Welcome to Island Life Tours, where laid back luxury reigns supreme.

“Nestled in the Gulf of Honduras and washed by the water of the Caribbean Sea”, Islas de la Bahia, [The Bay Islands] are made up of four larger islands, Cayos Cochinos, Roatan, Guanaja, and Utila and over 60 small islets and cays [pronounced keys].  These tropical islands are located in the western Caribbean, off the northern coast of Honduras.  All of the islands have something different and very special to offer visitors.

Utila has eleven neighboring Cays, but Suc Suc, [also known as Jewel Cay] and Pigeon Cays are referred to by locals simply as “The Cays”.  Suc Suc was settled by Joseph Cooper, his wife and their six children in 1836. Their journey was not one of religion or political need, but for the potential of prosperity.  The Coopers discovered 2 Americans farming here upon their arrival at Suc Suc Cay, Mr. Samuel Warren who subsequently married a daughter of Joseph Cooper, and Mr. Joshua who never married.  Later in history, small numbers settlers from United States, England, Germany, Switzerland and other places helped to improve the population of the Cays and Utila. Today Suc Suc and Pigeon Cays, [locals say upper and lower Cays] are connected by a bridge allowing everyone easy walking access.

Island Life Tours’ specialty niche is The Cays, just a short 5 mile boat ride from Utila town, the activity hub on the Island of Utila. The Cays are a getaway, a break from the hustle and bustle of Utila.  The Cays are a very special place where about 500 people call it home, some of the most beautiful spirited people on the planet.  It’s colorful, serene, and peaceful.  Today, fishing is the main industry, and local shops, restaurants, and churches make up the balance.  Cay life is relaxed with virtually no crime, no cars, no streets, no addresses, and a friendly population of honest, quiet, industrious and unpretending folk.
