Honduras is Caribbean diving heaven and Maya ruins — the reefs of Roatán and the temples of Copán. A travel eSIM connects you before you land at Roatán (RTB) or San Pedro Sula (SAP): buy online, scan a QR code from your email, done. New to eSIMs? Start with what an eSIM is and how it works.
Why an eSIM beats roaming in Honduras
Roaming from home can mean punishing daily fees or per-megabyte billing. A local-network eSIM is one fixed price for a data bundle, paid up front — nothing to settle later. See eSIM vs roaming: what international data really costs.
Mobile networks & coverage in Honduras
Honduras is served by Tigo and Claro. Turnaa plans connect through partners and lock onto the strongest available signal automatically; the operator is shown in each plan’s details drawer. Coverage is good in cities and towns, easing in remote and rural areas.

FAQ
How much data do I need for a Honduras trip?
Maps, messaging and social sit around 3–5 GB a week; more for streaming. See our data guide.
Does it work on Roatán?
Yes — the Bay Islands and towns are covered.
Do I keep my regular phone number?
Yes — the eSIM is a data-only line; your home SIM stays active for calls and texts, bank codes included.
What if it doesn’t work when I land?
Usually two settings: select the eSIM for data and enable data roaming (see troubleshooting). Support replies fast, and unactivated plans are refundable within 24 hours.
