• Sport fishing After years of over-fishing the black bass popultion in the lake has again returned to safe levels. Bring your own equipment or join a tour with one of the hotels.

• Honduyate Marina has sailboats and other water activities.

Hiking Cerro Azul Meambar Park. Very nicely developed park run by an NGO. You can stay in the park for $40 per night per room. Trails are well marked, so you won't need to hire a guide. You can also go and hike there for the day for 40L. To get there, catch a bus from La Guama to Santa Elena. Tell the driver you want him to take you to Los Pinos, it'll cost you an extra $8.

• La Posada at Honduyate Marina
• Brisas del Lago
• Agua Azul
• Hotel Finca Las Glorias (former glory, and been known to threaten guests - armed)
• D&D Microbrewery and Bed and Breakfast(Website looks good but the place is pretty dirty. The food is good but check it to make sure it's cooked thoroughly. Thee beer is tasty but very mild. The location is fairly isolated and it's hard to find if you're traveling by car. All in all, it could be a spectacular retreat but it's so dirty that it's kind of hard to sleep there.)
• El Cortijo Del Lago, (Turn off the Tegucigalpa-San Pedro Sula highway at La Guama towards Pena Blanca, go 2 km. turn left at the El Cortijo del Lago sign. By bus, get off at La Guama and catch a bus going to Pena Blanca), ☎ (504) 9906-5333, [1]. Basic accommodations, but beautifully situated on the lake and very quiet. Great for birdwatching. Bring bug spray and wear it. Nice screened-in restaurant and friendly owners.  edit
