Roatan

Roatan

The Bay Islands, just north of the Caribbean coast of Honduras, have a long and colorful history. The earliest Indian inhabitants are thought to have traded with the Maya of Yucatan. Roatan is the largest of the islands with small towns and fishing villages built along the waters edge. Snorkeling and diving is at its best here. You´ll find beautiful palm-fringed beaches and miles of off-shore coral reef inhabited by brilliantly colored fish and multicolored gardens of aquatic plants.

Attractions

There are fine restaurants, bars and attractions, such as Butterfly Park, Marble Hill Farms, the Iguana Farm and Carambola Gardens. But best of all, make sure to spend time exploring some of the most pure and untouched beaches in the Caribbean. It's all there for you to enjoy - at your own leisurely pace, of course.

Activities

Wander through Carambola Botanical Gardens in Sandy Bay and take in the sights and scents surrounding you. Enjoy the beauty and serenity of powder-white sand beaches and crystal-turquoise water.

Shopping

Honduran crafts can make a beautiful memento or gift and include wood carving (notably wooden instruments), basketry, embroidery and textile arts, leathercraft and ceramics.
