Roatan is the largest island North of Honduras and is part of the Bahia archipelago. For many years it went unnoticed before being rediscovered; it is now considered to be the most beautiful island in the Caribbean. The coral reef is the second-largest in the world, after the Great Barrier Reef. It is easy for snorkellers and divers to reach stunningly beautiful coral gardens in the brightest colours, sponges, coral caves and wrecks shrouded in legend. Crystal clear water and white sandy beaches are perfect for splashing about and just relaxing. The largest towns on Roatan are the capital Coxen Hole and the port, French Harbor. Oak Ridge is home to the diving hotel Reef House and the diving station of the same name. The town is split in two by a waterway and the houses are built on stilts.

Tips for excursions

Diving with sharks

Panoramic submarine tour and West End Village

Unique panoramic submarine trip with views of the coral reef through a large, clear picture window. Followed by time to go shopping in West End Village or simply to relax with a cup of Honduran coffee.

Catamaran and snorkelling tour

The sailing and snorkelling adventure begins on board a beautiful yacht with a one-hour tour of the coast of Roatan. The participants will then be supplied by the crew with snorkelling equipment and the necessary instructions. There will then be an hour to explore one of the most beautiful living coral reefs in Latin America and to admire the unique flora and fauna.
