Roatan Island is located in the Western Caribbean, and together with Guanaja and Utila, makes up the Bay Islands archipelago, Roatan being the largest of the three and the most developed.
The island measures approximately 37 miles long and up to 4 miles wide at its widest point, and its terrain is characterized by rolling hills covered with tropical jungle.
The island’s geographic position, 35 miles north off the coast of Honduras, protects Roatan from hurricanes because of its proximity to continental bays.
Originally an English colony, the island has a mixture of English and Spanish-speaking locals who are extremely warm and friendly.
The Lempira is the local currency, but US dollars are widely accepted. Year-round temperatures in the 80s and 90s make Roatan an important cruise ship, scuba diving, and eco-tourism destination.
The island is surrounded by the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world, making it attractive to divers and tourists worldwide seeking its turquoise blue warm waters, white sand beaches, and outstanding snorkeling. Contact Ale and Jessie for recommendations on local diving as they are certified PADI Open Water Divers.
Water activities include deep-sea fishing, fly fishing on the flats, mangrove tours, swimming with dolphins, ocean kayaking, and jet ski rental.
Land activities include a choice of canopy tours, horseback riding, exploring lush tropical scenery, souvenir shopping, and a wide variety of bars and restaurants.
Regarding Roatan accommodations and available investment opportunities, the island still retains its authentic island charm, so visitors have a wide variety of options to choose from, ranging from full-amenity resorts to more rustic selections.
