Roatan Island
Roatan Island

Roatan Island is one of the three Bay Islands off Honduras's Caribbean coast. Roatan is surrounded by over 100km of tropical coral reef, making second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef. This makes it a paradise for diving and snorkelling to view the coral, sponges and huge diversity of colourful tropical fish. Back on dry land, the island has stunning palm-fringed beaches, warm turquoise waters and a laid back Caribbean vibe.
