Roatan Island Honduras Tourist Guide

Roatan Island Honduras is an adventure traveler's vacation paradise in the Caribbean. Roatan with blue skies, sun drenched clear turquoise water, and year round temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s.   Roatan Island lies 30 miles off the north coast of Honduras and is 33 miles long and 4 miles wide.  You won't find four star high-rise hotels, yet, but  you will find a new golf course (Pristine Bay) which is closed to the public, and several limited shopping malls.  You will find Roatan struggling with tourism, real estate development, and infrastructure support such as transportation, water, sewer, and power.  Roatan has improved trash removal.  Don't be surprised to find pristine areas next to unkempt property.  Roatan Island does offer first class scuba diving, scuba certification, outstanding snorkeling,  water activities including deep sea fishing, fly-fishing on the flats and mangroves, swimming with the dolphins, and ocean kayaking and jet ski rental  Land activities include a choice of canopy tours, riding horses, exploring lush tropical scenery, shopping for island crafts, eating at some of the best restaurants in Honduras, walking the beach and viewing the butterfly and floral gardens. The island has full service resorts and small, personal low-key resorts or you can rent a private home.  Below you will find many useful links for more Roatan tourist information.
