10 Day Trips from in Bay Islands That You Shouldn't Miss

May 2, 2022 Milan Banda

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly island vacation, consider the Bay Islands. Each one appeals to different travelers—Roatan’s the most developed (but still not as built-up as, say, St. Thomas), Guanaia’s rustic and Utila’s in between. All three have great dive spots and beaches.

Not sure this is always the case, but this island is way over crowded with cruise passengers most of the time. Lots of road construction everywhere. The stop at Daniel Johnson's Monkey & Sloth Hang Out was way underwhelming. The place is very small, not much more than a couple of backyard cages. It was hot, no way to buy a drink and not well planned by the tour operator. In my opinion, any tour of this location that involves being driven several miles is not a good idea at this time.
