10 Day Trips from in Roatan That You Shouldn't Miss

May 28, 2021 Roger Rusk

The best way to cap off a day of pristine Roatán reef diving and heart-pumping adventure is to sip a sunset cocktail by the beach. From zip-lining to deep-sea fishing to exploring the military-protected archipelago of Cayos Cochinos, the Honduran island is a playground for lovers of water sports and ecotourism. Landlubbers will adore the Carambola botanical gardens, touring the Stone Castle Cameo Factory, or exploring the beaches on horseback.

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.

This island is a piece of heaven on earth located 19-miles from our Port. Which is a 55 min trip to an hour (depending weather conditions) where you can enjoy historic sites such as Fort Cay where you will see a fort made by pirates, just like the bay of Port Royal famous for being a pirate harbor. At the same time you will see the honey cone rock island known locally as Cow and Calf. Then we will pass by the large area of mangrove which separates Roatán from St. Helena. Continuing with the historic island of St. Helena known for its friendly inhabitants who are engaged in traditional fishing activity and local farming to sustain part of the island economy. Once in pigeon cays you will see that the island is surrounded by crystalline turquoise water and white sand. It is also surrounded by a totally healthy and beautiful reef. You can fully enjoy the island as it is an isolated paradise. (Mangrove canal may or may not be available due to time or weather conditions)

Inclusions: Bottled water, Chips & Dip, Cookies and Fruits, Local Beer, Air-conditioned vehicle, Use of Snorkelling equipment

Sadly due to Covid19 we had to cancel our visit so I cannot speak to how wonderful this place is. What I can speak about is their top notch Customer Service. When I had to cancel I was nervous I might be out the $200 I paid for myself and my family. To my surprise, the money was refunded to my card THE SAME DAY that I cancelled. This is the fastest refund I have received ever. I’m still waiting for a refund from the cruise line I was traveling with and it’s been over 30 days. I was grateful for the speedy return of my money in these unfortunate and uncertain times. As soon as it’s safe to travel and I have my vacation booked I will gladly rebook with this Vendor.
