Things to do in Roatan, Bay Islands: The Best Walking Tours

November 2, 2021 Darleen Reid

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.

We had a wonderful day in Roatan with our guide Chapin. Chapin was very informative and very friendly. We had a blast ziplining and Chapin was with us the whole making us feel safe and comfortable. The snorkling was amazing thanks to Chapin who pointed out all the beautiful sea creatures. We would highly recommend this tour and do it with Chaplin he will make your day.
