Day 4

roatan, honduras

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 15:00

Roatán, located between the islands of Utila and Guanaja, is the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands. Formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan, the island is approximately 77 kilometers long and less than 8 kilometers wide at its widest point. It is divided into two municipalities: José Santos Guardiola in the east and Roatán in the west, which also includes the Cayos Cochinos further to the south. The most populous town on the island is Coxen Hole, capital of the municipality of Roatán, located on the southwest coast. The easternmost quarter of the island is separated by a mangrove channel; this section is called Helene (Santa Elena in Spanish). Satellite islands at the eastern end include Morat, Barbareta, and Pigeon Cay, while further west between French Harbour and Coxen Hole are several cays, such as Stamp Cay and Barefoot Cay. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS • Cameo Factory in Coxen Hole • Carambola Gardens • Caves of Helene • Dolphin show at Anthony’s Key Resort • East End – for a more adventurous experience, visit the east end of the island. This area is home to many locals and some expatriates, as well as a few resorts. One of the most notable is Camp Bay Beach, Beach Adventure Lodge, the only resort on Camp Bay Beach. Here you’ll also find the Tasty Tarpon restaurant and easy, free access to the beach for snorkeling, diving, and fly fishing. Along the way, consider stopping at Marble Hill Farms, known for its excellent local jams and jellies. Asylum Bar & Grill, set on a palapa literally over the calm waters of Camp Bay, can feel like the “restaurant at the end of the universe” after the long journey to get there. Santa Helena, part of Roatán’s municipality of Santos Guardiola, is a small, secluded island about 12 miles east of Roatán. This off‑the‑beaten‑path tropical paradise is roughly one mile by two miles and sparsely populated by indigenous people who still live much as they did in the “Old Caribbean,” largely untouched by tourism and commercial development. St. Helene is the epitome of a sleepy little fishing village, accessible only by private boat or passenger ferry from Oak Ridge. • Garifuna Village Tour in Punta Gorda • Iguana Farm near French Harbour • Mangrove Forest Kayak Tour at Camp Bay Beach Adventure Lodge • Marine Science Museum at Anthony’s Key Resort • Oak Ridge – a small village on the eastern end of the island. On arrival, you’ll be offered water‑taxi tours to the Hole‑in‑the‑Wall restaurant, nearby communities, and around the harbor, but it’s also pleasant just to stroll through the village, lined with brightly colored wooden houses on stilts along the shore. • Pigeon Cayes – two small, deserted islands • Punta Gorda – renting a scooter and driving to Punta Gorda takes about one hour each way, passing through beautiful countryside. It’s a good way to escape the more touristy areas and experience places that look and feel more like mainland Honduras. The town is friendly, and with a bit of luck you may happen upon a beach party. • Roatán Butterfly Garden • White’s Beach • Marine Park – this protected reef area stretches from West Bay to Sandy Bay. Snorkeling and diving are excellent ways to experience the rich marine life. You can head out by kayak or boat, or simply swim out from the shore.
