Highlights
We take you to the most visited and most beautiful beach in Honduras, West Bay Beach and from there, depart right from shore on a guided snorkeling tour of our beautiful reef. West Bay is arguably the best location to snorkel in Roatan, given that you don't have to jump on a boat to get to the reef. The second largest barrier reef system in the world, The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, is a few strokes away from the beach. The best part is that our guide knows the exact way in through some of the reef channels to get to the DROP! The drop is where the reef goes from 20ft from the surface to over 100 ft! Get ready to be amazed! Optionally, we offer stops at El Faro/The Lighthouse and Roatan Rum Company! You will be able to sample rum cake, rum and enjoy the amazing views at both of these spots! If you choose the West End Village option, we'll take you to the top attractions including the chocolate factory, Waves of Art , Roatan Rock Shop, Rusty Fish, Stone Cameo Factory and more.

About Roatan
Roatan is the largest of Honduras's Bay Islands, a long, narrow Caribbean island with white-sand beaches, reefs for diving and small fishing communities.
Roatan lies off the north coast of Honduras, a long ridge of green hills only a few kilometres wide. Its north shore faces the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second largest in the world, so snorkelling and scuba diving are the main attractions. West Bay Beach has a long curve of soft sand and shallow clear water, and West End, a laid-back village of dive shops, is nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Roatan: West Bay Beach, Gumbalimba Park, Roatán Cruise Ports.
