Roatan Walking Tour
Roatan, Honduras
Why Walk Roatan
Roatan is the largest of Honduras's Bay Islands, sitting on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — the second largest barrier reef in the world. The island was a base for English pirates in the 17th century and retains an English-speaking Afro-Caribbean culture distinct from mainland Honduras. Its combination of pristine diving, affordable prices, and uncrowded beaches draws divers and cruise passengers alike.
