The island is known worldwide for its second largest barrier reef, the Mesoamerican Barrier but what most people don’t know is how close the coral wall is; It’s in some parts as close as 100 meters to the coast which makes the experience not only cheaper but more accessible.
The marine diversity on the island is breathtaking.
West End (the little picturesque village) has many dive shops where you can get certified from Open Water to Dive Instructor.
Coconut Tree Dive shop, Sun divers and Eco Divers are ones we recommend.
Right from the beach in front of the hotel you can swim to the reef and discover the underwater world. That is just one of many different spots. The key is to look for where the tiny waves crash in the coral without getting to close, around there, will be coral and sea life. You can rent mask and fins from the hotel’s office.
You can get a kayak from our sister hotel and cruise in Half Moon Bay, the name of the bay comes from it’s shape; Making a perfect place to explore and go around it.
The Cayos Cochinos are just what you imagine as a Robinson Crusoe adventure, ureal. A couple of small cays, surrounded by turquoise clear water. Depending on the size of the boat you can be there in around two hours couple of hours, you’re there.
If you lucky some dolphins will approach the boat, curious about the noise of the engine and will stay a while swimming around.
Once you are no longer in open seas, close to the cays you may find a snorkeling spot; due to lack of many divers, the reef is in amazing conditions and virgin.
At noon you will probably visit “Cachahuate” the very picturesque Garifuna village. You can walk around the Key, literally with just some steps you can cross it.
On your way back you’ll probably enjoy an amazing sunset.
At West Bay Beach, there are a couple o rentals where you can rent and get a little adrenaline rush going around the bay.
The Island roads are like a roller coaster in bad conditions not only the hills and constant curves but also plenty of potholes. But it doesn’t stop true motorcycle lovers.
The views and sights while exploring are amazing.
Jeeps are also so much fun since their good for the Roatan road’s.
