Getting to Roatan Parts 1 and 2
... problem with the second flight because of the political problems so we will be put up in a hotel on the mainland of Honduras and flown to Roatan in the morning. This seems reasonable so we board the flight. We check all the US papers ...
The longest travel day EVERRRR....
... talking to a couple friendly guys - Elijah from Oregon and Rajesh from New York. The four of us ended up splitting a taxi to Roatan's West End for $15, and then parted ways. The ferry ride itself was an awful repeat of the highspeed catamaran from hell in ...
Packing and Going Home
Located on its own 23 acre island, The Fantasy Island Dive Resort and Marina was our home base, and ideal for the die-hard diver, but as we found upon check-in there are some glitches in its armor. Most of the rooms need some serious Extreme Make-overs, ...
Roaming the Island
... Bojangles. It is also where you find the island's International Airport, and the Cruise Ship Pier which is getting a total redo. Roatan's new cruise ship pier facility should be finished by February 2008, with the expectation of at least one cruise ship a ...
Last post
Well, this is our last day on the island of Utila - we are being treated to a couple of nights in a lovely house right on the water at the other end of town but sadly Jonnie has now come down with the bug I had or food poisoning, we're not sure which. We ...
Beautiful Island
... hours later were in Utila. A steamy and muggy laid back island. We spent the rest of the day reading by the poolside and munching on local food. That evening we had some of the best pizza ever! Who would have though good pizza could be found in ...
Paradise + Insect bites = Fun!
... swim alongside a sea turtle for a bit!) While I shall leave this entry short and sweet (as the photos will speak for themselves), Roatan has a lot to offer every traveller (even the lazy ones who want nothing more than to tan all day): there is plenty of ...
It's my birthday!
Yay! It's my birthday :) I celebrate by having waffles with cherries and whipped cream again for breakfast! We catch a cab and head to West Bay Beach. There is a complicated process of many people exchanging money, which I don’t even try to ...
David 'n' Annik's unforgettable trip to Roatan
... quite as much ;) Monday was another rainy day. Our plans for a perfect sunny b-day got rainned out but Rainny Roatan beats Chilly Canton everyday! :) it finally stopped raining around dinner time so we cabbed it to West End and tried "Tongs" ...
Still workin' on my tan
... will be heading out one last time this afternoon and then be done with the trip. We ended up buying airline tickets to fly from Roatan to San Pedro Sula. They cost about the same amount as we would have spent traveling, and we'll get to SAP in about ...
Show me your slits!
Roatan is a wonderful place! It is part of the country Honduras that lies just north of the mainland. I got the opportunity to visit this amazing place through a Tropical Marine Ecology trip through the U! So our group of 12 students and ...
Under the Sea
... pool that overlooked the ocean. Unfortunately two days was nowhere near enough time here but we had to say goodbye as the group was flying back to the mainland the next day. I wonder if Virgin Australia might start doing direct flights to Honduras??? ...
Loving the water!
One of our favorite things about Roatan is the water. Our daily routine consist of sleeping in (Dennis loves his sleep. I'm always to bed after him and wake up before him), we make some breaky, go for a swim or snorkel around the reef, walk around the ...
Roatan and Utila
... touch you 'orrible lot - the emails are drying up a bit! Lots of Love and kisses C x Hello lads, Well I am STILL on Roatan and havent managed to do more than the 2 dives I managed on day 2 - clearly too much booze abuse. However the good ...
Bonne fête Roseline!
Bonne fête Roseline! À 7:30, Caillou se lève et va voir sur la plage le gars avec le bateau d'hier. Il doit lui dire le prix pour aller au centre des dauphins. En même temps, Caillou en profite pour commander un déjeuner spécial pour Roseline... ...
Roatan
We arrived on Roatan today, and for the bay islands, we're staying at nicer places. This will be the "vacation" part of the trip. The internet connection on the islands are soooooooo slow. I can't believe I'm paying for this. I'm ...
A great island to dive (or not, in my case...)
The plan was simple: a 4 day diving course in a perfect location. The location was great (even though sleeping the BananaRama had rather basic hospitality), but located at the West End beach, you can't really ask more from a Caribbean hot spot. The water ...
2ième journée de plongée
2ième journée de plongée qui nous a réconciliée avec Roatan Nous avons fait une plongée profonde à plus de 115 pieds en pénétrant dans un long corridor. Après une petite hésitation, je m'y suis aventuré avec confiance et j'en suis ...
Roatan and Diving!
... was a fairly upscale boat which premiered the movie Batman Begins - a nice way to keep your mind off the constant rocking. West End, Roatan is no more than a strip of beach with a small town built up on it. And by "town" I mean the largest collection ...
Voyage de plongée avec plongeurs certifiés
Nous sommes arrivés en temps sous un beau ciel bleu et plein de soleil. Le seul petit inconvénient, c'est que lors du transport, la valise de Daniel a été brisée et il a été chanceux que tout son linge et son baggage ne soit étendu sur le ...
Roatan
Today we were on the wonderful island of Roatan Honduras. We took a tour to a Cameo factory. No, we did not buy one. We also were able to watchwatch dancers from the area and they were quite impressive!we had dinner with our new friends and had many ...

This is the life
Next port we actually docked and could walk off, which was a nice change. My tour this time was on the Catamaran with snorkling on the reef. I guess I expected to actually go sailing, not motoring so I was somewhat disappointed, but the snorkling made ...
My First Night on Roatan, a.k.a.The Frog
My First Night on the Island of Roatan My concerns are confirmed as we pull up in front of the hotel in West End. My apartment is spacious, but exactly what I thought would be wrong for me is and something I hadn't considered. There is not enough ...
I Found What I Came Here For!
... June 3rd. I want you to know that all your generous donations went to deserving and needy children in both Guatemala and Honduras. Central America and the peoples are different beyond anything you can imagine, and well worth knowing. I believe I ...
Meet Jose
... , if you're interested . Today was much better though, we got a local tour guide to take us to some great places around Roatan that otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get to. Beautiful views all around the island, we were able to see Cayos Cochinos, ...

Heading back into Roatan Honduras
Hi Everyone Just a quick blog to let you know we are heading back into Roatan. We had an oil leak in the port engine and had to shut it down. We tried everything we could to fix it at sea but the seas were to rough to safely work on it. ...
