Things To Do.
Most Popular.
What follows is a comprehensive overview of Things to do in Roatan Honduras. Many of our visitors arrive only for a day, on a cruise ship. That's the bad news. The good news is that most of the activities on Roatan can be done in one day. And if you plan it well, you may be able to do many activities in just one day.
Scuba Diving.
It should go without saying that Roatan offers world-class scuba diving. Roatan sits on the second largest barrier reef in the world, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Scuba Diving is the most popular attraction on the island without a doubt and the Scuba Shop best operator.
French Key.
Little French Key is one of Roatan's most interesting hangouts. Little French Key is first and foremost a private residence!, but you'll never know it. They have a mini zoo, pristine beaches, a nice diving platform. The most photogenic spot on Roatan.
Sloths Tour.
The Sloth Sanctuary makes for a remarkable experience. The Sloths are adorable and photogenic. Tourists usually underestimate this tour, but after they hold the sloth, they come away with a trip highlight. Roatan's Sloths makes for perfect photos.

Attractions & Destinations.
Live Music.
You cannot download a live music experience. That is true in an urban setting and its true on Isla Roatan. There is something magical about listening to live music, in a poorly lit bungalow, and right on the beach. Before you leave for Roatan, print out the Live Music Scene schedule and bring it with you.
West End.
West End is a must stop spot while on Roatan. It is a local town with its main street traveling parallel to the waterfront. West End has excellent restaurants and shops for tourist to enjoy an afternoon scroll. Further to all this, the town comes to life after the sun sets and makes for an entertaining evening.
West Bay.
West Bay is one of the Roatan's main attractions. The beach is known for its tranquil waters, excellent snorkeling, shore entry scuba, and an array of waterfront activities. Tourist coming off of cruise ship find their way to West Bay beach for a few hours while the ship is safely docked.
