Roatan Water Activities
Fishing Charters
Roatan is great for fishing opportunities, both deep sea or flats. The reef is just a couple of hundred meters off shore in some areas of the coastline offering a very close fishing ground of the deep waters of the Cayman Trench. Cayos Cochinos outer banks between Roatan & Honduras mainland are also a great place to troll. Black fin tuna, yellow fin tuna, wahoo, barracuda, dorado, marlin & sailfish are among the fish you can expect to catch. Some parts of the coastline have much larger & wider lagoons creating great flats, perfect for fishing permit & bonefish. Contact us about boats and prices: There are many different options from the smaller locally owned fishing boats, to flats, to the larger sport fishing boats available for charter. Depending on your group size and fishing needs we can help find the right guide and boat for you. |
Cayos Cochinos - The Hog Islands
Visiting Cayos Cochinos is one of our favourite day trips. Cayos Cochinos, also known as The Hog Islands, are comprised of two small islands, Cayo Menor and Cayo Grande, and 13 tiny coral cays. There are no cars on the islands, making them a unique escape. Cayos Cochinos, with the assistance of the Smithsonian Institution, became a marine protected area in 1994. The islands are amazingly beautiful & prompted National geographic to write "The waters around this collection of coral cays are a marine biologist`s dream: protected by the government, off-limits to commercial divers and fishermen, and busy with creatures that may not yet have names." Chachauate, one of the larger of the cays, is a traditional Garifuna fishing village. Contact us to find out which days this trip is available during your vacation. We recommend you plan a trip to Cayos for early on in your visit, the trip dates can become flexible due to weather conditions. |
Boat Charters
There are many ways to enjoy Roatan by boat: choose from large or small sport fishing boats to catamarans and private sailing charters. Different operators offer a variety of full & half day trips which can include; snorkeling trips along the coast, visiting the smaller cays off shore, deserted beaches, circumnavigation of Roatan including mangrove tunnels, sunset sail and / or booze cruise. |

Mangrove Tunnels
Explore the mangrove tunnels, which were carved many years ago to navigate the calm waters inside the mangroves trees. Take a tour in an island style Dory through the harbours of Oak Ridge & Jonesville, past colourfully painted wooden houses on stilts and past the larger fishing fleets moored in the calm waters. Oakridge is as authentic roots Roatan as you can get, home to the island`s oldest fishing community. | |
