Bookmark & shareSurrounded by a rich living reef, Roatán is a paradise for divers and snorkelers.
The most popular of the Bay Islands, Roatán is big enough to keep non-divers interested with botanical gardens, butterfly and iguana farms, canopy tours and winding dirt roads leading to small villages and isolated bays - as idyllic as any tourist brochure.
