roger4336A Honduras vacation to Roatan Island is an adventure traveler's dream. Located in the crystal clear, warm waters of the Caribbean with year round sunshine. The island is located 30 miles off the coast of Honduras, and it remains an undeveloped tropical paradise. There are no five star resorts or shopping malls yet, although there is a golf course now.
The island still lacks some of the basic infrastructure to support large scale tourism, but it has improved some things in recent years such as trash removal. Roatan Island is known for its top notch scuba diving, snorkeling and other ocean activities. These include deep sea fishing, swimming with dolphins, sea kayaking and jet skiing. There are also many land-based activities to enjoy on Roatan including shopping, horse riding and canopy tours.
