Best Water Activities in Roatan

Flights to Roatan

Multi-country travel is a common vacation theme and with daily flights to Roatan Honduras from Belize, it is super easy to get from one country to the other.

Today’s guest post comes to you from well-known writer Amanda Walkins.

Her blog is centered on travel and expat related themes, with a strong focus on her time living on the Caribbean island of Roatan, Honduras. Amanda believes that travel creates stronger bonds between different cultures and countries, allowing individuals to expand their own understanding of the world on personal terms rather than solely through classrooms and the news. Living overseas as an expat provides a unique perspective on another culture and another way of life.

A few reasons to Fly on over to Roatan on your Belize Vacation

Belize is well known as a premier SCUBA diving location, with some of the most unique dive sites in the world (Blue Hole, anyone?).

If you’re traveling to Belize for a diving vacation, you should consider extending your trip to take advantage of Tropic Air’s direct flight to the island of Roatan. A quick 1-hour flight brings you from Belize City to Roatan International Airport. Be sure to fly with a purpose book your Tropic flights with tacogirl Coupon Code. Automatically support two local charities, without any additional cost to you. Click on the Tropic Air/Premier Duty Free ad to the right of this article for your flight promo code and a code of 15% off at the duty-free store.

Flights to Roatan

Lots to see on a Roatan flight

The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef extends from Belize out to the Bay Islands of Honduras, of which Roatan is the largest. Diving in Roatan is a bucket list item, so if you don’t have it on your list already, it’s time to add it!

Diving Roatan

But diving isn’t the only amazing thing about the island of Roatan…there are so many water activities you can do even if you’re not a diver. In fact, Roatan has become an incredibly popular destination for families and groups with a mix of divers and non-divers because of the diversity of activities for everyone to enjoy.

For you beach bums, West Bay Beach in Roatan is frequently voted one of the Caribbean’s best beaches. From this extensive strip of perfectly fine, white sand, you can swim out to the coral reef only a few minutes away for some of the best snorkeling in the world.

Don’t consider yourself a snorkeler either? No problem. Head to West End to try becoming a bubblehead. Ocean Connections Water Sports hosts the B.O.S.S. Underwater Adventure, where you can actually ride a submersible scooter. That’s right, you can drive underwater while breathing normally. This is such a unique underwater adventure that you have to try!

If you’re ready for something new, try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding. This activity is one of the fastest growing sports in the world right now, gaining popularity for being easy and fun to learn. The water along Roatan’s northwestern coast sees very little wave action, making it the perfect location to test out your new skills.

If you’re ready for a challenge, try flyboarding – you’ll feel like a superhero as you soar out of the water with your feet attached to what looks like a snowboard. The propulsion from the Jet Ski you’re attached to will give you the ability to fly, twist, and flip around in the air above the turquoise Caribbean waters.

Perhaps one of the all-time favorite water activities for visitors to Roatan is the variety of boat tours available…

Head to nearby Cayos Cochinos for the boat tour of a lifetime. These isolated little islands offer some of the healthiest coral reefs in the world, and the day trip is unlike any other.

Take a glass-bottom boat tour with the family to show off the beautiful underwater views to those who can’t snorkel or dive.

Take a tour through Roatan’s famous mangrove tunnels, carved out by the Paya Indians who once inhabited the island before Europeans arrived in the region.

There are even sunset catamaran cruises complete with live music and drinks so you can get the party started with the most breathtaking views on Earth.

Whatever water activities you opt to do in Roatan, you are guaranteed to enjoy the gorgeous tropical vistas, the healthy coral reef, and the warmth of sunshine and Caribbean waters, Roatan is the perfect addition to your visit to Belize!

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
