The myriad of fascinating coral reefs create an underwater haven for scuba diving and snorkelling, allowing you to explore the exotic sea-life from the copious diving sites that line Roatan’s coast. Plunge into the depth of the waters among the alluring tropical fish or swim around the bright blue sea at your own leisure. For those not partial to underwater adventure, the shoreline is entirely encompassed by forestry and verdant foliage - the perfect setting to sit and admire the beautiful surroundings. It would take a few days to fully traverse around the mountainside, so anyone with a taste for adventure or love for the great outdoors would be overjoyed by the mecca of tropical plant life. The island may appear as a paradise for adrenaline junkies, yet there is plenty of white sand to host your attempt to achieve sun kissed skin underneath the Caribbean sun. After exploring the waters, basking in the glorious weather or embarking on a land adventure, the evenings are fairly relaxed all over the island. Very few bars are found on the island, so the atmosphere is designed more to families and couples as opposed to partygoers; the entertainment comprises of excellent restaurants and the occasional karaoke bar.
Buses run every 15 minutes from the main stations, covering much of the island. Taxis are readily available and can be negotiated with to prevent tourists being overcharged, whereas water taxis have fixed prices and are typically very reliable. For personal transport, rental scooter companies offer fairly affordable prices.
La Ceiba is a port city on the northern coast of Honduras, situated in Central America. According to legend, the city was named after a giant Ceiba tree grew near the docks, initially becoming a tourist attraction in itself for many decades. La Ceiba forms part of the south eastern boundary of the Gulf of Honduras and is host to over 200,000 permanent residents, though at most times of the year tourists form the majority with generally over half a million residing there at any one time. Party-goers typically lust over the buzzing nightlife and late night clubs that are synonymous with La Ceiba. Nearly all the action is over the estuary in Barrio La Isla, which has become somewhat of a mecca for Hondurans who want to let loose for a few days. Away from the party scene there are several beaches, though many of them are deemed polluted and unsafe so remain largely untouched by tourists. The downtown area has a similarly neglected vibe, but remains more of a tourist hub due to the transport links to La Ceiba’s natural landscapes. There are buses that run to Pico Bonito National Park, the picturesque Cayos Cochinos and the stunning white water on the Rio Cangrejal. The town is relatively small so many of the locals will have knowledge of all the major sights and their transport links; it is advised to have the name of the desired destination written on a piece of paper for easy communication. A taxi rank lies in the centre of the town which is within a relatively short distance from the port, though it is worthwhile negotiating a price before entry.
