Western Caribbean

Roatán, Honduras

A long green island wrapped in the world's second-largest barrier reef.

Roatán is the largest of the Bay Islands of Honduras, lying roughly 40 miles off the mainland. The island is fringed by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, so snorkelling often starts a few steps from the sand. Cruise visitors head for West Bay Beach, jungle canopy parks and the Garifuna community of Punta Gorda.
