Caribbean Adventures

Written by Caribbean Diving
Man it is sooooo good to be back on the island of Roatan. I just woke up and its 11.00 am so I missed the first dive boat. Well I had an awesome party last night though so this has to be expected.
It's never flashed on your television screen, it's never been talked about on the radio, then what's the buzz surrounding the Caribbean Isles? In the heart of the Caribbean, lies a precious jewel- a jewel on the second largest barrier reef system in the world!

Paradise Underwater

Written by Oceano Village

About 35 miles off the coast of Honduras sits Roatan Island -- boasting Caribbean vacation homes , lush tropical greenery, local developments and fishing villas. Roatan Island is around 32 miles long and is slender, elongated and curved like the blade of an ancient pirate's cutlass. Surrounded by shimmering, sun-drenched turquoise waters -- Roatan is the largest of the Bay Islands. Hidden treasure of all kind waits patiently to be discovered on the island of Roatan.

History of Roatan

Written by Mickey Charteris

A History of Roatan:


Paya Indians :
The first known inhabitants of the island were Paya Indians. Their pottery and small sculptures, called Yaba-ding-ding, are unearthed every day across the island. Little is known of these people but when Columbus “discovered” the Bay Islands in 1505 (his 4th voyage) his brother Bartholomew went ashore to meet them.

Things to do in Roatan

Things to Do on Roatan- Land

There is plenty to see and do above the water and away from Roatan’s popular beaches. Take the time to seek out the Island’s hidden corners, or some of it’s hidden luxuries. Spend the afternoon finding a deserted stretch of beach, the best seafood on the island, or a lazy tropical spa.
