The first things to decide is when to go ?

The Rainy season is best to avoid but if you are around at this time it may not be too bad. It starts mid October but could start to get wetter during August and can finish as late as January. Having said that New Years is a busy time. June and July can have a mini rainy season as well. It can be hard to predict what it will be like anywhere in the tropics and Roatan is no exception.  Summer can be very hot indeed and so is not considered a high season as its very hot and humid. Beware the week of easter  (easter week) and surrounding for the Spanish festival Semana Santa things get fully booked on the island but it can be a fun time to arrive especially if you like to party.

Getting to Roatan and Utila

See the FLIGHTS TO ROATAN page

From mainland Honduras- take the ferry from La Ceiba. Here is the ferry schedule for Roatan

It is now possible to arrange private sea borne travel between Utila and Roatan daily. This is only saving you time as it is more expensive than hitting La Ceiba and back out to the other island.

What should you take with you ?

Bug spray will make your stay more comfortable and it can be bought on the island but it is more expensive so bring a can for your first couple of nights so you don't get caught out.
