If you’re a fan or a rookie yoga practitioner Roatan has more than a couple of options for you. Not
only you can practice Yoga here on the big wooden lanais and piers with amazing settings and ocean views,
but also with professional certified yoga trainers.
Places we recommend: Roatan Yoga (Located at Tranquil Seas), Zen yoga (Class given by Moony).
We can also help you organize private lessons in our sister hotel small wooden pier just minutes
away from center of West End.
Roatan is known around the world for its second largest barrier reef (The Mesoamerican Barrier
Reef) after Australia’s but what almost most people don’t know is how near the wall is; It’s in some parts as
close as 1o1 meters to the coast which makes the experience not only cheaper but more accessible.
Its marine diversity will leave you with no words.
West End (the most touristic part of the island) has many dive shops where you can get certified from
Discovery dive to Dive dive master or Instructor.
We recommend: Sun Divers Dive shop( basically across the street from Posada Arco Iris)
Eco divers
Right from the in front Posada Arco Iris you can swim to the coral reef and discover the underwater sealife but that is just one of many different spots.
The key is to look for where the tiny waves crash in the coral around, there, will be coral and sea life. You can rent mask and fins from the hotel’s.
You can get the kayak from the hotel and cruise in Half Moon Bay, the name of the bay comes from its shape; Making a perfect place to explore.
Cayos Cochinos are what you imagine as a Robinson Crusoe adventure. A couple of small cays, surrounded by crystal clear water and very close to each other. Depending on the size of the boat but in a couple of hours you’re there.
If you lucky some dolphins will approach the boat, curious about the noise of the engine and will stay a while swimming around.
Once you are no longer in open seas, close to the cays you may find a snorkeling spot; due to lack of many divers the reef is in amazing conditions and untouched.
At noon you will most likely visit “Cachahuate” the very picturesque Garifuna village. Lunch is freshly caught fish. You can walk around the Key (Small enough that only takes some minutes) and relax surrounded by clear water and white sand, there are also pelicans you can watch while the fishermen feed them.
On your way back you’ll probably enjoy amazing sunsets with a cold drink.
If you’re in for adrenaline rush there are some places in West Bay Beach where you can rent jet skis.
On Roatan roads are like a roller coasters, in bad conditions, not only because of the hills and constant curves but also plenty of potholes. But it doesn’t stop true motorcycle lovers.
