If you are traveling to Roatan on a cruise ship, your port of call will be the Port of Roatan (Town Center) in Coxen Hole or Mahogany Bay (Mahogany Bay Cruise Center) in Dixon’s Cove. Both cruise ports are approximately 3 miles apart from each other, with the Port of Roatan being more westward.
Roatan is not a very large island, but it has many small towns and villages scattered throughout its coastline. Here we will mainly describe the popular areas visited by locals and travelers alike. As you will see, most if not all towns and villages have English names, a sign of the British colonization of Roatan. Many of the most popular “things to do in Roatan” can be found in these towns and villages.

Christopher Columbus discovered the Bay Islands between 1502-1504, during his fourth voyage. Visiting the neighboring island of Guanaja, he claimed the Bay Islands for Spain.
Furthermore, Roatan sits on the second largest barrier reef system on the planet and largest in the western hemisphere. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef stretches from the country of Belize to Roatan for over 700 miles. The reef’s close proximity to shore and protected Caribbean waters gives an advantage to many water-sport enthusiasts like scuba divers. Roatan has become a world-class destination for big game fishing, boaters, divers, snorkelers, etc..
Roatan’s weather is consistent year round with a 10 degree variation in temperature. The months of September through January are considered the rainy season, with sporadic down pour of rain and sunshine. On an average, Roatan receives approximately 99 inches of rain a year.
You can organize a tour of the islands through a Roatan Tours, or hire a taxi driver to bring you around. For private drivers, expect to pay around L2200–L3000 for a full day tour or L1430–L1650 for a half day. Canopy tours are a fun way to see the island’s geography from a fantastic viewpoint, and all of Roatán’s operators have good safety records.
