Curator’s statement
Whether you crave an adrenaline-fueled adventure, a serene escape or a cultural immersion, Roatán promises an unforgettable experience. Roatán sits on the edge of the world's second-largest barrier reef, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, making it a world-renowned diving destination. If scuba diving isn't your thing, you can hike through lush rainforests, zip-line through the jungle canopy, kayak through mangrove forests or discover hidden waterfalls — the options are endless! I hope this guide inspires to discover Roatán!
