 It is the largest of the Bay Islands and is known for its stunning beaches, clear waters, and diverse marine life, making it a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling.

When we visited Roatan on 3/28/2018, we took a tour to Maya Eden where we were able to view and hold the local wildlife and take a short hike thru the jungle.  On our second trip to Roatan on 3/16/2022, we took a different tour but it also included a stop at Maya Eden. 

In addition to its natural beauty, Roatán has a rich history, having been inhabited by various indigenous cultures for centuries and later serving as a pirate base. Today, the island is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its laid-back Caribbean atmosphere, cultural attractions, and outdoor recreation opportunities.
