Why the
Hondura Bay Islands
are special
The Bay Islands are praised around the globe for their diving opportunities. They have outstanding coral reefs and walls - and the sites are seldom crowded.
There
are eight Bay Islands
plus nearly six dozen cays
The three major ones - in order of size and popularity - are:
Roatan
Most divers and other visitors stay on Roatan. It has the best beachside resorts and a steep, picturesque mountainous interior.
Guanaja
It's less developed than Roatan. Guanaja has shipwrecks for divers to explore as well as some good resorts.
Utila
This is the most laid back and least expensive of the three islands. Like Roatan and Guanaja, Utila has great beaches and uncrowded coral reefs, but its interior terrain is flatter and less camera-friendly.
See the map below for their locations.
