Roatan, Honduras

Roatan is part of a cluster of island archipelagos situated ten to forty miles off the northern coast of Honduras. These islands are a gem in the western Caribbean, surrounded by the largest barrier reef system in the northern hemisphere. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is second in size only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.  

 

Roatan is rated a spectacular Caribbean destination experience time and again, not only for its astonishing views and sites. Here we have something special—an amazingly diverse Caribbean culture against the unparalleled beauty of the island’s natural landscape.
 

Still far outside the glitterati of the Eastern Caribbean, the beautiful island of Roatan offers an authentic Caribbean experience with the comforts of home.

 

Since its recognition as a dive mecca in the 1960’s, Roatan has become known as a tropical retreat in the tranquil Caribbean. While Roatan remains a quaint tropical island with a unique cultural identity, the infrastructural improvements and expanded direct flights have made Roatan more accessible during the last decade.

Blue Planet continues to offer amazing trips! Forgive the overuse of the word “amazing.” Anthony did an excellent job leading the trip at all points. Details were forthcoming prior to the trip and I felt well prepared. He was informative and helpful as the trip proceeded. Cocos Island is an amazing place. The 21 dives were all amazing and memorable. I look forward to the next adventure!

Superb planning by Blue Planet made this trip a joy. Nice accommodations at Old Gin, a really great dive shop and crew, first class boat and wonderful local folks who kept us in food and drinks. Blue Planet’s Jen was concierge, organizer, and great dive leader. Want an hassle-free, safe, and fun dive experience? Check out Blue Planet!

Another home run from Blue Planet! We saw sharks, shipwrecks, and more! Special thanks to our trip leader, Heather, for doing so much to make sure everyone had a blast!

I had a great time on my recent trip with Blue Planet. The dives were great and the group of divers were diverse and friendly. Plus points to Heather for going out of her way to find other activities when the weather didn’t cooperate.

Blue planet is absolutely spectacular - I try to go on at least one trip a year with them! They've taught me everything I know about diving and show incredible care and dedication to their divers. The trips are absolutely incredible; I wish it was possible to rate them six stars instead of five! I cannot recommend them highly enough and intend to keep diving with them for years to come.
