You step off an air-conditioned van onto hot sand and the sea immediately calls — a turquoise edge that dares you to float above it. In four hours on Roatán's shore you’ll move between shallow coral gardens and small cultural markers: public letters spelling ROATAN, a famously oversized yellow chair, and a wooden sea swing that throws you into the water with a laugh.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Bring a snug mask
A well-fitting mask prevents leaks and lets you see more of the reef without frequent stops to clear your lens.
Hydrate before and after
Salt, sun and swimming dehydrate quickly — drink bottled water provided and bring a refill bottle for the trip.
Hold still near coral
Avoid touching or standing on corals; glide slowly to limit damage and increase chances of seeing shy wildlife.
