We did this trip
in 2005 and everyone really loved it. Now it’s time to go back for more.
Honduras has everything - tropical beauty as well as the crystal clear
waters and the amazing barrier reef around the island of Roatan!
If you’ve been to Belize or Costa Rica, you are bound to enjoy this
destination as well. This is an 8 day trip with 3 days spent on the
mainland and 5 days on Roatan. For our first 3 days, we’ll be staying
at this wonderful lodge outside the city of La Ceiba called Pico Bonito
which is a great lodge situated below the bright green face of the 8,000
foot Pico Bonito and its plumes of high white waterfalls. We’ll
enjoy tours such as river rafting on the world class Río
Cangrejal river, one of Central America’s most beautiful rivers,
horseback riding, hiking, and exploring. We’ll visit the Pico Bonito
National Park, Cuero y Salado wildlife refuge and we can even take a
trip to the Cayos Cochinos Marine Reserve. The grounds harbor a rich
diversity of plants, animals, and birds (over 260 species) and their own
butterfly sanctuary! It has won several awards and has been featured in
many magazines including “Top 50 Romantic Getaways” in Travel &
Leisure magazine! I know you’ll love it here. Check out their fabulous
web site at www.picobonito.com
to read more. You’ll see their 200 acre property with a nice pool, bar
and restaurant. Also included in our stay will be daily breakfast,
transportation into town for nightlife, most of the hikes that are
normally $30 pp and discounts on our other activities! Then, we’ll head
over to the Bay Islands for our 5-night stay on Roatan. Known mostly for
the diving and snorkeling, it’s also a great place to be for the
pristine beaches and other activities including horseback riding,
kayaking and relaxing. We can even take excursions to other nearby
islands. We’ll be at Paradise Beach Hotel which enjoys the only
expanse of sandy beach on the island. They feature great rooms and
condos, with pool, restaurant and their own dive center.
Most of the dives are less than a five-minute boat ride from the beach
to an underwater wall. You will see so many varieties of fish! It’s
like having an aquarium right at our backyard! Check out their web site
