Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
If you’re visiting Roatán, use the water taxis for quick hops (especially West End ↔ West Bay). They’re a common shared-boat option, you pay cash to the driver, and they’re usually cheaper than a private taxi—confirm the fare before you board and keep small bills (service can thin out after dark).
2
Heading to the Bay Islands from the mainland? Check the La Ceiba ↔ Roatán ferry schedule the day before (it can change with weather/season), and buy/confirm tickets early—popular sailings can sell out.
