Snorkeling

Half Moon Bay, just steps from The Beach House, offers top-tier snorkeling in Roatán’s protected marine park—expect to spot rays, turtles, eels, lobsters, barracuda, and more (a lucky few even spot tarpon by The Dock Bar!).

Cost: Free! Bring your own gear, or borrow first‑come, first‑served Mares sets from The Beach House.

Guided tours: Join a local guide on a tour of the island’s best spots—starting at US $35 per person depending on location count.

Dolphin Encounters

There are various types of interaction with the dolphins.  You don’t need to be able to swim, and the activity can include people of all ages.  You will be taken to dolphin’s island, home to a large family of Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins.

Where:  Dolphin’s Island in Bailey’s lagoon (a short trip from The Beach House).

Cost:   Starting from $65 per person plus the cost of transportation

Deep Sea Submarine Adventure

Roatán hosts the world’s deepest tourist submarine experience. The “Idabel,” built and piloted by Karl Stanley, carries up to two passengers down beyond 600 m (700 ft+), offering a rare dive into pitch-black depths to observe bizarre deep-sea creatures, like six-gill sharks reddit.com.

Where: Half Moon Bay, just steps from The Beach House.

Cost: $600–$1,800 per hour, depending on depth reached axiomalpha.com.

Sailing & Cayos Cochinos

Charter a boat—choose from catamarans, fishing boats, or yachts—for half‑day, full‑day, or sunset trips. Most charters include food, drinks, and snorkeling gear.

Day sail to Port Royal on the island’s east side.

Trip to Cayos Cochinos (“Pig Islands”): explore vibrant reefs, snorkel, and visit the local Garifuna community.

Cost for Cayos: Starting at $225 per person; less for sunset cruises and shorter excursions.

Fishing

Roatán is well-known for its fishing and is home to one of the largest annual fishing tournaments in the world.  In addition to deep-sea fishing (wahoo, mahi-mahi and black fin tuna are frequently caught, and occasionally yellow fin tuna, blue marlin and sailfish are seen), flats fishing excursions are available for those more interested in bone fishing.

Where:  The deep waters offshore or the shallow “flats” located in various areas around the island.

Cost:  From $700 for half day.

Ziplining

See the island from a different perspective!

There are a number of options, most just a short ride from The Beach House.

Cost:  From $50 per person.

Mangrove Tours

Take a trip to the east side of the island (we recommend doing this in conjunction with an island tour), where you can jump on a panga and paddle through the mangroves, which provide a vitally important ecosystem for the island.

Where: Oak Ridge.

Cost: Roughly $30 per person; haggle for the best price (but keep in mind that this is how people make a living).

Golf at The Black Pearl

What: an 18-hole, par 72, 7200-yard championship golf course offering stunning vistas of the Caribbean from every hole (one of which features one of Dye’s signature island greens).  The Black Pearl includes a driving range and a putting green.

Where:  Pristine Bay.
