Loves Park Scuba’s Top 5 Land Excursions in Roatán
Explore Roatán Beyond the Reef
Roatán is famous for world-class scuba diving, but there is much more to experience above the water. If you're spending the week diving with us at CoCo View Resort, these are five land adventures we recommend for experiencing the island’s culture, wildlife, scenery, and local character.
1. East End, Punta Gorda & Mangrove Tour
Our Top Pick for Discovering the Real Roatán
Approx. duration: 5–7 hours
Activity level: Easy to Moderate
Best for: Culture, photography, local history & adventurous travelers
Travel away from Roatán's busiest tourist areas and explore the quieter East End of the island.
One of the highlights is Punta Gorda, a community with deep Garifuna heritage. The Garifuna people have played an important role in the history and culture of the Bay Islands, and this is an opportunity to experience another side of Roatán through its people, food, music, and traditions.
Depending on the tour, the day can also include a boat ride through the mangrove channels, small coastal communities, scenic viewpoints, and local food.
Why Loves Park Scuba recommends it
Most of our week is dedicated to discovering Roatán underwater.
This excursion lets you discover Roatán itself.
You'll see parts of the island that many visitors never experience.
