Mangrove Tour
The East End of Roatan Island has so much to offer, from the famous Hole in the Wall restaurant to places where only the locals go, and you'll take it all in on a private Roatan excursion!
Departing from the pier on the South Shore of the island, you will make your way towards the East End. During the approximately 45-minute drive, you will hear of the island's colorful history which includes Indians, slaves, invaders, pirates, buried gold, and a charming blend of cultures, people, and languages. You may also see the wreck of ships along the coast.
Along the way to your Roatan excursion, you will pass by the fishing town of French Harbour and French Cay before driving up the mountainside. Here, a stop will be made for photos of this jungle island that measures only 35 miles long.
You will then arrive in Oakridge which, along with its neighbor Jonesville, will be two highlights of your tour. Here you will find a traditional Caribbean fishing village, where the buildings are constructed on stilts over the water, and shrimp and lobster fishing boats bob up and down nearby.
Boarding an authentic Cayuco (small motorized rowboat or canoe), your guide will navigate the boat through the mangrove canal dug many years ago to connect the harbors and bays so small boats could commute back and forth without going outside the reef. Your boat is part of the adventure. These are not deluxe boats but the authentic boats used by the locals every day. Today, some of the tunnels are barely wide enough for the small boats to get through, and wildlife can be heard and sometimes seen in the branches above.
After enjoying all the fun sightseeing, we'll make a stop at Good Island Taste restaurant near Politily Bight. It's renowned for its delicious burgers, fresh seafood, ice-cold local drinks, and amazing BBQ on weekends.
After returning back to the dock in Oakridge, you will re-board your transportation back to the pier, bringing with you many great memories of your Roatan experience.
