OVERVIEW

Gain an understanding of Roatan’s natural wonders, wildlife and Garifuna culture before relaxing on the beach at a waterfront resort. Few adventures offer such diverse experiences. While cruising through French Harbour, you will learn about the many environment benefits of the mangroves that blanket the shore. Among them is providing shelter for water birds. You may spot species such as pink-breasted roseate terns in the mangroves, but you will enjoy a much closer look at Roatan’s fauna at a nearby animal sanctuary. Capuchin monkeys, tree-dwelling sloths and scarlet macaws are the star attractions as they are wildly entertaining to observe. The traditional dances and songs of the Garifuna people are also captivating as you will discover during a special performance at the Las Palmas resort. A tasting of casabe bread, which the Garifuna make from manioc roots, adds more cultural texture. Afterwards, feel free to relax however you please on the resort’s beach.
