Honduras is a
unique location; bordered to the south by the
Pacific Ocean
at the Gulf of
Fonseca, and to the north by the
Gulf of Honduras,
a large inlet of the
Caribbean Sea.
While Honduras has been well known to diving and snorkeling enthusiasts
for years, its recent surge in tourism has made it a more affordable
destination than in years past.
The reefs off the coast of Honduras offer
beautiful, varied, and fairly easy snorkeling opportunities with
visibility over 100 feet and calm seas that typically offer little or no
current.
If you’re
snorkeling Honduras, must see locations include the Bay Islands of
Roatan, Guanaja, Utila, Cayos Cachinos, Morat and Barbareta. Located 30
to 40 miles off the north shore, they are home to hard and soft corals,
lobster, moray eels, tropical fish, tube sponges, staghorn coral,
elkhorn coral, whale sharks, and eagle rays.
Each of the
many islands and coasts of Honduras offer a unique and rewarding
snorkeling experience. Exploring even just a few can make snorkeling
Honduras a trip to remember.
