Free Fun on Roatan

Most of our guests are traveling on a tight budget.  Even for the ones that aren't, everyone loves to have fun free!  Here are a few activities that you can enjoy without spending money:
1. ISoar rope swing in Half Moon Bay (West End): Karl the sub guy has put this sailboat in the water for everyone to enjoy at no charge.  There's a rope tied to the mast, so you can climb up the steps, swing out and jump into the water

2,  Early morning sunrise hike from Sandy Bay to Flowers Bay: this strenuous hike up to a beautiful viewpoint is well worth the workout!  At the top of the hill, there's a lovely lookout, and then you can make your way back down the other side, exiting by Gravel Bay, and then walk east (turning left) along the shoreline to wind up by the big Roatan sign.  One way takes about 1 1/2 hours.   

3.  Check out the dolphins from the outside of the enclosure: About a 20 min walk from the hostel, from the west Sandy Bay Beach, you can swim to the outside of the Anthony's Key dolphin enclosure (best early morning, or very late afternoon, when they aren't running any programs and there isn't boat traffic).  You can often catch the dolphins doing jumps in their enclosure, and if you've got your mask on, they're super curious and will usually swim by close to the netting to check you out

4. Snorkeling the coral reef: if you have your own snorkel gear, this activity is totally free (if you need gear, we have sets at the hostel for $5/day).  You can swim out from shore in Sandy Bay, about a 400 meter swim, to check out the incredible coral formations and marine life

5. Beach time: All beaches on the island are public assess, provided you can reach them without cutting through private property.  West Bay, West End, Sandy Bay and Camp Bay are all worth checking out, you just need to figure out your transportation to get to them.
