Destination Information

Roatán, located between the islands of Útila and Guanaja ( [show location on an interactive map] 16.34° N 86.33° W), is the largest of Honduras' Bay Islands. The island was formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan. It is approximately 60 kilometres long, and less than 8 kilometres wide at its widest point.

While tourism has strongly contributed towards the economic development of the island, it has also altered Roatán's ecosystem. Land clearing for the construction of residential areas, as well as improper sewage and garbage disposal methods, have inflicted considerable damage to the island in a time span of less than a decade.

Several efforts by environmental organizations have helped to reduce the adverse environmental impacts. Still, the long-term success of these efforts is uncertain. Enforceable regulation has ruled an embargo on the importation of plastic containers into the Bay Islands of Honduras.
