Honduras's The Bay Islands
The Bay Islands
While Honduras is undoubtedly teeming with natural treasures - biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife refugees to name a few - the Bay Islands are a wonder all their own. Yet, it is not above the surface where one must look to find the treasures of the Islands, rather, it is below the crystal turquoise blue that The Bay Islands shine in all their glory, where scuba divers unite in the breathtaking wonderland for which these gems are known.
Comprised of the three Islas de la Bahia, Roatan, Utila and Guanaja, the Bay Islands lie along the southern end of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second longest coral reef in the world. Here, fortunate divers will discover vibrant coral, massive sponges, brilliantly painted fish, graceful manta rays, lumbering sea turtles and fluid whale sharks. For anyone charmed by many riches of the ocean blue, this is your playground.
