When in need of some serious beach action, look no further than the Bay Islands (Islas de la Bahia), Honduras' foremost tourist |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
attraction. The chain of seventy or so islands, rising in a half moon above the Honduran north coast and ringed by sandy |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
beaches lapped by the tranquil, glassy waters of the Caribbean, offers world class yet cheap opportunities for scuba diving. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
How to get there? - TACA de Honduras is the national airline, although other airlines like Copa | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Airlines and American Airlines fly to and from the area. Continental Airlines has direct flights from Houston | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| and New York to Roatan on Saturdays. Delta Airlines has direct flights from Atlanta on Saturdays. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
When to dive? - The dry season (all months except June and July) is best. According to NOAA, the | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Atlantic Hurricane Season is officially June through November, however, this time period also has some | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| of the best diving conditions in the Caribbean with calm seas and warm waters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Currency - (Exchange Rate) - Honduras currency is called lempiras. Honduras money and exchange | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| rates fluctuate daily between the lempira and the dollar. Overall, the lempira has taken a beating against | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the US dollar (because of commodity prices and fiscal policy) in the year of 2007. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Where to Stay? - The 2 best places to stay at, if you are on Roatan Island, would be Turquoise Bay | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Resort, if you want a quiet ocean side view with a private beach, or at Lands End Resort if you want good | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| prices, and to be close to the bars and nightlife scene! Caribbean Travel Mag for more places of stay. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
