Flamingo Cultural Center Roatan Delightful place We were driving around the island and had heard to stop in to Punta Gorda for history about the Garifuna people. The Flamingo Cultural Center was a great stop! Audrey took time to talk with us and answer our questions and show us a video too. Take the time to pop in!

We only had a short time in port available before a previously planned excursion but really wanted an opportunity to see sloths and monkeys. Ashley (the owner) arranged for a driver to pick us up as soon as we docked. It turned out to be her grandfather, who was very enjoyable to talk with and gave us a lot of information about their country along the way. He waited on us and drove us back to port when we were done. It is a small park, basically in her backyard. Each species was in their separate walk-in enclosure and had an employee stationed at each one. They took small groups in at a time and were very knowledgeable about the animals. We were able to spend quite a lot of time with the wildlife, consisting of Guinea pigs, sloths, 2 kinds of birds, and white faced monkeys. Be prepared, the monkeys jump all over you and are quite mischievous pulling hair bands out of your hair or anything they can find on you! Quite the opposite of the sloths. We absolutely loved it!
4. West Bay Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,326 reviews
West Bay is what many consider the picture-perfect Caribbean destination: white sand, clear, calm waters and full service resorts. The variety of water activities include scuba diving, fishing charters, snorkeling and parasailing. Scuba diving and other outfitters leave directly from the beach so starting your water-based activities is easy and convenient.

5. Carambola Botanical Gardens & Trails
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 322 reviews
The 100% natural 40 acres of the Carambola Botanical Gardens and their many jungle trails offer a perfect place for hiking, wildlife and scenic photography, eco tours, bird watching, nature studies, and of course, relaxation. So, "take a walk on the wild side" and watch the playful Monkey La La scurry along jungle trails as you enjoy flowering plants, orchids, medicinal plants, exotic spices, fruit and nut trees, including the very popular "Chocolate Tree" and the world famous Honduran mahogany tree.

We love this place but wish it had frequent visitors discounts. We love the hikes and the information on the plants we see around Roatan.
6. Copan Ruinas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,650 reviews
Copan Ruinas valley of Kings, Sacred Valley of the Red Scarlet Macaw. Copan Ruinas is an ancient city in the Mayan Empire. Located in western Honduras at just under 10 minutes from the border with Guatemala el Florido. More than 138,000 visitors came here in 2017, the lowest in years but with a slight increase in traffic in comparison to 2015. Many agree the bad condition of the road plays an important role to this lack of traffic. Hopefully in 2018 will be better.

This wonderful museum in a beautiful historic building in the heart of Tegucigalpa is a must see for anyone visiting. The building alone is worth the visit, but be certain to spend some time in the inviting and informative expositions. And definitely stop by the gift shop on the way out... wonderful finds.

About a 5-7 minute boat ride from the ship's pier in Roatan to the private island beach of Maya Key. Nice little beach area to sunbathe, or just relax in the shade, splash a bit in the waters, or other little excursions they have on the island, such as snorkeling, touring the rescued animals area and lunch is even included. They have a small gift shop, as well, but bring cash only! I enjoyed it!
