3rd stop on the tour... Sherman Arch's Iguana Farm
kschatterbox Says: To see the Iguana's you must pay $5 per person. You can feed them with the tree leaves they give you. Here at the farm there is about 2700 roaming free Iguana's.Go past the huge area with Iguana's and you will see the water. Right there you might see a boy who is cutting up...

kschatterbox Says: I had to put the Monkeys on their own page.We went past all the other animals and went into this area with many trees. The monkeys were hiding in the trees. Our tour guide Victor had them come out by calling to them and feeding them sugar from sugar packets! Let me tell you...
Stop two.... Fantasy Island (resort) Part 1
kschatterbox Says: On a private, 15 acre island off the south shore of Roatan island, 8 miles from Roatan Airport. When we reached there, there was a armed guard who stops you before you cross the bridge to get onto the island. After driving over the bridge and through the place we stop and...
First stop on Island tour... Dixon Cove
kschatterbox Says: The first thing we saw (once we got past Coxen Hole), was two shipwrecks that are located in Dixon Cove. Both wrecks have been decaying here since the 1970s.The first ship got stuck in the Coral Reefs. When you get out to look at the ship and take your pictures you will...
klj&a Says: Although the sun was not out, we still had a great time at this beach and pratically had it all to ourselves.
klj&a Says: We ended up at this beach that was lined with small shops such as this one. We ended up renting fins and snorkels and walked a few yards to the ocean. We practically had the entire beach to ourselves.

kschatterbox Says: On our way to the restaurant we saw many free roaming chickens. And then we saw a guy carrying a chicken. Remember this as I tell the story.....We got to the restaurant and had to wait a bit before we got to order our food because it was packed! Victor our tour guide said...
TinKan Says: Bojangles Chicken is located just down from Casi Todo and next to the new gas station on the main road. "Fast food" chicken is the specialty.
lucyguajardo Says: Water taxis are cheap and fun option, but you have to wait for a while in the dock to be pick up....
Rent a car, take a water taxi or stay in the beach
lucyguajardo Says: The streets are not to good in Roatan, but is nice to drive arround to see the beauties of the Island.. Renting a car for one day is enought for a good tour. We rent one at Sandy Bay... i'm not too sure but was arround 50 dlls for 24 hours.

As with any tourist supported town you will find the prices go up and down depending on the status of the curise ships. If the ship is in the prices are higher and if out they are lower.
Try to avoid Coxen Hole when the ship is in as the town gets very busy and you will not see the real Coxen Hole but a feeding frenze all looking for the tourist $

kschatterbox Says: Watch out for the kids. My husband and I were almost robbed by a kid who was about the age of 8! He seperated us while we were shopping and he was asking me what was on the ship and all. I started to talk but I noticed that he kept looking over at my husband. Finally looking...
klj&a Says: As soon as you get into port, you will be bombarded by taxi drivers. Make sure you get a cab that only has a driver. You might want to do a quick once over the car before you get in. Our taxi had the wheel fall off. A member of our party and these kids on the side of the...
