My husband & I will be going to Roatan in March 2014 for the first time (whoo!) & will be staying in Sandy Bay. We are all about the snorkeling, but are there excursions or other things we don't want to miss out on while there? I've been researching Little French Key - seems divine! Please share if you've experienced something there you absolutely loved!

Little French Key is definitely a great day. Visit Frenchy's 44 and take their barge to Little French Key. Spend half an hour on the way to visit Arch's Iguana Farm (nearby). Some of the best snorkeling around the island is right off Sandy Bay Beach both east and West of Anthony's Key.

There's an American woman there who runs a great service "At Your Service" (she has a website by that name). She can help arrange or recommend any excursions. She doesn't charge for her services, we just tipped her. She can also help arrange any transportation, pick up groceries, get you checked into the airport quickly, etc. . We found her to be very helpful.

thanks, drummerdave & mad. We have actually contacted Little French Key to find out about their packages. So it's worth the $$ ?

We've done many Catamaran day excursions in the Caribbean but our favourite has been the Free Radical in Roatan (google them to get a link to their website. We've done two Cat days with them and will almost certainly do another one this February. They require a minimum of 6 people but you can express your interest with them and try to hook up with some others to make their minimums.

I haven't tried this yet but am looking forward to it in June:
