Most of our guests find that there is no need for a car on Roatan. Taxis are abundant and affordable. If you do decide to rent a car, please be aware that the roads can be challenging. The main road is current undergoing improvements from the airport to Mud Hole and conditions are not the greatest. Similarly many of the side roads on the island are not paved and the roads on the East End of the island are in disrepair. The island is only 33 miles long and 3 miles wide, so it is easy to get around.
Sea Hunt Divers provides airport transfers for guests staying in one of our onsite studios or in one of our partner properties. If you are staying elsewhere on the island, we can arrange a taxi for you. Please contact us for more information. Our facilities are located at the end of West End Road which is not paved.
