1. Capture the Magic with Family Photos by TKM Photography
Your time on Roatan is going to fly by—so why not make sure you have beautiful photos to remember it by? We specialize in laid-back, natural family photo sessions that capture genuine smiles, sandy toes, and those magical island moments. We actually make your family photos fun so that the experience adds to the trip. Whether it’s on the beach, in the water, or surrounded by palm trees, we’d love to help you freeze this chapter in time.

2. Explore the East End by Boat with Live Bait Tours
For a more off-the-beaten-path experience, head east with Live Bait Tours. Their boat trips are perfect for families who want to see Roatan’s more secluded spots—think quiet beaches searching for natural jade stones, calm snorkeling coves, mangrove tours, and even swimming with nurse sharks! It’s the best way to explore the island together and our number one thing to do when our friends and family visit.

3. Snorkel the Reefs with Roci Patrick Adventures
Formerly known as Roatan Coolest People Tours, Roci Patrick Adventures offers super fun snorkeling and fishing trips out of West End. They are amazing with kids, and as former dive masters, they always know the best spots on the reef every day—perfect for beginner and experienced snorkelers alike.

4. Visit Arch’s Iguana Farm
Get up close and personal with hundreds of friendly iguanas at Arch’s Iguana Farm, one of Roatan’s most beloved family attractions. There are also monkeys, parrots, and fish-feeding docks—kids absolutely love it (and let’s be honest, adults do too).

5. Experience Dolphins at Anthony’s Key Resort
Whether you just want to observe or dive right in, the dolphin experience at Anthony’s Key is truly magical. Educational, interactive, and memorable—this is one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments your family will be talking about long after the trip ends.

6. Zipline or Hike at South Shore Zipline
For adventure-loving families, South Shore Zipline is a must. Kids and adults alike can soar through the jungle canopy or take a peaceful nature hike to soak in Roatan’s lush landscape. The views are unbeatable and the staff is top-notch with safety and fun.

7. Go Horseback Riding at Luna Beach
Luna Beach Resort offers beautiful horseback rides along the shore and through gentle forest trails. It’s a calm and scenic activity the whole family can enjoy—especially those animal-loving kids.

8. Snorkel Right Off the Beach in West Bay
West Bay isn’t just known for its postcard-perfect beaches—it also offers fantastic shore snorkeling. No boat needed! Just walk into the clear water and swim out a few meters to see vibrant coral and colorful fish. Super easy and safe for little adventurers.

9. Try iSoar in West End
Looking for something totally unique? Head to iSoar in West End, where your kids will have a blast rope swinging off a repurposed sailboat into the sea. 

10. Unwind with a Beach Day at Camp Bay
Sometimes the best plan is no plan. Spend a chill day at Camp Bay, Roatan’s most peaceful public beach. It’s quiet, uncrowded, and perfect for families who just want to build sandcastles, read under a palm tree, and enjoy the slow pace of island life.
