Cayos Cochinos
Thirteen small coral islands inside a marine reserve, with a Garifuna fishing village and pristine coral reefs. A classic boat tour from Roatán.
Cayos Cochinos lies about 30 km south of Roatán. It consists of two small islands and more than a dozen sandbars, all designated as a marine protected area with excellent reef preservation. Boat tours usually include snorkeling, a stop at a small sandbar called Chachapolo, and coconut-milk grilled fish at the Garifuna fishing village. The protected area entry fee is about 10 USD. It is about an hour by speedboat from Roatán and must be booked as a tour.
