If you’re thinking about a trip that hits every note — from adventure to relaxation, luxury to local flavor — take it from us: Roatan and Rio Cangrejal are absolute gems.
Adventure in Rio Cangrejal:
This area is a hiker’s paradise. We explored lush rainforest trails, crossed suspension bridges, and soaked in panoramic views that honestly felt untouched. But the highlight? White-water rafting. The rapids on the Cangrejal River are no joke — thrilling, safe, and just the right amount of wild. We’re still buzzing from it.
And after all the action? We’d retreat to some of the most unique guest rooms we’ve ever experienced — each built into the natural surroundings, with local materials, open-air layouts, and thoughtful little touches that made it feel like we were truly living in the jungle (but with all the comforts we could want). Falling asleep to the sound of the river and waking up to toucans and misty mountains? Unreal.
Snorkeling:
We knew Roatan was near the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, but we were blown away by the snorkeling. Crystal-clear waters, thriving coral, and sea life everywhere — turtles, rays, schools of colorful fish. It rivaled anything we’ve seen in the Caribbean.
Special Thanks:
A huge shoutout and heartfelt thank-you to Jessica, who planned and organized this incredible trip for us. Every detail — from the stays to the adventures to the downtime — was perfectly tailored and seamless. None of this would’ve happened without her!
We came home sun-kissed, adrenaline-filled, and already planning our return. If you’re considering Roatan and Rio Cangrejal — stop thinking. Go. You’ll thank us later.cription goes here

Jessica introduced us to the wonderful world of Roatan and Rio Cangrejal before our adventure in January 2025. Having spent so much time in the area, Jess is the ideal guide to build your dream getaway. From start to finish, she provided excellent guidance, expansive ideas, and genuine enthusiasm. Jessica took care of all the details, from accommodations, to dining options, to varied tours and excursions. Jessica listened to what we were looking for, added her expertise and devised a fabulous adventure we will never forget. Jessica ensured that our trip included both the fun, lively, island life in the West End, as well as the idyllic, natural, adventurous life at Omega in Rio Cangrejal. I would highly recommend Jessica for any adventure you are planning.

Jess organized an unforgettable retreat to Honduras! We started with a stay on the island of Roatan in a stunning waterfront home featuring water views, beautiful nightly sunsets, and easy access to dozens of restaurants. Jess set us up with knowledgable guides for everything from exceptional snorkeling experiences (the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is a must snorkeling location) to Mangrove tunnel tours to a wildlife sanctuary visit where we got up close and personal with sloths, monkeys and gorgeous birds. Every detail was expertly handled by Jess. We continued our adventure with a two-day excursion to La Ceiba on mainland Honduras, where we stayed in the most charming jungle lodge on the Rio Cangregal. Jess made sure everything was handled, guiding us on transportation and activities. We loved reconnecting mind and body in this magical place where we enjoyed hiking, river-rafting and just existing amid the breathtaking wildlife and nature you really have to see to believe. This trip was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. We’re looking forward to having Jess plan our next Central American experience!

Jessica shared the magic of Roatan and put together experiences that hi-lighted all the island had to offer. We not only experienced the beauty of this barrier reef oasis but also were immersed in the culture and history. We fell in love with the laid back nature of the island people and the way we were treated by everyone we encountered. Snorkeling, deep sea fishing, the mangrove tour , the beaches , and the cultural tour made it a memorable experience. Jessica’s restaurant recommendations and her attention to every aspect of our trip was remarkable. We hope to return and often think of the special retreat Jessica created for us.
