About Guanaja

buttonWelcome to the Bay Islands…

Guanaja, the eastern-most of the Bay Islands, has spectacular, wide-open beaches on its northern side, magnificent reef on all sides, and a population of quirky, English-speaking islanders.

Christopher Columbus christened what is today Guanaja as the "Island of Pines" when he landed here on his fourth and final voyage to the New World in 1502. Although there are a few patches of pine on Roatan, Guanaja is the only island whose vegetation is dominated by conifers. Michael Rock Peak (1,350 ft.) makes Guanaja the tallest of the Bay Islands, and this makes for incredible hiking and views of the Caribbean Sea. .

What makes Guanaja island special is its seclusion. There is only one small road on the island linking the towns of Mangrove Bight and Savannah Bight, so nearly all transportation is done over water. The majority of Guanaja's population (10,000) live on Bonacca Cay, about 300 meters off the main island.

Most of the island's upscale, dedicated dive resorts are located on isolated points around the island, which are accessible only by boat. This makes the Guanaja experience uniquely private and relaxing.

When it comes to activities, Guanaja has a lot to offer. The islands' 45 dive sites are known for healthy reefs, pinnacles and volcanic caverns, wrecks and the newly inaugurated Mestizo Reef.

The new dive site, called the Mestizo Reef, is located in 65ft of water and includes two life-size head-and-shoulder statues of Christopher Columbus and Lempira (local Indian chief), a partial shipwreck and is surrounded by genuine artifacts such as Spanish cannons, a 16th century bell and a number of vases and other objects from that period.

Other activities include hiking and exploring, kayaking, snorkeling, playing in enormous waterfalls, discovering ancient Mayan artifacts and relaxing...

We look foward to seeing you soon!
