What should I bring?

Casual and comfortable clothing is entirely appropriate for Roatan. If you want to bring something to wear out in the evenings, make sure it's cool and not too formal. The climate is warm year round, so the most you'll need is a light rain jacket, if even that.

What's the currency?

The national currency is the Lempira, which you may obtain once you enter the country. US dollars are also honored most places on the island, or are easy to exchange for Lempiras. Credit cards and traveller's checks in U.S. dollars are also widely accepted on the island. Cash advances in Lempiras are also available on your Visa, Mastercard, and American Express at banks on the island.

Do I need any shots before I come?

No special vaccinations will be needed before your visit to Roatan. The island does not have any problems with diseases or with the water, so you don't need to worry about special drugs before you come either. You may purchase mosquito repellent and sunscreen here, which are the most important "medicines" you'll need.

How do I get from the airport to West End?

Transportation from the airport by a cab to West End costs approximately $10.00 per person, depending on your cab driver. .
