Get launched 20' in the air out into ocean.

Sometimes you just need to launch a friend 20' in the air out into the ocean.

Sometimes you just need to be launched 20' in the air out into the ocean.

Palapa Papas may be overrun with the newly wed, over fed, and nearly dead twice a week when the cruise ship comes to the island but the rest of the time it is a fantastic place to relax, enjoy a beer, and goof off with friends by launching them and being launched out into the ocean.

Getting there is as easy as getting to West End and walking west until you see the place on your right. Sometimes the bag can become a little deflated but there is an electric air pump on the dock to fill it back up.

The upper part of the reef which houses most of the canyons were carved by streams when sea level was mu...

Hike to & Jump off the Keyhole Rope Swing

Like many of the best experiences on Roatan the elusive Keyhole Rope Swing is a bit of a local "secret" with rumors abounding as to who built it, who paid for it (it is known that Karl covered half), who maintains it, when is the best time to go and of course: just where is it, exactly? Located on the windward side of the island between West End and West Bay, the Keyhole Rope swing is a wooden ...

Fish the West End of Roatan

The waters around Roatan and the Meso-American Reef are some of the healthiest fisheries in the Caribbean, full of big game fish, snapper, permit, and large schools of yellowfin, blackfin, and ahi tuna. Trolling, drift, and outrigger fishing are all excellent options along the West End particularly as you reach the western end of the island and a strong upwelling from the current makes for exce...
