Roatan: East End Mangrove Tour

The mangrove canals on the east end of Roatan are considered by many as one of the most beautiful and exotic natural landmarks on the entire island. Their exact location is in the municipality of Santos Guardiola on Jonesville Point, on the south side of the island between Caribe Point and the seaside community of Jonesville, with the neighboring town of Oak Ridge further to the east. Your tour starts as you are picked up by your smiling guides at your hotel or resort/ cruise ship terminal (Mahogany Bay or Roatan Village). You will first be given historical facts about the island and local gossip. You will proceed to pass French Harbour you will move through the dense jungles and through sparsely populated local fishing villages. When you arrive at Oak Ridge you will explore the large fishing village where all the houses are built on stilts in the water. Oak Ridge was an important source of oak masts for pirate and merchant ships in the 1700s.
