Steep hike up the mountain, but view from top is well worth the effort. More

Very beautiful gardens and an enjoyable walk. Make sure to go to the end of the trail and get the perfect view. Ask for good directions though, the map isnt that great More

Beyond a doubt one of the greatest garden tours ever, one of the most beautiful places on the planet. The tour by Bill Brady is entertaining and informative and when you reach the top the views are breath taking and are beyond doubt the best on the island. Looking down at the Tri colored water the reef and Anthony's Kay.... More

The sign is small and hard to find but a good taxi driver should take you right to it. The owner gave us a tour of the place he built from scratch. Beautiful site, with hiking or walking trails, bridges, trees, flowers, spices, and more. Take the Mountain Trail for a fantastic look down at the seascape! Highly recommended for... More

This garden is across the road from Anthony's Key Resort, an easy walk. The owner/operator is wonderful as he explains various plants and answered questions about tropical jungle. There is a small gift shop of Roatan items. More

Visited the Botanical Gardens & Trails with friends, but we all found it very disappointing. There was no guide available (I gather they only have guides available for the larger tour groups) and the map provided little information and was not very accurate. Very few things were labelled so it was hard to know what we were looking at. Very... More

Red Sox Nation is everywhere. Our group of New Englanders visited Carambola in February and were greeted at the door by the owner in a battered Rex Sox cap, an owner who knew more about the team than we did and had NESN on his TV so he could watch every Red Sox game. Carambola is a delightful place. We... More

This was one of the stops we requested of 'Big Al" from Bodden Tours. It's across the road from Anthony's Key Resort Owners Bill & Irma Brady have done an incredible job growing and maintaining exotic plants & trees that give the visitor to Roatan an opportunity to see a wide variety of vegetation in close proximity to one another....

These gardens are built on a hillside; we hiked up to the top. The view from there is of Sandy Bay, mostly of Anthony's Key. Cruise ship tourists only see the lower part, but the guides give them more in depth information about the plants than we received going through on our own (so we listened to parts of their... More
