Diving & Fishing

Unique to the Bay Islands, a triple barrier reef makes for excellent diving in uncrowded conditions. Guanaja also boasts dramatic pinnacles and the Jado Trader, one of the largest wreck dives in the Bay Islands. If you want to do more than just look at the fish, you can also book deep-sea excursions in search of big game, or try your hand at superb bone fishing on the south shore reef flats.

Boat Charters

Because there are no roads on this island, hiring a boat is a must for exploring or snorkeling in secluded coves, or indulging in a romantic picnic on a deserted beach.

Hiking, Big Gully Falls & Acalan

Be sure to pack your hiking shoes so you won’t miss the many trails dotting Guanaja. While there are a number of waterfalls, Big Gully is the most idyllic. The stone face sports a ledge about a third of the way up where you can relax while being sluiced by the cool falling water ... a definite photo op! Speaking of stunning vistas, you can hike pine tree valleys, stroll scenic outlooks framing the Caribbean, and explore the glowing and deserted white sand beaches. Visit Acalan, a recently discovered ancient mystical Mayan site. Pack your hiking shoes ... and a camera!

Kayaking

Explore the exotic barrier reef on your personal kayak while a bilingual guide spins colorful tales about the history of this unusual island. Also ask him to show you the fascinating Soldado river.

Sea Life Encounters and Beaching

Visit Grahams Key for a one on-one-sea critter experience, and meet sea turtles, barracudas, stingrays and many tropical fish. For the romantics among you, plan a full day on the secluded Eden-like beaches on the west end of the island ... you may fall in love all over again!
