Pigeon Cays is rated one of the top snorkeling destinations in the world.  

The reason – its indescribable beauty and remoteness, its amazing abundance of marine life and the beauty of its undamaged coral reef.

The Cays consist of three tiny sand islets studded with palm trees and surrounded by reef.  It is located well beyond the remote eastern end of Roatan making it difficult for most people to get to. In fact, Pigeon Cays is one of those places where you have to have ideal weather to get to. This means low wind because it is quite literally out in the middle of nowhere, with no shelter from any surrounding land. If for weather reasons Pigeon Cays is not attainable we will fall back to snorkel two different spots In Port Royal which are also great.

A trip to Pigeon Cays requires a full day, starting out from Oakridge at or before 9AM. It is about a 3 hour sail to reach this destination. Along the way we will describe the east end of the island and its communities, have some snacks and refreshments and enjoy the sun. We can throw out the fishing lines and see if we can catch a nice fish!

Once there, we anchor on a sandy patch near the Cays. You can snorkel right from the yacht, or we can dinghy you to other snorkel spots nearby. The islands are not privately owned, so you can go ashore, explore and enjoy the beach.

If you are staying on the island for a vacation of a week or so, the best way to get to this fabulous destination is to be flexible in your plans so that we can pick the perfect day to go. If for some reason the weather forecast changes and there turns out to be too much wind to make Pigeon Cays comfortable, then we can easily make it to Port Royal or Helene. These are also very special out-of-the-way spots which few tourists (or even residents!) ever get to see.

Pigeon Cays  - a place where everyone says “Wow!”.
