Carambola gardens

The 3.5 acres of gardens provide a relaxing stroll through a diverse collection of flowering plants, ferns, spices, fruit trees, hardwood trees and orchids. Trails lead up the pretty valley through the arid tropical forest, past the iguana wall, where iguanas and parrots breed, and up to the top of Carambola Mountain, where you can soak in the gorgeous colors of the coral reefs below and see all the way out to the island of Utila.
Price: $5 per person admission and $10 for a guided tour

Dolphin Dive

Eight divers at a time take a five minute boat ride to a shallow reef wall, accompanied by a dive guide, dolphin behaviorist and videographer. Divers spend 45 minutes observing, photographing and playing with the dolphins in the open ocean, in depths of up to 60' over a white sand bottom. Dives are unstructured, and the naturally curious dolphins are free to interact as they choose, often revealing complexities of their relationships and communication. Divers need a certification card to participate.
Price for 25 minutes: Dolphin Encounter $62 per person

Keep your eyes peeled for endangered Sea Turtles, huge yet graceful Spotted Eagle Rays, scary Barracuda's and much more.
Price for 50 minutes: $25 per person

Price: $40 for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending upon gait of the riders.

Iguana Farm

This quirky attraction is the home to over-hunted green iguanas that laze about in the trees. This out of the way site may not seem like much until the owners throw out a pile of vegetable leftovers on their driveway. Then suddenly dozens of iguanas descend from the trees to fight over the scraps. About 2,700 iguanas roam freely about the property!
Price: $8 per person

X-treme Charters day trip to Cayos Cochinos

There's nothing more relaxing than a day out on the boat! One of Extreme Charter's speed boats will whisk you over to a beautiful cluster of islands called Cayos Cochinos (Hog Islands) between here and the mainland. The trip takes about an hour. Once you arrive, you'll stop at Cochinos Grande to check into the marine park, and then stop at one of the many uninhabited cays for some sunning and snorkeling. The boat has an open bar, stocked with local beers, rum punch, soda and water. The next stop is a cay with a Garifuna village, with clusters of children, and fishermen slipping in and out of the shoreline in their dugout canoes. Enjoy a fresh fish lunch prepared by some local ladies.
Price: $150 per person (includes transportation, drinks, lunch, marine park)
