Best Time to Visit

Roatán has two seasons: wet and dry. The months with the most rain are October, November and December. Rains usually come in the afternoon and last an hour or so. Clouds might hinder your sun tanning efforts, but the forests and countryside are lusher during the rainy season. The least attractive month to visit Roatán is October, if we had to pick one. The driest months are April and May. Travel is easier during the dry season, especially if you are planning to scuba dive and go on excursions. As temperatures fall in the Northern hemisphere, tourists flock to Roatán. December and January are the busiest months, as travellers take their Christmas and New Year holidays. The island remains in heavy demand until the Easter holidays in August. If you plan to travel in these months, make sure to book far in advance. February and March are good months to visit. The holiday rush is not as bad and the weather is fairly stable and mild across the region. Hiking trails and roads are fairly dry but the plants are still lush. Everything taken into consideration, May and late August to September are ideal for visiting the island.
