The island is extremely easy to reach. The small but excellent Roatan international airport is serviced by direct flights from Houston and Newark (Continental), Miami (Taca) and Atlanta (Delta). Most flights arrive and depart at the weekend but please check the relevant websites for the latest schedules. There are also direct, non-stop charter flights from Italy (Milan), and Canada (Toronto).

Cocolobo is just a fifteen minutes taxi ride from the airport meaning you can be in the water for a relaxing afternoon swim or dive. The island is also served by frequent flights from the mainland (the smart new airport in La Ceiba, connects with the international airports in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula). There is also a twice-daily ferry from La Ceiba which takes around an hour and a half.
