Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (RTB), Roatán

RTB to West End: one pre-booked taxi, 25–40 minutes for about 15 km (9.3 mi) — the risk is a late landing with no ride arranged and an unlit road.

Rules in force · 10Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua (CA-4) giv…Do not walk the main road after darkSand and broken paths
  • Central America ↗Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua (CA-4) give one shared entry allowance, usually 90 days in total; leaving for Belize, Costa Rica or Mexico and coming back does not always reset it — check with immigration before a long stay.
  • Central America ↗Cross land borders in daylight and early in the day; many posts close or empty of transport by late afternoon, and the approaches are where robberies happen.
  • Central America ↗Several borders charge entry, exit or municipal fees in US dollars (Belize exit, Nicaragua entry and exit, Honduras entry); carry small, clean US notes and ask for a receipt.
  • Honduras ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Honduras's migration authority or a Honduran consulate; the CA-4 agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua can make your permitted stay count across all four.
  • Honduras ↗Transit San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa by day and with pre-arranged transport; do not use public buses between cities.
  • Honduras ↗Do not travel to Gracias a Dios (La Mosquitia) except with a specialist operator; several governments advise against all travel there.
  • Bay Islands ↗Do not touch coral or take shells; check the safety record of any dive shop.
  • Roatán ↗Do not walk the main road after dark: it is unlit and has no pavement. Book a taxi or stay in the village where you sleep.
  • Roatán ↗Sand and broken paths: bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
  • Roatán ↗Do not touch coral or take shells: use reef-safe sunscreen and check the safety record of any dive shop.

Zero-brain vs precision

Daytime default
Pre-booked taxi or hotel pickup, straight to the door.
Precision
Taxi prices are zone-based and often quoted in US dollars; agree the price and the currency before you get in. Few taxis wait after the last arrivals (field-verify).

If it breaks

  • Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a pickup; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
  • Agree the price and the currency before you get in.
  • If no ride is available, sleep near the airport: do not walk the main road at night.
