And, you won't want to miss our underwater gardens. A drive toward the east end of the island never fails to thrill me. The first thing you'll notice is the islands' quaint architecture. Brightly-painted gingerbread trim, wide porches and abundant plants and flowers adorn almost every house. Divers can sample the island's wide variety of underwater attractions, from sea mounds to lava tubes, colorful shallow reefs and walls lushly draped in soft corals, and thrilling encounters with whale sharks, mantas, blue marlin and dolphins.
Locals are warm and friendly.
It's not unusual for a curious visitor to be invited for an afternoon's conversation on a shady porch. Ask me about Guanaja. I lived there for seven years and loved it. I still do. It's not like anything you've ever known.
