About this trip

The moment you step onto the porch of your overwater bungalow and gaze off into the blue sea flanked by green hills of palms, you will understand why nature-seekers come to Roatan to get away from it all. 

 

Our home for the week is Anthony's Key Resort. An all-inclusive dive resort with pool, spa, full bar, and more. Don't let the word "resort" fool you. Here, there are no high rises with floors of cold, cookie cutter hotel rooms. Instead, there is a village of wooden bungalows cocooned in lush palms with adventure right outside your door. 

 

Below the waterline, the resort is hugged by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere. From the time you plunge into the warm life-filled salty sea, you will wish you had gills to stay forever.  It’s home to thick, vibrant coral, playful dolphins, and varied marine life. Those who want to see the ocean at night, can take a guided night snorkel in search of nocturnal creatures like octopuses!


The reef system here is fabulous for both snorkelers and divers on the same boat. Snorkelers can float over the shallow reef while divers can descend deeper along the reef wall.

 

Near the key is a place where participants will spend a few hours interacting with the resident dolphins including a free swim with the pod! You will be surrounded by dolphins that choose how they interact with you. You will feel their chirps and clicks vibrating through the water, and hear the buzzing sounds they make as they talk to each other! 

 

Topside, island tours will get you off property and introduce you to some of the local culture and sites like seaside towns and Maya Key. There will be visits to two different animal sanctuaries where will you will meet sloths and monkeys. A exciting adventure will be a thrilling zip line through the rainforest tree tops.

 

This fun-filled week also has time for rest and relaxation during your free time. Swing in a hammock on your oceanfront deck, and feel the sea breezes. Enjoy the use of paddle boards and kayaks. Visit the spa for a massage. 

 

This trip is open to women of all ages 18 years or older. Participants must know how to swim.


If you would like to SCUBA add the Certified SCUBA add-on at no extra cost. Rental gear is not included.

It was a sensational trip with 15 strong, capable and soul-searching women! Phenomenal outdoor experience in pristine wilderness that challenges your senses and creates an ethereal experience and bond with nature and great people. Highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience with fantastic guides and people! Lori is the best and it was fun to meet Kelly, too. The beauty, wildlife, fantastic food and new friendships were beyond fantastic. Some were out of their comfort zones, but Aggapah and Lori helped everyone adapt and learn new skills. The Aggapah staff was so much fun and could paddle and cook like no other. It was an adventure that I loved and hope to have more great adventures with Green Edventures.

Green Edventures has done it again!! This was a wonderful trip! Our trip leader, Lori, was organized and fun. The local guides were knowledgeable and cooked us delicious meals. Meeting women from all across the country and spending time with them learning about the history and land of Idaho was just what I needed after a busy few months. Thank you, Lori and Green Edventures. I can't wait to see what exciting trips you have planned for 2025!

The trip was absolutely fantastic! Everything went seamlessly, and when weather was an issue on a day, the group would pivot to another activity. Tara and Inga were fun and knowledgeable about all things Icelandic, so that was a bonus. Especially topics such as history and geography, and sharing their expertise -while driving to destinations - helped pass the time on the bus. I would highly recommend this travel company to any woman who wanted a fun edventure!

A trip that will make me smile for a life time. Organized, informative, great tour guide and host, pushed us to explore and learn about ourselves and Iceland. Women traveling were so much fun, easy to get along with and not afraid to be silly. Very comfortable traveling with women just met and everyone looked out for each other. Activities were designed for our abilities and if not comfortable, no pressure from our guides or other travelers. Always a way to be a part of the activity to make it work for you. Iceland was magical, mystical and a country worth a second visit for sure.

I went on an amazing trip with Tara to Baja, Mexico in 2020. This was a dream trip for me being a wildlife lover. It was incredible to be able to swim with whale sharks and sea lions and get up close with gray whales. Camping on the beach was amazing. We had a great group of women and everyone vibed well and all of the tour guides including Tara, Alex and Chabello were so fun, friendly and helpful every step of the way. The food was great at the campsite and at the restaurants we got to try. When our trip plans initially got derailed waiting on a negative Covid test and we had to get a different flight, Tara did everything in her power to accommodate us and make sure we got to enjoy every part of the trip, including setting us up with another whale shark swimming tour after we had missed the initial one with the group, and she spent time waiting for us to finish before leaving for the airport. I definitely recommend Green Edventures, especially the Baja Mexico trip!

I just returned from the Wisconsin Women's Tour and couldn't have asked for a better trip! For me, the amount and type of activity were perfect. Who know there was so much to discover practically in my own backyard?
