In addition to the coral, prolific sponges, sea fans, and other gorgonians offer the snorkeler lush vistas filled with color and texture. The Bay Islands were originally part of British Honduras, and consequently have a culture much different than mainland Honduras. To better appreciate these distinctions, our program concludes with a two-night excursion to the Mayan archeological site and highland town of Copan.

Day 4: The marine biology of Fiji offers an incredible variety of fish, coral, and a profusion of invertebrates.
