Living in paradise ain’t easy. My feet have big, deep, and possibly infected cuts from walking barefoot several miles a day.

Engineer and owner Dan Taylor has spared no expense to bring the decadence of truly luxurious living to the Bay Islands. It truly is a world away from the ordinary.

The offical website for SOL Excursions, an amazing community service-based adventure program in Roatan, Honduras, and Belize, is now online at www.solexcursions.com. Photos from these great adventures will be posted soon!
