Though starfish are, well, the stars of a Starfish Bay excursion, the ride out is a treat unto itself, with wide-open views of the lush Honduran coast. On arrival at the floating platform that will serve as your base for the next hour, you’ll find sea-star-filled shallows that are perfect for snorkeling. And if you so choose, you can hold these beautiful, bright-red sea dwellers—very gently.
