6 little deer live on the premises of Lands End Resort. Yes, they are native to the island. Like the deer in the Florida cays Roatan deer are small but very very pretty.

Each one of them has their own character and personality.

Happy little deer will lick you because they like the salt. Some even nibble but will not bite.



Please do not try to pet them.
Respect their choice to come close or stay off.

Avoid rapid movments. Bold deer will eat from your hand, shy deer will not stand and sniff from a few steps distance. To feed evenly throw bits over to shy deer. Otherwise only bold deer will eat. Don’t worry if sand gets on the food.

Wash your hands after contact with deer. They are no hygenic threat to you but that's what you do after petting a dog too, right?

Due to increasing human population, and construction, island deer have lost their habitat on the west end of the island. You can still find them in east Roatan and the island of Barbaretta.
But even there things are changing, and as everywhere they are hunted for meat or trophy.

Lands End is one of the few sanctuarys for island deer on the west end of Roatan.

We feed them dry food (horse and veal pellets), vegetables and bread.

You can feed our deer in the garden or on the beach. They will love: Bread, Potatoes, Avocado, Melon, Lettuce, Carrots, Flowers, Peppers.


They will refuse: Onions, Garlic, Eggs, Pinapple, Bacon, Sausage, Hot Chili, Alcohol.
