About this experience

This tour includes pick-up from your cruise ship port, airport, or hotel room, as well as a narrated tour of the west side of the island on the way to one of the best beaches not only in Roatan but in Central America as recently rated. Once at the beach, following a short boat ride to the coral reef, we'll take you on a one hour snorkelling tour with all snorkel equipment included. If you are not comfortable swimming you can just relax on the boat and enjoy the sights surrounded by crystal clear blue waters of the Caribbean.

After the snorkel trip, we will bring you back to the beach so that you enjoy the rest of your day relaxing and basking in the sun.

The beach is equipped with clean washrooms and showers and beach chairs are provided. Just bring a towel and sun lotion. If you don't have them or forgot them on the cruise ship, no worries, you can purchase them from the local beach store.
