The experience begins with a warm welcome at the cruise ship port exit. We'll be waiting for you there with a “Mike Roa Tours” sign. Once the group is complete, we'll head to the highest point of Roatán to enjoy a panoramic view of your cruise ship. Next, we will visit a green area, where a local guide will tell us about the different plants, flowers, and species of animals that inhabit Roatán, including the agouti (guatusa), iguanas, guaras, monkeys, sloths, butterflies, and more. It will be an incredible hike with walking trails, a suspension bridge, and Mayan sculptures.
Afterwards, we'll head to the always interesting West End area. This is where the famous Chocolate Factory is located, but it's also where locals and tourists coexist, and where you'll find everything from local fishermen to expats who have made Roatán their new home. It's an ideal place to go shopping, take photos, and enjoy the beach.
From here, we'll take you to West Bay, where you'll find one of the best beaches in Central America. You can enjoy it for free or buy a day pass at a resort to enjoy it to the fullest. If you have your own snorkel mask, we recommend bringing it with you, as our beautiful coral reef is worth seeing up close, and you can access it from the beach.
The rum cakes and the Roatán sign are always good places for a short photo stop.
To avoid stress, we'll drop you off at your cruise ship at least two hours prior to departure.
