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 on Roatán to enjoy a panoramic view of your cruise ship. Next, we'll visit a green area, where a local guide will tell us about the different plants, flowers, and animal species that inhabit Roatán, such as the agouti (guatusa), iguanas, scarlet macaws, monkeys, sloths, butterflies, and more. It will be an amazing hike with trails, a suspension bridge, and Mayan sculptures.
Afterwards, we'll head to the always interesting West End area. This is home to the famous Chocolate Factory, but it is also where locals and tourists mingle, and where you'll find everything from local fishermen to expats who have made Roatán their new home. It's an ideal place to shop, 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 make the most of it. 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 spots for a quick photo stop.
To avoid any stress, we'll take you back to your cruise ship at least two hours before departure.
