The beautiful island of Roatan is a small island that lies off the coast of its mainland country Honduras. It is the largest island in the Bay Islands and has clear water, great towns, beautiful beaches and everything else a tropical paradise could need. The cruise ships are a nice and easy way for people to do just that. As tourism increased, the number of ships visiting the area increased as well. Today, it is one of the best destinations in the Caribbean.
In this post, I will give you some ideas about how to spend your day on Roatan, whether you are looking to spend the day just enjoying the beach, exploring more of the island or some of the underwater world.
What to Do from the Ship
Ships that stay in Roatan will have access to everything vacationers could want from a vacation. They are minutes from the sandy beaches, shops, and places to dine on some local fare. Most of the cruise ships have a desk where you can book tours, such as jungle tours or diving and snorkeling tours. You can do everything from the boat that you would do if you were staying on the island.
Beach Day
Cruisers are made up of all types of people and some just like to soak up the sun in a different tropical port of call each day while on a cruise. If that is you then you are in luck because Mahogany Bay has its own beach. You can access the beach via a small bridge.
Scuba Diving
If you are scuba certified, there are great scuba diving opportunities in Roatan. As I mentioned, the island is surrounded by coral reefs and the waters are warm which makes it a perfect diving destination. Book your two-tank dive excursion with us and explore the underwater world of the western Caribbean.
OTHER THINGS TO DO
Local Eats
If an outdoor adventure is not a part of your vacation itinerary, then you can opt for some great local meals at the restaurants near the port. With a short walk to Eldon’s Supermarket, you will find the inside cafeteria that serves local dishes and island favorites. This choice is actually in the middle of Coxen Hole port, so you won’t be venturing far.
Ziplining
As one of the main excursions of Roatan island, ziplining is one of the best adventures you will have while docked here. You can ride on a high cable through a tropical forest for an unforgettable time. You will fly through the air and be able to see sights from a high vantage point for the best views around.
