What is not Included
Towel
Food & drinks are not included in this package, luckily there are several restaurants and bars nearby. Ask your guide about their favorite spots.
Can we swim with the dolphins?
This tour does not include entry into the dolphin sanctuary. Our boat has a great vantage point from where you’ll be able to see and photograph these majestic animals, but sadly you will not be able to touch or swim with them.
How long will the mangrove ride last?
Depending on the wind and currents that day, the mangrove excursion will last between 45 minutes to over an hour.
Will I be able to swim near the mangroves?
The mangroves are Roatan’s protective barrier for young creatures, while beautiful to look at, it is best left untouched. Also, the sand near the mangroves is very unpleasant, so it is better to look, but not touch.
Can I feed the fish?
No. Feeding wild wish can alter their natural eating habits and make them dependent on human beings.
