Do you want to see the Mesoamerican reef, the second largest reef in the world, without getting wet? This is the excursion for you! Come enjoy a first hand experience of Roatan’s marine life. You will see different species of fish like parrot fish, angel fish, moray eels, turtles, shrimp, and many more.
First, we meet you at port exit gate. Meeting time is 1 hour after cruise docking time(If you booked a private excursion, you can disembark earlier or later. We are there as soon as you ship docks). You will head to the exit gate and look for the Explore Roatan sign.
Our first stop will be “The View” at Coxen Hole. Here you will have a chance to take photos with a magnificent panoramic view as your backdrop. You will also get some time to browse at the different local souvenir stands.
Our second stop is the Glass-bottom boat. Dive into these outstandingly clear waters were your visibility is normally 200 ft around you. Visit the breathtaking shallow reefs located a few minutes boat ride away from shore. During your glass-bottom boat experience, you will be guided by a bilingual tour guide, teaching you about our pristine reefs.
Soon after, we are headed to “The Chocolate Factory”, where you are getting free samples of several artisanal chocolate flavors. Then we are headed to West End village, which is Roatan’s busiest avenue.
Get ready to get blown away by the ocean view at “The Rum Company”. Here you will find over 50 Rum flavors as well as many Rum Cake options.
You can always add beach break ($15 US PP) or Sloth Encounter ($15 US PP) to your excursion. You will see this add-on option once you start the booking process.
After all the fun, we head back to the ship. We guarantee to have you there at least 2 hours prior to ship departure time. Explore Roatan’s main goal is to do their best to guarantee your satisfaction.
Because of Covid we started offering our customers the option of making their excursion a private one for $10 US extra PP. This means you won’t be sharing a ride with another group. Our customers love this because they enjoy the excursion at their own pace and don’t feel rushed. You will see this add-on option once you start the booking process.
