We will be waiting right by the exit/entrance barrier of the terminal, up a gently sloped road. Our tour guides will wear company T-shirts and a sign in their hands for ease of identification. Don't worry if you are getting off the cruise ship late. We will wait as long as it takes for you.
Description
This tour includes pick-up from your cruise ship port, airport, or hotel room, as well as a narrated tour of the west side of the island on the way to one of the best beaches not only in Roatan but in Central America as recently rated. Once at the beach, following a short boat ride to the coral reef, we'll take you on a one hour snorkelling tour with all snorkel equipment included. If you are not comfortable swimming you can just relax on the boat and enjoy the sights surrounded by crystal clear blue waters of the Caribbean.
After the snorkel trip, we will bring you back to the beach so that you enjoy the rest of your day relaxing and basking in the sun.
The beach is equipped with clean washrooms and showers and beach chairs are provided. Just bring a towel and sun lotion. If you don't have them or forgot them on the cruise ship, no worries, you can purchase them from the local beach store.

JOSE NUMBER ONE
Absolutely worth every penny
Jose took us to west bay beach and afterwards snorkling. We got a boat and he drove us to a nice coral reef. We also got a private beach location with security and wifi so we didnt had to worry about anything!
Jose is the nicest and most entertaining guide we had so far!

The people were so...
The people were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed learning the history of the area. Our guide, Wilkey (spelling?), stayed with us and found us another boat out to snorkel again. The bartender made proper margaritas as well!

Ok for new snorkelers
It was OK. The driver was great. Gave a good insight into the island life. The snorkeling was a little disappointing. There was plenty of coral, just not much in the way of variety and number of fish. I had just come from Cozumel, where the sea life abounded. The beach area was adequate. There is a guard who watches your belongings. Overall, for a novice snorkeler it would be fine. But it was worth the price.

Great family excursion
Great experience. Spent about an hour snorkeling on the reef and another couple hours relaxing on the beach. Great food also and it was reasonably priced. Orie was our driver and he told us a lot of cool things about the island as we were driving around. He also waited the whole time and was ready to leave whenever we were.

Wonderful Roatan Excursion with an Amazing Guide, Joel!
We had a wonderful shore excursion in Roatan! A big part of that was our tour guide, Joel, who was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly caring, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the day. What really stood out was how much he shared about Roatan—its culture, history, and his own background—which made the experience feel much more personal and meaningful.
The snorkeling experience was well organized, and we were given close to an hour in the water, which felt like a good amount of time. The snorkeling guides were great and helpful throughout. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a lot of fish during our time in the water, but it was still an enjoyable experience.
The beach facilities were very nice, with comfortable beach chairs, showers, clean restrooms, and easy access to a restaurant and bar, which made relaxing afterward very convenient. There were also plenty of local vendors selling handmade/local items, which added to the authentic feel of the experience. We especially enjoyed having fresh tender coconut from one of the local vendors!
Overall, a very enjoyable and well-managed excursion, made even better by Joel’s warmth and hospitality.

Best Tour Guide and Experience!
My favorite cruise port of the trip! Michael was an EXCELLENT tour guide and host! I felt very safe with him. He knows the area like the back of his had and knew everyone in town. He picked us up promptly and told us that the day was ours to plan. We chose to start by going to a high viewpoint for photos then headed to the beach. Our snorkeling boat guide picked just the two of us up right on our beach and we got to snorkel for 1.5 hours. Our beach day was at Bananarama Resort. The beach was beautiful and not over crowded! A beach chair came with our day and we had access to their clean bathrooms and outdoor shower. We could order food and drinks from their restaurant bar. The shrimp tacos were incredible!! And be sure to get the Monkey Lala, Roatan’s signature drink! We let Michael know when we were ready to head back and he stopped by the rum cake shop for us to sample cakes and buy some souvenirs. We were back to port in plenty of time! Ask for Michael! He is a big part of why I think I would return to Roatan one day!

Perfect day!
Everything was perfect!
We were picked up directly from the ship and taken to a small speedboat. A young guide then took us out to sea. He attached the boat to a buoy, handed us the diver's fins and we went into the water. He showed us the most beautiful places underwater. We saw fish of all colors, corals of all shapes and beautiful big colorful shells.
After about an hour we went back by boat. On land, our driver was already waiting. He drove us to an absolute dream beach. We got a bracelet and then we could use the sun loungers in the shade under the palm trees, the toilets, the changing rooms and had very good WiFi. The driver stayed with us on the beach until we had to go back to the ship.
Everything was perfectly organized.
It was a wonderful day. Many thanks to the whole team.
