Roatan Shore Excursion Reviews
Popular Things to Do in Roatan
If you are over the bustling, tourist-centric cruise ports commonly found on Caribbean cruise itineraries, Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras with roughly 50,000 residents, might be just the change you're looking for. The pace on Roatan is slow and ultrarelaxing, especially on its beautiful, white-sand beaches. It's an excellent spot for diving and snorkeling shore excursions -- the coral reefs are truly amazing and its waters are home to a stunning array of sea life including whale sharks, barracudas, manta rays and sea turtles. Of course, in waters this welcoming, water sports are another great excursion option.
Honduras is located near the equator, but isn't quite as hot as some other destinations in this area. Keep in mind that summer in Honduras is actually winter in the U.S. (and vice versa). Daily rain isn't uncommon in Roatan. Spanish is the official language, but English is also widely spoken. Currency is the lempira, but U.S. dollars are accepted in many places.

10 Best Roatan Cruise Excursions (Roatan Family Tour Options!)
Do you have a cruise stop in Honduras? Part of the fun of planning a cruise is booking your Honduras shore excursions. I am excited to share with you some of the best Roatan cruise excursions available!
We recently went on Royal Carribeans Allure of the Seas and enjoyed a stop in Roatan Honduras. We were really excited to pick a few of the best shore excursions in Roatan Honduras.
We had a group of 22 so we decided to divide and conquer and try out a few of the cruise excursions Roatan had to offer.
We did a lot of research before our cruise, and what we found was in Honduras it was significantly cheaper to book with Viator compared to what the cruise line offered.
In this post, we are going to list the best excursions in Roatan! These Honduras excursions are fun and all have very high ratings. Some of the Roatan tours will include beach activities while others are focused on more adventurous excursions in Roatan.
Let's explore all of the best Roatan cruise excursions available!
If you want to save this information for later be sure to pin this to Pinterest.

Cruising to Hondarus
Before we jump into all of the fun cruise excursions Roatan has to offer we need to talk about the different Roatan cruise ports in Honduras.
Roatan has two cruise ports.
Mahagony Bay
Mahagony Bay is absolutely amazing! Carnival, Princess, and Holland America are the only cruise lines that have access to this port. The beaches are superior and it is included in your cruise price.
This might defeat the whole purpose of my post but you really do not need to book a Roatan cruise excursion if you are on those cruise lines, unless you want to do a zip-lining tour or something in the jungle. (Roatan has some of the best ziplining in the Caribbean!)
Towne Center at Port of Roatan
All other cruise lines come into Town Center Port (Coxen Hole). You will want to book a Roatan excursion. There isn't too much to do at the port itself.
Because we were on Royal Caribbean, we entered this port and made sure to book a Roatan excursion.
There are lots of fun things to do in Roatan and we are going to list out our top choices for fun Roatan Cruise excursions! Let's Go!
1. Honduras Zip Lining Tour
The number one Roatan shore excursion is ziplining! Wow, zipling in Honduras is fun! There are a lot of Honduras tour companies to choose from. We went with Anderson Company and had a fabulous time.
What Does this Roatan Excursion Include?
- Tour Company is a Short Walk Cruise from Port
- Beach Pass (Beach Chairs and Changing Room)
- Transportation with a Bilingual Driver
- Zip Line Equipment
Rating : 4.5 out of 5 Tour Length: 5 hours 30 minutes
Why choose this tour? Because is it so much cheaper than booking through the cruise line plus this tour includes 3 activities: Ziplining, monkey and sloth sanctuary, and a stop at the beach.
Everything is included, and there are no hidden fees! It also has Free Cancellation !
We did a ton of research and because we had a group of 22 we wanted to make sure we were getting the best price! This is the best price!
Our Review
We were really nervous that our 8-year-old old who is a little scared of heights would not enjoy this, but man were we wrong. He loved it. The guide made everyone feel comfortable and even got us doing flips! It was awesome! We had so much fun zipling in Honduras! I highly recommend booking a Zipline tour with the Anderson Company!
2. Roatan Snorkeling Excursions
Honduras has the best snorkeling I have ever experienced! Before I went on our cruise I had several people tell me that they loved snorkeling in Honduras even more than Hawaii!
Seriously, I didn't believe them at first but now I have to say that I agree! If you have read my blog, you know how much I love Hawaii!
The snorkeling in Honduras is unbelievable! I would 100% choose a Honduras snorkeling excursion unless I had little kids with me or those who are not strong swimmers. This might be one of the best Roatan cruise excursions available!
What Types of Roatan Snorkeling Excursion Tours are Available?
I am going to list out a few options, please note that all of these tours are highly rated and each offers a different experience.
- Roatan 3 Stop Snorkeling Adventure (5 out of 5 Stars)
- Kayak Harbor Adventure and Reef Snorkel (5 out of 5 Stars)
- Catamaran Tiki Snorkel (5 out of 5 Stars)
- Private Yacht Snorkeling Adventure (5 out of 5 Stars)
Rating: All of these tours are 5-star! Tour Length : All tours are around 3 hours.
Why choose these tours? Like I said before, the snorkeling is amazing in Honduras. All of these give you an option of transportation whether by car, kayak, or boat.
Some of these tours include beverages and snacks or even lunch. You will have to determine what sounds the best to you and then see what is included in each individual Roatan snorkeling excursion.
Our Roatan Excursion Review
Hands down the Roatan snorkeling excursion is worth it. I like that there were a few options with a price range that will fit every budget, especially if you are traveling in a large group.
I have never seen coral as big as in Honduras. It actually is a part of the second-largest barrier reef in the World. There is so much, which makes it an awesome habitat for colorful fish. I highly recommend a Roatan Cruise excursion snorkeling
3. Private Island Tours
There are private islands or keys all around the main island of Roatan. Some cruise lines actually have private islands that you can enjoy and book directly through the cruise line. This is a more expensive option for a Honduras shore excursion.
Through Royal Caribbean, we booked Maya Key which is a private island key Roatan cruise excursion. On other cruise lines, you can book Little French Key. Little French Key was hands down my father-in-law's favorite Roatan cruise excursion ever!
But you can save money and book a private island tour through Viator on Private Fantasy Island Beach.
All of these are great options. Do a little price comparison and see what works for you.
Rating : 5 out of 5 stars Tour Length: 5 hours
Why choose this tour? If you just want to relax Maya Key, Little French Key, or Fantasy Island Beach are the perfect place. They offer an all-inclusive island experience that includes lunch. The beach is nice and it is a great place to swim and snorkel.
Our Roatan Cruise Excursion Review
We loved going to Maya Key, The snorkeling was out of this world. You could bring your own gear but you did have to purchase a life vest to participate.
We walked all around Maya Key. There is an animal sanctuary, a pool, a nice beach, ancient ruins, and a gift shop on the key. It is a great place to relax and enjoy Honduras.
4. Monkey and Sloth Tours
Almost all the Honduras cruise shore excursions offer an animal experience.
There are monkeys, sloths, and lots of other exotic animals all over the island of Roatan. Everyone in our group of 22 had an opportunity for an animal encounter.
I enjoyed seeing all the animals but this is more of an “add-on to another tour” option however, you can book an animal encounter singular.
Rating: 5 Stars Tour Length: 2.5 to 6 depending on your tour.
Why choose these tours? If you are an animal lover and want to see some exotic animals this is for you. There are animal encounters included with almost all Roatan cruise excursions.
What Types of Animal Encounters Roatan Cruise Excursions Are Available?
- Daniel Johnson Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary
- Roatan Cruise Excursion Monkeys, Sloth and Snorkel Adventure (5 out of 5 Stars)
- Roatan Excursions: Zipline and Monkeys (5 out of 5 Stars)
- Private Island Tour and Monkeys
- Gumbalimba Preservation
I loved walking around and looking at all the animals. Some animal encounters will let you hold the animals. I did not want to, I was happy to watch them play in their cages.
There were lots of other animals besides monkeys at the location we went to. This is a must-do in Honduras!
5. Beach Excursion
Some beaches are better than others in Honduras.
We went to West Bay Taybana Beach. We knew going into our trip that this beach was going to be very crowded with lots of locals selling products. It was also dirty! It isn't the best beach but it was included on the zip line Roatan cruise excursion we booked.
If you are going to book one of the Honduras shore excursions to the beach just be aware that West Bay Taybana Beach might not live up to your expectations!
What do Roatan Beach Excursions Include?
- Transportation
- Beach Chairs
- Beach Umbrellas
I am going to recommend some of the best Roatan shore excursions for the beach below. My parents are avid cruisers so they have done pretty much every Honduras excursion. These are their recommendations.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Tour Length: 3 to 8 hours – these Roatan cruise excursions are flexible. You can stay as little of as long as your want.
Why Choose a Roatan beach excursion? The beach for the most part is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather and ocean. If your kids want to build a sand castle or if you want to swim in the ocean a beach day is perfect!
What Types of Beach Excursions Are Available?
- Beach Day Pass (Choose your Beach)
- Roatan Beach Beach at Infinity Resort
6. ATV Roatan Shore Excursions
How does riding ATVs through the jungle sound? Pretty cool huh! Honduras may be the most affordable location I have ever seen to do this type of tour.
A lot of the ATV Honduras tours include not only an ATV ride but also another activity. One thing I found is that if you book an ATV Honduras Tour you can get access to Mahagony Bay even if you did not arrive on Carnival, Princess, or Holland America.
What Does an ATV Tour Include?
- Safety Gear
There are a few tours I will recommend. Most of them will include other Honduras activities as well.
Rating: 4.5 and 5 out of 5 Tour Length: 1 to 6 hours
Why Choose an ATV Honduras Tour? This is an adventure! Riding ATVs through the jungle is pretty cool. There are paths all over the island.
We own a few ATVs so we know how fun they are. If you have never done anything like it before you are going to love it!
What Type of ATV Roatan Cruise Excursions are There?
- ATV, Zip-Line, Sloth, and Beach Tour
- ATV and Beach Time
- ATV and Beach (Cheaper Option)
7. Chocolate and Rum Factory Tour
Chocolate? Rum? Honduras has it all. Actually, you can book a Honduras tour of a few factories.
My father-in-law jumped on this opportunity and had a fantastic time. On the West End of the Island of Roatan are two factories to tour. You can also take a chocolate-making class.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Tour Length: 3-5 hours
Why Choose This Tour? If you love chocolate or rum this is a great option. This is a great tour if zip lining is not calling your name and hanging out at the beach is not very high on your list. Although you will have the option on this Roatan cruise excursion.
Type of Food Roatan Shore Excursions Are Available?
- Chocolate Making Class
- Beach, Chocolate and Rum Tour
- West Side Roatan Tour with Chocolate Factory
8. Roatan Horseback Riding Tour
Horseback riding on the beach? I think YES!
If you want to have access to Mahagony Bay you can book a horseback ride on the bay. They will pick you up from the Town Center (Coxen Hole) Port.
This is the most beautiful part of the island so you are in for a treat!
Rating: 4.5 -5 out of 5 Tour Length: 1-5 hours depending on the tour.
Why Choose This Tour? I love horseback riding! The prices in Honduras are a lot lower than in the US for horseback riding. Riding on the beach sounds magical. I am sold! Next time this will be on my list!
Type of Horseback Riding Honduras Tours
- Horseback Ride on Mahogany Bay
- Horseback Ride, Sloth, Beach
- Horseback Ride in Roatan
9. Catamaran or Boat Rides
You can not go wrong with a Catamaran Honduras cruise excursion. Like, I said earlier Honduras is near the second-largest barrier reef in the World making it a perfect place to explore.
Jumping on a boat and exploring what is under the water is a great idea. A lot of these Roatan excursions come with food and drinks. Hanging out on the catamaran is pretty fun!
Rating: 4.5 and 5 out of 5 Tour Length: 3 hours
Why Choose This Roatan Cruise Excursion? You can not go wrong with this option! Exploring the island from the sea is a great way to relax and enjoy your time in Honduras.
Best Excursions in Roatan for Catamarans
- Catamaran Snorkel Adventure
- Catamaran Party Boat
- Catamaran for Cruisers
10. Scuba Roatan Shore Excursions

There are lots of levels and options for Roatan cruise excursions for scuba diving in Honduras.
What is Included in a Scuba Diving Roatan Cruise Port Excursion?
- Diving Equipment
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Tour Length: 3-4 hours

It is a perfect place to scuba dive and explore the ocean!

Roatan excursions & cruise tours.
Located between the island of Guanaja and the island of Utila is Roatan, the biggest of all the Honduras Bay Islands and known for housing the second-largest coral reef in the entire world. Roatan is a tropical paradise that offers a wide range of exciting excursions and activities for travelers to enjoy. If you're planning a trip to this stunning destination, Shore Excursions Group is your go-to source for discovering the best Roatan excursions and packages.
Adrenaline-Packed Adventure
For those looking for a more adrenaline-packed adventure tour, zip-lining through the lush jungles of Roatan is a must. Our Roatan Zip and Splash Beach Break package allows you to soar through the canopy while taking in stunning views of the island's landscape. After zip-lining for 50 to 70 minutes, we'll drive you to the beach, where you can splash in the sea at nearby West Bay.
If you're not a fan of heights, there are plenty of other options, such as kayaking, paddle boarding, scuba diving, and exploring the island's rugged terrain on horseback.
Experience Roatan Culture
If you're interested in learning more about Honduran culture and the history of Roatan, Shore Excursions Group has a variety of options to choose from. You can visit local towns and markets to shop for souvenirs or sample local cuisine or take a tour of the island's key historical landmarks and museums.
The Roatan Island Tour is very popular among cruise ship goers. This Roatan excursion takes you on a journey through the island's history and culture, visiting the East and West Ends of Roatan. You'll learn about the island's past and see its beautiful views. You'll visit the tourist side of the island, with time to explore and purchase a drink. The excursion ends with a photo stop at a lookout point before returning to the pier in Coxen Hole.
Sensational Water Sports
One of the top excursions that Shore Excursions Group offers is a snorkeling adventure at the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. This is the second-largest reef system in the world and is home to a plethora of marine life. Snorkeling at the reef allows you to witness the stunning underwater world and swim with tropical fish, rays, and even sea turtles. Try our popular Reef Snorkel by Boat excursion and experience the aquatic wonders of Roatan.
Relaxing Island Escapes
Our Eco Walk and Beach Break excursion provides many Instagram worthy opportunities. It includes a relaxing walk through the island's lush jungle, featuring suspension bridges with amazing views, tropical flowers, and wildlife. Catch a glimpse of the endangered yellow-naped parrot, freel-flying scarlet macaws, or adorable spider monkeys and three-toed sloths. The tour lasts about 40 minutes and covers approximately one mile. Then, you will drive to the popular West Bay beach to swim, rent snorkel gear, or relax under a palm tree. The excursion ends with a drive back to the cruise pier.
For those seeking a little R&R, the spa experiences in the jungle are sure to put your mind and body at ease. Our Roatan Resort and Spa package offers a custom 60-minute massage from a spa therapist that includes: a light body brush, oils to exfoliate your skin, botanical body masque, and of course, a full-body massage. Travel to the resort and access to its complimentary amenities are included. There is no shortage of ways to relax on this dreamy Caribbean island.
Roatan Private Tours
Curious cruise travelers will delight in the Glass-Bottomed Boat excursions along the coral reef, where you can discover the exquisite marine life that lies beneath the surface. The Mangrove Tour is also perfect for escaping the crowds, traveling to a small, secret canal through a system of mangrove trees on a small boat where you have a chance to discover and meet native people to Roatan still uncontaminated by the modern world today.
In addition to the exciting excursions and packages, Shore Excursions Group provides hassle-free booking and cruise port transportation to and from the excursion sites. Their experienced guides and staff ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience, allowing you to focus on making unforgettable memories.
Travel is the best way to learn about the world, and our excursions make it easy to get to the heart of Roatan. We know it’s the little things that will make your tour special, and our passion lies in getting the details right. Each of our itineraries are handcrafted by our team of travel experts to provide an exciting and memorable experience from the moment you are greeted by your Tour Guide until you return to your cruise.

35 reviews. 40 helpful votes. 2. Re: Best Royal Caribbean excursion in Roatan, snorkel. 6 years ago. We did the Shipwreck Snorkel and Beach off Royal Caribbean from Fantasy Island. It was a good half day tour which left time to hire a taxi and take us around the island. However we snorkel a lot and this isn't your 15 minute catamaran snorkel.

We have been to 6 western Caribbean cruises and Roatan is our favorite destination. It's either the Little French Key with an animal park add-on or a resort on West Bay Beach with an animal park or zipline add-on. Discover Roatan Excursions & Tours offers customers the opportunity to customize the activities.
The Royal Monkey/Sloth tours are likely the cheapest Royal excursion you'll ever take and it is very favorably priced to what you can do something similarly. IMO, it's really a no brainer; go with Royal. The sloth thing is cool and quintessential "I Cruised To Roatan" and perhaps quintessential "I've cruised Royal Caribbean a lot".
