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 filled with history and incredible wildlife and 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 more than 50 of the finest excursions and packages available on Roatan Island.

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 the canopy zipline experience, which lasts 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 or snorkeling the Blue Channel, 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. For chocolate lovers, a visit to Roatan’s very own chocolate factory is a must.

The Roatan Island Tour is very popular among cruise ship enthusiasts. 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 Animals and Snorkel combo 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 spend your beach day relaxing under a palm tree. The excursion offers round-trip transportation with a drive from the cruise pier to the destination and a drive back after the excursion ends.

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 Tours Highlights

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.

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

I know my family was so excited to scuba dive when we booked our cruise.  Royal Caribbean offers PADI certification onboard so when you arrive at the port you can be ready to go scuba dive. 

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

Why Choose this Scuba Diving Honduras Tour?   Roatan has the best diving in all of Honduras.  There are shipwrecks, coral gardens, and sand flats, and sharks.  

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

• Beginner Scuba Certification and Dive

Things to do at the Mahogany Bay Cruise Center

One of the reasons Roatan is such a popular destination for many cruise guests is that you can have a fun day without ever leaving the port area.

When your cruise ship arrives in the port of Roatan, the first thing you will see is the 20-acre welcome center. Here, you can shop for souvenirs, grab some food, or meet with your ship-sponsored Roatan cruise excursions.

1. Free Beach Day

If you are looking for a beach day, you can head to the beautiful Mahogany Bay Beach. This is a man-made beach, but offers a beautiful sandy bay, with white sand and decent snorkeling opportunities.

You can also play beach volleyball and enjoy water activities.

To get to the beach you have a free option and a paid option. The free option is walking along the nature trail to get to the beach.

Once there, you can take advantage of free lounge chairs and beach mats.

2. Ride a Magical Flying Chair

If you are looking for a fun way to get to the beach, be sure and upgrade to ride on a magical flying beach chair.

The Magical Flying Chair is a 10-minute ride that takes you 67 feet in the air above crystal-clear waters, over the treetops, and directly to the white sand beach.

The fee to ride the chair lift is $14 for adults, $8 for kids 4-12, and free for kids under 3. The fee allows a day pass with unlimited rides. Look for the pink building at the welcome center for lift tickets.

* You must be at least 32 inches tall to ride, and there is a 600-pound maximum weight per chair.

Once you are at Mahogany Beach you can relax with a massage.

If you would like to have a more intimate experience, there are 8 exclusive cabanas on a semi-private beach area. You can book these cabanas through the excursion department of your cruise line.

Things To Do From Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan

If you are like me, the first thing you want to do when visiting a popular port of call is to get the heck away from the cruise terminal!

I love to book with local tour operators whenever possible to explore local restaurants, and local culture, help support the local economy, and really escape the crowds.

Luckily, Roatan is the perfect place to get out and explore! If you book an excursion that is not affiliated with your cruise line it is a good idea to check reviews and do your research.

I use Trip Advisor to check reviews. I also book with companies I trust such as Shore Excursion Group , and Viator .

See Roatan Shore Excursions Here

When you book an excursion in Roatan with one of the local tour companies you’ll need to exit the cruise center to meet up with them.

To do this, walk through the main shopping area and out the gate. You’ll take a short walk down a hill and see all of the tour guides waiting for you.

They are allowed to drop you off in the cruise center though, so after your excursion, you’ll be able to hop right back on your cruise ship or do a bit of shopping.

So, if you do get away from the port and want to explore Roatan, these are some of the best things to do!

3. Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth hangout

This is one of the best excursions I have ever done, not just on Roatan, but in any of our travels!

My kids still talk about it, and I’ve booked numerous clients on excursions here, and they all name it as their favorite cruise day too!

If the idea of snuggling with a cuddly sloth, and playing with cheeky monkeys named after Jersey Shore actors sounds fun, you can read about our experience and get more information on Daniel Johnson by reading this post .
