Cruise Guest Information
This tour is a great option for cruise passengers arriving at Isla Tropicale (formerly Mahogany Bay Cruise Port) and the Port of Roatan in Coxen Hole. Pickup instructions are provided before your tour, and we schedule excursions to fit your time on the island.
The calm pace and scenic route make this a good choice for guests who want to see more of Roatan’s natural side without a strenuous activity or crowded beach stop.
What to Expect
Your tour begins with pickup from your cruise port, hotel, resort, Airbnb, vacation rental, or private home. Along the way, your local guide will share information about Roatan’s history, culture, and everyday island life.
You’ll travel through local communities and coastal areas before reaching the waterways. From there, you’ll board a small boat and slowly cruise through the mangrove tunnels, surrounded by calm water, shaded passages, and natural island scenery.
As you move through the mangroves, your guide will explain why these ecosystems are important to Roatan, including how they protect the shoreline, support marine life, and help sustain the reef. You may also see birds, fish, crabs, and other wildlife along the way.
After the boat ride, your guide will continue through more island highlights before returning you to your pickup location.
