Roatan Island is part of Honduras, set in the Caribbean Sea off the country’s north coast. It is known for beaches, coral reefs, clear water and access to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Cruise passengers often choose snorkelling, diving, beach clubs, boat trips or island tours. The port areas are geared towards cruise visitors. Still, excursions can give a wider sense of local communities, coastal roads and viewpoints. Roatan suits passengers who want a beach or reef-focused day, with warm water, tropical scenery and a more relaxed island feel than many larger Caribbean ports.
