Our verdict
This tour fits a typical Roatán call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 5 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:30 am and be back at the gangway around 1:40 pm — 1 h 50 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.
Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 2:40 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Isla Tropicale (formerly Mahogany Bay Cruise Center).
Among the 400 Roatán shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 4 h); 97% of them fit a typical call.
Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Roatán call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
About this tour
An amazing horseback riding experience in Roatan! Experience the mountain trail and do some horseback riding in the water and on Flower's Bay alongside the ocean. To make it even sweeter, we're going to visit West End Village and go inside the chocolate factory, rusty fish, waves of art gallery and more local shops! To end this awesome day, we're going to head to Paradise Beach Resort, one of the best resorts in Roatan in one of the TOP 25 beaches in the world according to Traveler's Choice Awards. Here you will have a Day Pass to use the beach chairs, wifi, showers, bathrooms and all the facilities.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Paradise Beach is going through some remodeling from January 7th through end of March, therefore, we are taking people to either Bananarama or Fosters in West Bay. We'll offer both option and you decide where to go!
