Local drivers collect you from the cruise gates, the airport or your hotel and talk you along the west coast on the way. Stay on the boat if swimming is not for you; the beach still has shallow water close to shore. 📌 Key Details Duration: 6.5 hours Pickup: Cruise port, airport, or hotel Group size: 1 to 15 Minimum age: 5 Snorkel: 1 hour, kit included 🤿 What to Expect After pickup, the drive follows the west coast with local commentary before you reach West Bay. A short boat ride takes you to the reef for a one-hour snorkel with mask, snorkel and fins provided. Anyone who would rather stay dry can remain on the boat and watch from the surface. Back on the sand, washrooms, showers and beach chairs are waiting, with time left to swim, sit in the sun, or browse the beach store. Bring a towel and sun lotion, or buy them on site if you left them on the ship. 📍 Location West Bay sits on the western shore of Roatan, with pale sand and shallow turquoise water that suits both snorkellers and people who simply want a beach day. The boat for the reef session leaves from the beach club, where chairs, washrooms and a small shop sit just behind the shoreline. Pickup is arranged at two cruise gates as well as hotels and the airport. At the Port of Roatan, meet at city exit gate one. At Mahogany Bay, leave via the taxi rank, turn left, walk up and over the hill wall, pass the large gate, then walk down the hill. Staff wait with a clearly marked pickup sign at both gates. ⚠️ Prerequisites No snorkel experience is required. Guides brief you before the boat leaves, and kit is fitted on the day. Comfort in the water helps if you plan to snorkel, but you can stay on the boat if swimming is not for you. Children from five years old are welcome. Ages five to eight are charged at half the adult rate. Closed-toe shoes are not needed for the beach, though water shoes can help on the boat steps. 🌱 Why Choose Us Drivers are local islanders who speak English and Spanish and have spent their lives on Roatan. The west-side run is paced for cruise schedules, with pickup at the gates rather than a long walk through the terminal. Reef time and beach time sit in one outing, so you are not choosing between the water and a chair. Equipment for the snorkel is in the package price, and the beach club has the basic facilities you nee… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Pickup from the cruise port, airport, or hotel Narrated west-side island transfer One-hour reef snorkel by boat Snorkel mask, tube and fins Beach chairs, washrooms and showers at West Bay ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if you are not at a listed pickup location Lunch, drinks and snacks Towel and sun lotion (available at the beach store) Souvenirs and optional water sports at the beach club Tips and personal travel insurance ### Kit list Swimwear Towel Sun lotion Cash for the beach store Light cover-up for the transfer ## FAQs ### Where do I meet the driver if I am coming off a cruise ship? Two gates are used, depending on where your ship docks. At the Port of Roatan, leave through city exit gate one. At Mahogany Bay, walk to the taxi rank, turn left, go up and over the hill wall, pass the large gate, then walk down the hill. Staff wait at both points with a clearly marked pickup sign. If you are staying on the island, pickup can also be arranged from your hotel or from the airport. Confirm your ship or hotel name when you book so the driver is in the right place. ### Is snorkel equipment provided? Yes. Mask, snorkel and fins are included in the package price for the one-hour reef session. You do not need to bring your own kit unless you prefer a familiar mask. If you have prescription lenses or a mask you already trust, you are welcome to use it. Fins and tubes are still available from the team if you only want to bring the mask. ### Do I have to snorkel if I am not a strong swimmer? No. The boat ride to the reef is part of the outing, and you can stay on board if you are not comfortable in the water. The briefing still covers how the session works so you know what the rest of the group is doing. West Bay itself is shallow near the sand, so many guests who skip the reef still paddle close to shore later. Tell the guide before you leave the beach if you plan to stay on the boat. ### How long is the snorkel session? The reef outing is about one hour, including the short boat ride from West Bay. Time in the water depends on conditions and how the group moves along the reef. The rest of the 6.5-hour day is the island transfer and unhurried beach time. You are not rushed off the sand as soon as the boat returns. ### What is waiting at West Bay after the snorkel? The beach club has washrooms, showers and chairs. A small store sells towels and sun lotion if you left yours on the ship. A restaurant sits on site if you want to buy food or drinks, which are not part of the package. Optional water sports at the club are paid separately and are not part of this outing. The included time is for the reef session, the chairs, and the facilities behind the sand. ### What should I bring? Pack swimwear, a towel, sun lotion, and a little cash for the beach store or a drink. A light cover-up is useful in the vehicle on the way to West Bay. Leave valuables you do not need on the ship or in the hotel safe. The beach has a shop if you forget the basics, but it is simpler to bring your own towel and lotion. ### Is this suitable for children? Children from five years old can join. Ages five to eight pay half the adult rate, and anyone eight and over pays the full rate. The reef session is paced for mixed groups rather than a long swim. Younger children who snorkel should be confident in the water with an adult close by. If they would rather stay on the boat or on the sand, that is fine. Confirm ages when you book so the team can plan the boat. ### What happens if the weather is poor or the ship cannot dock? The outing is mildly affected by weather. Reef time can be shortened or skipped if the sea is rough, with more of the day spent on the beach or on the west-side drive instead. If your ship cannot dock for any reason, you receive a full refund. Free cancellation also applies up to 24 hours before the start time under the Flexible policy. ### How large is the group? This product runs with a minimum of one guest and a maximum of 15. Pickup is shared with others on the same departure rather than a private car unless you have booked a different outing. The boat for the reef session is sized for the group on the day. If you are travelling with a larger party, ask at booking so the team can say whether you will be on one departure or split. ### Will I get back to the ship in time? The day is built around cruise calls, with pickup at the gates and a schedule that leaves time to return. Give your ship name and all-aboard time when you book so the driver can plan the last run. Traffic on the island can slow the drive, especially on busy port days. Stay with the group at West Bay rather than wandering off independently if you need to be back for sailaway. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/GOPR3422.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
