Roatan

Warm Caribbean waters with excellent diving, white sand beaches, and tropical sunsets are some of the attractions of the Bay Islands. Roatan’s major source of income is tourism, particularly because of SCUBA diving attractions. The underwater environment is rich and extensive with reefs surrounding the islands, often within swimming distance of the shore. Caves and caverns are a common feature, with a variety of sponge and the best collection of pillar coral.

The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 180 days before the cruise begins.

If you have ever dreamt of meeting a dolphin face-to-face, you won't want to miss this tour.

Departing from the pier, you will travel approximately 30 minutes to Anthony's Key Resort and Roatan's Institute for Marine Sciences. Upon arrival at the facility, it's a short boat ride over to Bailey's Key - home to the Institute's resident bottlenose dolphins. After a briefing by the staff, your experience of a lifetime will begin as you are led into the waist-deep waters of the surrounding ocean in small groups with your trainer, to reach your waiting dolphin. As you are introduced to your dolphin and learn all about their physiology, you will be allowed to touch and stroke this incredible animal. Next, you will be given the unforgettable opportunity of getting hugs and kisses from this friendly creature that brings smiles to the faces of everyone it interacts with.

All too soon, your amazing dolphin encounter comes to an end and you will be transported back over to the main grounds of Anthony's Key Resort. Once there, you will have approximately 45 minutes to change clothes and purchase photos and other souvenirs of your memorable experience before it's time to head back to your ship.

Please note: This tour requires moderate activity and participants should be able to step into and out of the boat as well as stand unassisted in waist-deep water. This tour is not available to guests who utilize a wheelchair or guests with mobility concerns. Flat, comfortable walking shoes or aqua socks; swim suits; towel; a change of clothing; sun caps; sunglasses and sunscreen are suggested.
