Packing the right things makes your day in Roatan easier and more fun. Here is a simple checklist for cruise passengers getting ready for a shore excursion.
The essentials
- Your cruise card and a photo ID
- Some cash in small bills (US dollars are widely accepted) for snacks, drinks and tips
- Your phone with WhatsApp working, so you can reach your guide
- A small waterproof bag for your phone and cash
For the sun and the water
- Swimsuit (you can wear it under your clothes)
- Towel
- Reef-safe sunscreen to protect the coral
- Sunglasses and a hat
- A reusable water bottle
What to wear
Light, comfortable clothes work best because it is warm all year. For ATV, zipline or horseback tours, wear closed shoes or sandals with a back strap. Water shoes are a good idea for rocky beaches.
What you do not need
Snorkel gear and life vests are provided on our snorkel tours, so there is no need to pack your own. Leave valuables like jewelry on the ship.
One last tip
Write down your ship’s all-aboard time and share it with your guide. We plan every tour around it so you are back at the port with time to spare.
