Mangrove Eco Tour

Drift the island's secret green tunnels

1–1.5 hoursNature loversAll agesSlow travel
  • Still water and tangled mangrove roots under a green canopy
  • Two guests smiling in a small boat inside the mangrove tunnels
  • A couple seated in the bow of a boat under the mangrove canopy

Glide by small boat through Roatán's mangrove channels: shady green tunnels where herons stalk the shallows and the water turns to glass. It's the quiet, local side of the island most cruise visitors never see.

Your guide reads the mangroves like a book: keep your eyes out for seabirds, crabs, rays and juvenile fish in the nursery waters.

Highlights

  • Small-boat ride through mangrove tunnels
  • Birdlife and nursery-reef wildlife
  • Cool, shaded and calm. Great on hot days
