Now here’s a little, poverty-stricken island. There are tremendously nice people in Roatan. I highly recommend grabbing an air-conditioned cab and just doing an island tour that gives you at least 2 hours for beach sitting and snorkeling. Again, don’t bother getting suckered into an NCL sponsored “beach day”. A cab ride to Half Moon Bay is all you need. The driver will even stay there as long as you want for no extra fee. Just be sure to snorkel. The reef is no more than 6 inches below the surface in some parts, and the fish are everywhere. Many people have kicked the reef and killed most of the coral, so the color isn’t as good as it could be, but the fish don’t seem to mind.
