More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens on Roatán with the sea doing the work of a metronome: steady, insistent, and warm. Guests are collected from the cruise port or hotel and driven through low, tropical hills where palms and mango trees edge the road. The tour stops first at a small chocolate workshop where cacao’s journey from bean to bar is explained—fermentation, drying, roasting—and visitors can taste single-origin bars flavored locally.
