Roatán (Bay Islands), Honduras
ARRIVES 8:00am – DEPARTS 5:00pm
Beautiful and unspoiled, Roatán is a peaceful eco-tourist's dream just 30 miles off the coast of Honduras. Teeming with marine life and home to some of the best Pillar coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus) in the Caribbean, the pristine Honduran Reef is a diver's paradise, and the beauty of Tabyana Beach is a sight to see.
Scuba or snorkel the second biggest barrier reef in the world, cuddle with sloths at the Sloth Sanctuary, swim with sharks at Cara Cara, or hang with monkeys at the Carambola Botanical Gardens.

Costa Maya, Mexico

This coastal paradise in the Yucatan features stunning beaches with soft sand and blue skies. Travel to see ancient Mayan ruins in this region rich with archaeological sites. Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many of the lesser-known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan including Chacchoben and Kohunlich.
Or you can explore the Bacalar Lagoon, and snorkel among the reefs and mangroves of the Banco Chinchorro Biosphere Reserve.
DAY 6 — March 19 (thur)
Cozumel, Mexico
ARRIVES 7:00am – DEPARTS 5:00pm
A tropical paradise just off Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the island of Cozumel was once a bustling Mayan community. The island of Cozumel continues to be known for fishing, snorkeling, and diving. Despite the growth of tourism in recent years, the island and its only town, San Miguel, retain much of their original warmth and charm.
The Mayan city of Tulum is a favorite of Cozumel cruisers. A 45-minute ferry ride to Playa del Carmen and 45-minute bus ride to the ruins are worth the effort.
The only Mayan city built on the coast, Tulum offers spectacular ocean views and amazing ruins. A 2,500 foot long limestone wall surrounds three parts of the ancient city. This is a must for first-timers.
