Roatan Pirates Bay -Free shuttle?

[loston815]

Hello!

 

We are not trying to spend a lot at this port and thought it would be a good opportunity for a beach day. But even taxis seems to cost 20 pp.

 

I found some old posts where people mentioned there was a free shuttle at the port going to Roatan Pirates Bay (10$ cover charge pp). Anyone know if they are still offering the free shuttles there?

 

Thanks!

I believe this is only available as a ship excursion now. A few years ago we paid $15 pp for the shuttle and use of the beach chairs and palapas.

Recent review on TA (Feb 2016) seems to indicate it's open to non-cruise excursion guests. In addition to $20 cab fare there's a $15 admission fee plus food and drink and the pirate ship wasn't open. No mention of cruise line excursions sounded fairly quiet. Website link wasn't working.

Interesting. RCI shows it as a ship excursion for $28 pp including one drink. Amazing. A ship tour that actually costs less than doing it on your own!

Thanks for the information everyone! Unfortunately, I don't think NCL even offers a beach day shore excursion.

 

I knew the free shuttle was too good to be true. :(

 

Does anyone know if I have to make a reservation for Fosters or Bananarama or will those vendors be around the pier? I don't like to commit to anything just yet.

 

Thanks in advance!
