Beautiful and unspoiled, Roatán is a peaceful eco-tourist's dream just 30 miles off the coast of Honduras.

Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas
ARRIVES 8:00am – DEPARTS 6:00pm

Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian’s private Bahamian island—think powder-soft beaches, clear turquoise water, and an easygoing vibe that makes a perfect day in port. It’s an island where you can do as much or as little as you like: stretch out on wide sandy crescents, snap a photo on the shoreline swings, or float just offshore to spot colorful fish and the island’s underwater sculpture garden.

If you’re in the mood for action, you’ve got options. Zipline over the water for sweeping views, rev up a Wave Runner on a guided tour, or paddle a kayak along calm, bright-blue shallows.

Prefer wildlife? Book a stingray encounter or a short hop to meet the famous swimming pigs. When you’re ready to dial it down, grab island bites and a cold drink, or treat yourself to a quiet escape in Silver Cove’s private villas with their own beach and lagoon. However you spend it, Great Stirrup Cay serves up a full day of sun, sea, and smiles.
