Motion Sickness

Generally speaking, the outbound ride from La Ceiba to Roatan is the bumpiest. The ferry travels against the wind and the waves, and this can make for a rough ride. The return trip, from Roatan to La Ceiba travels with the waves and is less choppy.

There are two offerings. You can purchase a standard ticket for what amounts to $65. First class tickets are priced at $75 dollars.

I recently used this ferry. The way up from La Ceiba to Roatan was brutal! I almost did not make it up to the mainland on a ferry…but I had already paid for the round trip, so I boarded again after a few days, and the return was surprisingly comfortably. Smooth sailing on the return trip.

FOOTNOTE: Be sure to take motion sickness pills well ahead of departure…read the instructions. Don’t expect to take a pill on the ferry and avoid getting sick.
