A nice experience in spite of the weather!

The weather was gray and the water choppy. Our guide, Jorge modified the excursion. We toured the island making stops at the highest point, the chocolate factory and rum cake store. Because of the weather we did not get to the beach, but he did take us to a place where we got to go out on a small boat for a snorkeling experience. So, in spite of the slight rain and gray skies, we had an informative and enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Enrich your life, get to know a local guide, see beyond the typical tourist attractions on Roatan!

Alex, the owner of this company communicated with me on a regular basis in English. Lena was our driver and tour guide, a native of Roatan and a friendly and warm young mom. She had no problem with rearranging our tour to bypass most of the usual tourist spots and show us as much of Roatan as possible. As folks in our 70s with mobility issues she was always willing to lend physical assistance with patience and kindness. Her modern Ford SUV was super clean and comfortable, AC was really appreciated as it was hot and humid outside. She even taught my husband and I some Spanish, gracias. Lastly, I'd like to advise all tourists, don't be afraid to book with the locals, you will get a more local experience, help the economy and will gain more global experience. Tip generously if you can afford it!

Roatan Highlights and Infinity Bay made Accessible and Fun

Our tour to Infinity Beach Break was excellent. Our Driver and guide was Jimmy and he gave us an excellent tour of all the best beaches, a chocolate factory (with delicious treats) and Rum Cake and tasting before we got to Infinity Bay. When we arrived Jenna met us and help get us settled. We were a group of 6 seniors and 2 have mobility issues (wheelchair and walker). They were able to accommodate and assist us throughout the trip. Lunch at the resort was not included but amazing and the swim up bar an added bonus!!! Jimmy and Jenna made this tour for us and I would highly recommend it!!!!!!

Amazing snorkeling experience!

Beautiful water! We have snorkeled many places and this is the best we have experienced. We saw so many fish! Our guide, Mario, took care of us and treated us like family. Excellent communication prior to and during the trip. We did this excursion from a cruise port. This was perfect for all ages- we had a range of adventurous teenagers, a nervous 11 year old, and senior mother in law in the mix, and everyone enjoyed and participated! We learned a lot about the food, culture, people, and the island during this activity. Couldn’t have asked for a better day!
