Highly recommend
We were picked up close to where our ship docked. It was about an half hour drive to the west bay Beach where we waited for the boat. It was a semi-submersable, not a glass bottom boat. Regardless, we had a knowledgeable English speaking guide, a very helpful driver who returned us back to the ship so we had an excellent day. The view of the reef, fish and turtles was excellent. There were children on this excursion and they loved it too!

3rd party tour better than thru cruise line!
Most of all, don’t be worried about booking outside of cruise line. Anderson and Antony at the Anderson Tours business run a smooth operation. Personal attention was incredible. Ricardo, horseback tour guide and operator went above and beyond with quickly getting us on the trail, sharing local details, and was a fabulous iPhone photographer! The time in the bay was fun, and photos next to the ROATAN sign was a great surprise.
Antony’s personal service made this an unforgettable excursion. We really appreciated his friendliness, sharing more information about the island, managing personal request for shopping stops, and really being flexible to our schedule, getting us back to the port with plenty of time to spare.

Great experience
We had a great experience! I was very scared to be on a horse after a previous injury and the guides helped me the entire time. They made sure I was comfortable and all my family was taken care of. We enjoyed every aspect of the excursion!
One recommendation for those going into Roatan cruise port - know the name of the company you booked with BEFORE you step out of the gate.
Horse ride was great.
Beach was good - food expensive at the place they take you so plan accordingly or walk down the beach.
Chocolate and rum “tour” tasting was good and quick. Helped to see more of the island.
Our driver the entire time, Alan, was courteous and knowledgeable.

Great cruise excursion
We had a great time on this trip during our Royal Caribbean stop in Roatan. Raymond was our guide and he was fantastic. My husband, 6 year old and 4 year old loved the animal park where we were able to interact with the animals. We made quick stops at the chocolate and rum tastings to have more time at the beach and glass bottom boat. Raymond was knowledgeable about Roatan and was very accommodating to ensure our trip was a success. Definitely one of our favorite days on vacation.

Good navigator
We got the private vehicle with the man named rainy. He is so kind and cool. He recommend the delicious local food such as chocolate tequila and roast chicken👍.
Many things were new experiences which was the perfect day for us.

Ten Star Service
Myron was absolutely charming and was a great guide. The snorkling at the reef at West Bay Beach far exceeded our expectations. We could not have found our spot without Myron’s guidance. We were swimming right along side people who had paid $$ to get to the same spot, and we just waded out! We would definitely be repeat customers.

Best Tour Guide and Company
Our Tour guide Denzel was awesome.He was raised on the Island and was very informative. Took us to the Westend beach and the white sand and clear clam water was the best. He was on time at pick up spot and kept all the other away. Will definitely use them again if we stop there again.

Charming and unique
We enjoyed both the chocolate and rum factory stops. Each were fun and had their own local flavor, no pun intended. Best of all was our driver, a lovely Rohatan local who provided a great commentary about her home island

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!

Best day of our one week cruise
This day spent with Edgar from Anderson Tours which was horseback riding, visiting the monkey and other assorted animals, then the beach has been the highlight of our cruise in every way possible. This blows away anything offered via the cruise ships. I would highly recommend this trip and make sure you ask for Edgar to escort you for the day. He’s like your personal butler for the day. What a nice man.
