Top Roatan Day Trips

This was a very well run excursion. Basically, it was divided into three separate phases: 1) Get dropped off at a monkey/bird preserve; expect to mingle with lots of other excursion groups but not in an overwhelming way 2) Gear up and ride the ATV side-by-side buggies; expect 40-ish minutes on a trail. Bring a change of clothes and towel because you will likely get quite muddy. They have outdoor group showers for after the ride. We all just rinsed off fully dressed in an attempt to get rid of so much mud. 3) Get dropped off at a resort that feels quite secluded from the rest of the cruise boat chaos. Arrange for a time for the guide to come back and pick you up to take you back. Easy access to a clean and beautiful pool as well as the ocean with a beautiful sandy beach. The communication from the host leading up to the event was very good. It's clear they've done this a lot and every element was very professional. This was one of if not the top highlight of our 7 day cruise with my family (wife and five kids ranging from 18 years old down to 9 years old). At one point during the buggy ride I had to hype up my 11 year old son that it was actually a great thing he was getting so muddy. The island had had a downpour just an hour before our ride, so we really got the muddiest we've ever been. But everyone seemed to love it. The buggies could use some work. Several of the engines kept shutting off during the ride. They were easy enough to restart, but some of them clearly need an overhaul or replaced. However, it wasn't so bad that it detracted from the overall experience. If you're considering this and on the fence, my recommendation is yes do this. It's a very unique 3x combo that I don't think you'll find anywhere else.

Fabulous day! Our guide, Sinthia, was very knowledgeable about the area and the history. We had our time at the beautiful San Simon Beach Resort before visiting the sloth, monkey park so the beach was less crowded, very smart on the part of Sinthia. After the beach we went to see the sloths and monkeys, so much fun! The whole family, ages 10-68 enjoyed the encounter with the monkeys. Highly recommend this excursion and specifically Sinthia!

Our tour guide Harley B took great care of us! He gave a lot of history of the island, and found us the perfect spot to snorkel when we were done checking out the island. If you're checking out Roatan for the first time, or have something specific you want to see, these tours are awesome!
