Top Roatan Shore Excursions - page 15

Our family took a shore excursion the previous day at another port that didn’t quite live up to our expectations. So we went into our day in Roatan with somewhat tempered expectations. Roatan Tucan Adventures quickly changed that. From the start, everything was easy. The directions for meeting our tour were clear, and even along the way, friendly locals helped point us in the right direction. Our tour guide, Tania, was fantastic. As we traveled around Roatan, she gave us a lot of interesting background and perspective about the island, its people and culture. She was incredibly knowledgeable, welcomed all of our questions and made the experience feel personal. We felt like we were actually getting to know a little bit about Roatan rather than simply being driven from one tourist attraction to another. One of our stops was at the eco park, where we were able to interact with monkeys, macaws and sloths and get some great pictures. We also visited the chocolate factory and rum company, which were both interesting, fun and, of course, tasty! We enjoyed them enough that we bought a few things to bring home with us. Our stop at West Bay Beach was another highlight. We had time to swim and enjoy the beautiful water while also watching some very creative local entrepreneurs making and selling drinks right from their kayaks in the ocean. We got a kick out of discovering that, yes, they even accept Apple Pay! Everything about the excursion exceeded our expectations. Tania was absolutely lovely and took great care of our family throughout the entire experience. She was friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to enjoy sharing her island with us. What started as a day we weren’t quite sure what to expect from ended up being one of the highlights of our cruise. We had a great time, learned a lot about Roatan and made some wonderful memories along the way. We highly recommend Roatan Tucan Adventures, and if you’re lucky enough to have Tania as your guide, you’re in great hands!

Overall a great experience. Only downfall was not getting to hold the sloths. However Rose our driver-tour guide was amazing. I would absolutely return to Roatan if she would drive us around again. Her love for her island was amazing and all the historical information she had was priceless. She was very accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we had an amazing experience. My only regret was not getting her contact information so that she could drive us around the next time we were in Roatan.

The resort was clean, the staff was very helpful and spoke English. The beach had white clean sands, with vendors selling fruits, massages and activities. Our driver Kenitza spoke English very well was polite and helpful. The price for what you get here is 100% worthwhile.

Our family absolutely loved the Roatán Anderson Zip Line and Monkey Tour! This was easily the most fun excursion of our trip so far. The zip lining was a blast, and getting up close with the monkeys and other animals made the experience even better. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made sure our family had a great time from start to finish. If you’re visiting Roatán and looking for an excursion that’s adventurous, fun, and great for the whole family, we highly recommend Anderson’s. Definitely one of the highlights of our vacation!

We had a great time in Roatan, Fernando was our driver and he was really great. He spoke English really well and offered a lot of insightful information about the island. I would recommend Victor Bodden and specifically Fernando if you ever find yourself in Roatan

Vincent was a fantastic, energetic tour guide. He provided us with a complete tour of the island, which we loved. We had plenty of opportunities for photos. We were able to interact with macaws and capuchin monkeys as well as several sloths. Although we weren’t able to hold the sloths, we were able to get really close and take photos with them. We then went to a chocolate factory and learned about the process from cocoa pods to chocolate bars. The chocolate was so good and we purchased mini bars in a variety of flavors. Our next stop was a rum factory for rum tasting. I wasn’t a fan of the rum, but it was a beautiful place which had what I considered to be one of the best views in all of Roatan. Vincent ended our tour with photos in front of the iconic Roatan sign. I highly recommend this tour and request Vincent!

Dauphas was the best. He we waiting for us when we got off the ship at Isla Tropical. He took us to see sloths and capuchins at AJ's, he took us to go on a tour of the mangrove tunnels, and took us to a local spot for lunch. Dauphus was explaining everything about the island to us between locations and even stopped to get us some cassava bread.

It was pouring rain that morning. Our driver pucked us up and we drive to the boats where after some time the rain slowed. By time we got out it had stopped. We had a wonderful day snorkeling and seeing the animals. What i wish i had done was bring a change of clothes because i was wet and uncomfortable in the animal park. Because of the rain delay we did not have time to enjoy the actual port because when we reyurned i was still wet and wanted to get back to the boat. Great experience, 16 yo granddaughter loved it!
