Top Roatan Shore Excursions - page 21

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!
