Book it !!!
We had a wonderful time with our guide Kessie! She was an absolute joy to spend our time with. Very informative and patient with our constant questions about her life on Roatan and the culture as well as details of the different areas on the island. The monkey/sloth/mccaw center was a really great experience and the gentleman who took us around the facility was fun and highly informative….we learned a lot! The chocolate and rum samples were delicious and we went back to our ship with lots of treats ! The tour was great and was less than half the charge of an excursion booked on the ship. Take this tour (ask for Kessie-lol) you won’t regret it !!!!

Would do it all over again!
It was just a friend and I on this tour, so I thought we'd the put into a bigger group, but we had a driver (Fausto) to ourselves. He was knowledgeable, polite, personable, and gave a fantastic tour. I was nervous about booking an excursion outside of the cruise line, but took a chance and so glad we did. Besides being significantly less expensive, they gave good directions about meeting them and once we exited the port, we found the tour operator right away. Our stop at Manawakie Park to see the monkeys and sloths was AMAZING! Our guide there (I don't remember his name) was also fantastic. The chocolate and tastings were yummy (my friend and I both ended up buying something at both places). I would 100% recommend this tour!

Sloth, Monkeys & Birds
This was a great experience, our tour was private with the best tour guide Samatha. The Sloths, Monkeys and Birds were amazing. The Monkeys and Birds would sit on your shoulder and head. It was amazing. I would recommend this tour, and ask for Samatha. The chocolate tour was very good. I was able to buy some Cacao, Coco Butter and Batana Oil. The Rum tasting was also very good, I didn’t taste the Rum, because I don’t drink alcohol but the Rum Cake was amazing.

An Incredible Experience with Jose Hernandez on Roatan Island!
If you are looking for the absolute best guide and driver in Roatan, look no further than Jose Hernandez! Jose picked us up right from the cruise port at Mahogany Bay, and from the very start, his friendly and welcoming personality made us feel completely at ease. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the island and took us to the amazing Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary, which was a massive highlight of our trip. What truly set Jose apart was his dedication to making sure we had the perfect day. The beach we originally planned to visit was closed due to bad weather, but Jose quickly stepped in and adapted. He called his office and changed our itinerary on the spot, offering us a much better option so our day wasn't ruined. Jose is not only a fantastic, flexible guide but also an excellent, safe driver. Having private, comfortable transportation with someone so passionate about his home made our cruise stop completely unforgettable. I cannot recommend Jose Hernandez highly enough. If you visit Roatan, do yourself a favor and book with him—you will be in the best possible hands!

One of the best experiences I ever had!
It was so awesome! We had such a good time regardless of the not so great weather that day. Anna, our driver/tour guide was the absolute best. She was so sweet and we loved that she explained everything we were seeing and answered all the questions we had. Issac, our guide when we got to the rainforest was also absolutely wonderful! He was funny, patient and so knowledgeable. He definitely eased some the nervousness I had when it was time to see the monkeys and I didn't want to leave when it was over.

An excursion to please everyone
This private excursion with Emmanuel was perfect. A little bit of everything. Our first stop was to visit the monkeys, sloths and parrots. I was surprised at how gentle the monkeys were even when they landed on your head! We also were able to pet the sloths. So cute. Next a quick stop at the chocolate factory. Dark chocolate with almonds was my favorite. Since this was a private tour Emmanuel was able to switch the order of our itinerary so we could get to the beach first. West Bay was amazing. They set us up on two chairs in the shade in front of our own private beach. Although there were many people there trying to sell you things, if you said no thank you there left you alone. There were many activities you could choose to pay for while there like banana boat rides and snorkeling. But we were happy just swimming. There were restrooms and changing rooms there. Our last stop was the rum factory where they had an area with beautiful views for pictures. Emmanuel got us back to the port in plenty of time to grab a drink at the pool bar in the port. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour and guide
My wife and I booked an excursion through Roatan Tucan Adventures and were completely satisfied with the service. They were easy to locate when we got off the cruise ship. Very friendly staff. Our driver and tour guide Nayeli was awesome. She was so much fun and a fountain of information. While at the beach, Nayeli stayed close and available in case we needed any assistance. She was awesome. I highly recommend Roatan Tucan Adventures and especially Nayeli. We would definitely use this excursion again.

Highly Recommend!
This tour with our private driver JJ (Jason) was excellent! It was easy to find the tour company outside of the port and JJ immediately took us to our excursions. He took us to the Roatan sign, gas station for snacks, and all of our excursions. I loved that we could spend as much or as little time at each place and didn’t have to wait on anyone else. The rum and chocolate places were nice and informative. The animal sanctuary didn’t last long because one of the monkeys ALMOST attacked my 6 year old daughter so I wouldn’t recommend this place. However the ATV activity made up for it and was the highlight of our trip. Our tour lasted about 4 hours and I loved seeing different parts of the island and learning so much from JJ. I would highly recommend!

Our driver was Emmanuel...
Our driver was Emmanuel who was very knowledgeable about the island. We were the first at the animal park and really enjoyed the animals there. It was raining so I didn't snorkel, but my husband did and he said it was great, still saw a lot of fish!
Highly recommend this tour and Emmanuel!

Loved it
A very nice young man came to walk us about 5 minutes to the location. He then showed us where the bathrooms were at and he then took us to free lockers. Then he took us to a truck that takes you up the mountain which is an adventure within its self. Then there are 4 guides that will talk to you about safety before the fun begins. All of them were amazing. From there you go to the zoo where again you will meet more amazing people , monkeys, sloth and birds. We truly enjoyed it all.

Great Experience!!
We had a really great experience from the time Daniel our driver picked us up until the time he dropped us back at our hotel. Daniel was a great driver, punctual, friendly and informative with a very clean car. Bruno took us on a great ATV tour of a beautiful farm with some island highlights and history and then Bruno and Joshua led a fantastic 3 stop snorkel tour, in gorgeous waters where we saw tons of activity and cool sea life. I would recommend this tour!

Amazing Mother-Daughter Experience—Safe, Personal, and Unforgettable!
My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful experience on the Monkey, Sloth, and Drift Snorkel Tour in Roatán! It was just the two of us, and we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire excursion.
Meeting our guide just outside the cruise port was easy, and we had our own private driver. He was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our guide at the monkey and sloth sanctuary was amazing—welcoming, informative, and patient. He answered all our questions and made sure we each had plenty of time interacting with the animals.
Our snorkeling guide was also wonderful. He explained everything clearly and helped ease any anxiety we had about snorkeling in the ocean, making us feel safe and confident.
The entire experience was well organized, personal, and enjoyable from beginning to end. My daughter and I made incredible memories, and I would absolutely recommend this tour—especially to mothers traveling alone with their children or teenagers!

Monkeys and parrots and sloths—oh my! If a wildlife-viewing adventure appears on your wish list, you can’t go wrong with Roatan excursions that get you up close and personal with the animals that call this island off the coast of Honduras home. Active adventures abound at this popular cruise port, from ATV rides to jungle ziplines to snorkel cruises on the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. In fact, Roatan sits near the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest barrier reef system in the world, so it’s teeming with colorful marine life, including starfish and turtles.
