We had a great time in Roatan. ROA team was amazing! They are very organized and friendly.
The visit to the animal sanctuary was a unique experience for us, even without the opportunity to hold a sloth (not a deal breaker). We still were able to feed animals and watch them in very close proximity.
The beach was breathtaking, fantastic snorkeling spot!
We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Roatan!

Great experience! ROA was ready when we got there and it was a small group. Just us and another small family. Loved the monkeys jumping on and around us. It was great to see the sloths as even though you can't hold them anymore because of a law. But you can see them up close. We also spent a couple of hours at a private beach. Our tour guide Norma was great! Would recomend ROA and this adventure to anyone visiting Roatan

The tour made everything very safe, easy and comfortable. Dave was a great tour guide. The beach was the absolute highlight. It was stunning, clean, relaxing and fun. We already knew we would book with this team again before the trip was over. We are already planning on booking future excursions with this company. I would recommend to friends and family without hesitation.

Really great time. We exited ship, walked out of port and found Roatan Ocean Adventures easily. We were assigned a private driver, Norma. She was able to share some Honduras history while otw to the sanctuary. Great time with the sloths, monkeys and parrots. We then went to a private beach. Was able to be there as long as we wanted too. Norma offered to drive us to local markets or restaurants. Overall, this was a great experience for a fraction of cruise line prices.

Joe was a perfect driver. Some drivers in the area were crazy, but we felt very safe with Joe. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and super patient. The Animal Sanctuary was SO FUN! And the tour guides were fun and knowledgeable. Everything was very clean. I highly recommend this!

This excursion was the highlight of our cruise!!! Company is organized & very helpful. Keylie was our guide & we enjoyed it!!
Alexandra_M, Apr 2026
The close up experience with the animals was amazing! And the beach resort area on French Key was beautiful and relaxing. We could have stayed all day!

Norma took great care of me from start to finish—picking me up at the ship, taking me to the beach, and making sure I got back safely. I was a bit disappointed that you can no longer hold the sloths at the sanctuary due to regulations, but it was still really neat to get up close to them. Spending time with the monkeys and macaws was especially fun.
The tour guides at the sanctuary were very professional and polite, which made the experience even better. I was also the first one on the beach, which was a nice bonus. The beach was clean, and the staff there were friendly and courteous.
Jim_H, Apr 2026
Such a fun experience! Interacting with spider monkeys and sloths, was so cool. I never expected to be holding the softest little hands of a spider monkey!
Michelle_G, Apr 2026
Definitely recommend! Everything was so fun! They take you on a little boat ride to Bradys Cay for a beach day after. The beach is beautiful.
Kristy_G, Apr 2026
My family and I had an amazing time! We loved seeing the sloths, monkeys, and birds. You can't hold the sloths, however you can get close for pictures. We then traveled to the most relaxing, beautiful beach where we were given plenty of time to soak up the sun. Our guide was extremely informative, providing background on Roatan. I would absolutely recommend this excursion.

Very well organized tour with knowledgeable tour guide. All the places we have visited worth every penny. The beach was unbelievable.
Cathy_S, Apr 2026
Flawless experience. Monkeys jump on your head. Very unique experience. Watching the sloths move was really cool
John_H, Apr 2026
Katie was phenomenal. She accommodated my disabled mother and toddler along with my stupidity of getting on the wrong boat - and she was willing to shorten our trip. This was great for my mother to get to do an excursion. Katie and I really hit it off. I miss her already. John Hayman - look me up on FB, please.
Heather_B, Apr 2026
The experience was great. We got to be in the presence of the monkeys as they jumped along the group of people. We were very close to the sloths. You could see very clearly their characteristics. Our driver was excellent. She took us to a local place where we had a Monkey La La. A MUST to try!
Cheranda_R, Apr 2026
We loved our excursion with Jared!! We went to the monkey and sloth place. We had the best time. Then we went to an island beach club. Very nice. We enjoyed our day with ROA!
David_P, Mar 2026
From start to finish Herbert and his team were excellent. It was seamless and our guide David was knowledgeable and friendly.
Rebecca_N, Mar 2026
You have to walk a little ways, but the tour guide drove us to the animal shelter. You could go in the cages with the parrots and spider monkeys. The shelter employee tells you what to expect prior to going in cages with you. The parrots will land on your arm or head! The monkeys will chase each other and bounce off your head! You cannot touch the sloths due to a change in the law, but you can see them up close and take pictures! So cute. We did not want to go to the beach since it was rainy, but our tour guide Felipe took us to a local flea market to souvenir shop. He then delivered us right back to where we needed to meet our ship.
Adrianne_M, Mar 2026
It was easy to find the guides holding the sign in the port.
The driver/guide was excellent, as were the guides at the sloth sanctuary.
The monkeys were the highlight.
Deborah_K, Mar 2026
My Friend and I had a great time at the Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break. When visiting the Sloths, the law is you can no longer hold or touch them. We were lucky that one was hanging out at our level for the perfect picture moment.
There were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas to use free of charge. The water was very calm and clean. However, it is Very Rocky In The Water So You Should Bring Water Shoes to make it more enjoyable.
The company that Viator used is very well organized and our driver Jared was very accommodating in letting us do a little shopping after our excursion before heading back to the ship.

AMAZING! Couldn’t ask for a better excursion! Keesha was OUTSTANDING!! We traveled as a Family of 6 off the Carnival Celebration. After walking a short distance through the port, we were greeted instantly and our new comfortable van was waiting to take us to the monkey and sloth sanctuary. We had a private tour of the sanctuary and then had smoothies and coconut water as well as the opportunity to purchase souvenirs. We were then transported a few minutes down the road and took a private boat to a gorgeous island where we were set up with padded chairs and umbrellas on a private beach. The entire itinerary was decided by us and our return boat was there precisely at the time we requested to go back to the ship. Keesha was even able to drop us off directly at the port on return as opposed to needing to be picked up outside of the secure area at the beginning. Do not hesitate to book this. English is the primary language of the island and you feel right at home from start to finish. Thanks to Roatan Ocean Adventures. We’ll be back!!!

A brilliant day in Roatán with our kids. Anna was a gem and couldn’t have looked after us better! Would highly recommend 👏
Bonnie_J, Mar 2026
Ana our driver and the rest of the Roatan Ocean Adentures took great care of us. I was nervous as a solo when leaving port a bit chaotic but everyonw helps you get to the right spot. Monkey Hangout experience of a lifetime and the beach it was great. Loved that they let us select our time frame to enjoy beach and be back in plenty of time.
Michael_S, Feb 2026
The Monkeys were awesome. And the tour operator/driver were very accommodating for our particular needs.
Christine_G, Feb 2026
It was the best excursion we took on the whole cruise! Our agent Aimee even got us a discount! I am so happy we booked with her and viator! Our tour guide Brandon was awesome and spoke perfect English. My husband was scratched by a fence and Brandon got him something to stop the bleeding and bandaids. He was so awesome! Then we had a wonderful time with sloths and monkeys! We got to hold the birds too.

Great time with the monkeys, sloth, and even the beach. Made sure I got back on time with no stress. Definitely a good trip
Richard_T, Feb 2026
This ended up being a private tour for us since we were just one big family and other tour goers did not show up. David was very accommodating and patient with us. Everybody really enjoyed the adventure park with monkeys and sloths followed by a beach break on a private island. Highly recommend!
TaraEric_W, Feb 2026
Really enjoyable visit to monkey and sloth sanctuary. Beach had nice tiki bar. People really friendly! Fun.
Kristi_S, Feb 2026
By far my favorite excursion. Keisha and her crew were so nice and fun. The monkeys and sloth tour was a blast. The private island was perfect. Best service around. 10/10 recommend
