Lovely Island tour

Renee_S, Mar 2024
We enjoyed our lovely tour guide, David. Upon starting our tour, he gave us the option of sticking with the tour we booked, which he said would be very short, or we could opt to go to the animal sanctuary and pay to get into a gated resort for lunch and beach time that we would pay for. We decided to do that even though we'd have to pay. When we got to the animals, it was lovely to hold them and learn about them. After we paid to get into the resort community, lunch was tasty and we had beach chairs set up for us. The beach was disappointing. It was a small area roped off, and there were a lot of people in a tight space. I was hoping or a large beach area, but at least we enjoyed getting into the water.

Not what we paid for.

Sadly this excursion did not meet our expectations at all. The tour guide Allan was very courteous but met the struggles of constantly trying to fix his boss's poor planning. The chocolate "factory" was mostly a small chocolate store where they briefly speed through a rehearsed presentation and gave us pieces of chocolate. Rum tasting was slightly better but was not impressed either. For the beach they told us that the location on the reservation was not longer available because of Covid. The beach they wanted to take us had no chairs and it was ugly so they ended up taking us to a beach where we had to pay $250 to access in addition to what we had already paid. The final straw was the food, which even though it's included, we could only choose from select dishes available in the small restaurant, and after we placed the order more than half of the order couldn't be completed because they didn't have enough for our party. After another 10-15 mins of scrambling we were transferred to the next door restaurant to be served. At this point we were now late and had to rush our food to get to the port on time and not miss our cruise. All this put a damper on the experience and at the end we were not satisfied with it.

Hi hope all is well sorry for the all the miss understanding that's why I give your party one my top guide to make sure u had a great time but it keep been impossible the hole tour you call me 4 time just complaining about everything we does this tour everyday their is ship in even people in the hotel the beach club is in west end where you guys had to spend time at the beach were was included in your package you wanted to go over to west bay witch you will had to pay to use the resort facilities that was not part of your tour we take you still once back to the restaurant the manager explain to the group they would had to wait a bit if all wanted the same thing because they had a larger group walk in n before you and they wanted the same thing so they would had to get them out the way first so they pass you over to the other restaurant on the side with is the same restaurant same owner to speed up the process you were explained all this and everyone did what was in their power to make it went is best is possible but not everyone come to have fun and enjoy chocolate and Rum factory hundres of people go in and out daily from the cruise ship and no one ever complain but once again am really sorry and the hole team send our apologies and we hope u enjoy the rest of your cruise and MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Great attractions and adventure, difficult to get to lunch restaurant.

David_H, Aug 2023
Chanel was a great host, we were expecting a group in a van or bus, but it was just my couple in a small sedan. Chanel was very patient, informative and suggested other great adventures. The only factor that should be mentioned is that lunch Is about 40+steps up into a mountain. My wife was scared and out of breathe by the time we got into the restaurant. Very disappointed that this was not mentioned.

Interesting experience

Delisa_S, Mar 2022
Richard was wonderful. After making it through the gauntlet of hawkers outside of the port Richard was a breath of fresh air. The tour is a drive to several locations. Gave us a flare of what the island is like. We did not end up at the beach but it was raining. Just clarify if you want to go to the beach. I think Buccaneer Restaurant is closed

Hayman Webster best tour guide in Roatan.

Mary_J, Feb 2022
Hayman Webster was our tour guide and our new friend. He was so knowledgeable, accommodating and fun. We enjoyed seeing the island, the culture and meeting the locals. It was amazing.

The tour guide was beyond...

Shasta_M, Jan 2022
The tour guide was beyond amazing! We loved him! He was so nice and informative! He did exactly what we asked! He exceeded our expectations! We will use y’all again in the future!

Not as advertised.

James_H, Nov 2021
Long, uncomfortable rides is an old Toyota van that had wet seats and left all our group of 10 with wet pants. A trip to an animal sanctuary (monkeys and sloths) that charged an additional fee to enter. The chocolate factory and the rum tasting did not meet expectations. The hike up 75 steps to the "restaurant" wasn't as bad as the two hours we waited for lunch. then the rain started. The only bright spot was our guide/driver, Murphy.

Richard is the man!

James_V, Aug 2021
Richard was amazing! He helped find everything we were looking for, and got experience amazing food, desserts, and rum. We got to see the actual life of the island, not just the tourist life. 10/10 would recommend!

Peter_C, Jan 2020
Met up with our guide Corvin at designated place . Good comfortable vehicle for just 2 if us . Drove through towns along East coast Corvin gave us great insight into local everyday life. Visited small chocolate factory , also rum factory , again small and although not that old the rum is ok and will only get better. Visited the main beach , no shortage of things to do . West Beach lunch at Buccaneers, simple but tasty. We loved the easy going way of Corvin , who was happy to do whatever we wanted at a relaxed pace ,Roatan does Honduras proud .

Roatan Drive By

Karen J, Dec 2019
We have taken Viator tours in other countries and expected this to be a legitimate tour. We expected this to take us to both a chocolate factory and a rum company for tours. Instead we viewed 2 gift shops! There was no tour at all and these were definitely not factories!! When I peeked behind an open door into the kitchen to see rum cakes being made, someone quickly closed the door and said we weren't supposed to see that! It was basically a drive around parts of the island. We could have hired a cheaper driver right off the ship to take us to these gift shops and restaurant. We did have a couple of stops for nice photo opps. Viator- you lose credibility for us with this "tour."

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Hi hope all is well with you and family sorry the tour wasn’t what you expected the tour is consist by a city tour history the island stop at the chocolate and rum cake factory now they aren’t big as other factory you guys may be use too they just small store where there are made right there for you guys to sample and get a state of how they are made and what they taste like and a chance to buy some more if you love it the restaurant is a local restaurant on the beach for you to get away from the crowd and have a local lunch for you to enjoy our local flavor am truly sorry you didn’t get to enjoy and it’s what you expected

A taste of Roatan

Stephen_G, Dec 2019
Tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and personable. The rum factory and chocolate factory seemed to be only stores where you could buy. There was little to see and experience regarding the production.

Great way to see Roatan

Keith L, Jul 2019
Roatan is pretty small, yet it's hard to understand the scope of the island and what there is. If you're already signed up for diving and/or going to see the monkeys and sloths, this trip gives you a good overview of the rest of Roatan. Our driver, Shirvin, was honestly the best of the dozens of drivers we've had globally in the past 10 yrs -- he was a great deal of fun to be with, he knew everything about the island, he was flexible and responsive to our needs and requests, and he has the world's best laugh. We were able to see the scope of the island and the different areas, visit a small rum factory and an even smaller chocolate factory, buy some souvenirs from a socially responsible vendor, and check out West Beach, all before eating a great lunch. Strongly recommend.

ロアタンのローカルライフを満喫

Masako_I, Oct 2019
ロイヤルカリビアンインターナショナルのクルーズでロアタンに寄港しました。 クルーズのエクスカーションは、ビーチに行くプランや、ナマケモノを見に行くプランなど私達にとってはあまり魅力的ではないものが多く、インターネットで調べて急遽このツアーを予約しました。 この日は雨がパラつく天気でしたが、ガイドのジェイミー・ルイーズさんがホンデュラスやロアタンの文化について説明しながらダウンタウンや市場、展望スポットを案内してくれました。 説明は英語ですが、日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語で、すべては理解できなくてもジェイミーは優しいのできっとなんとかなります。 チョコレート工場やラムケーキ&ラム酒工場を見学したのち、ビーチサイドのレストランでランチ。米とレッドビーンズを炊いた赤飯似たご飯と、魚のフライ、バナナチップスをいただきました。 長すぎず、短すぎない4時間弱のツアーでしたが、カリブ海の島の生活を垣間見ることができました。 ガイドのジェイミーがとても親切でよりロアタンの町を魅力的に感じる事ができました。 おすすめです。
