We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, our guide Almondo was waiting for us at the pick up point. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable. We had a chance to stop and have pictures taken at the Roatan sign, Almondo gave us a guided tour en route to the monkey and sloth sanctuary. We loved the sanctuary, had our own guide who showed us around and gave us a detailed description 0f all the animals, we all loved the experience, would recommend 100%. We then proceeded to west bay beach where Almondo, took us to the beach and arranged for us to hire beds and then agreed a time to pick us up. I would thoroughly recommend MJ Tours, we loved Roatan and it was made all the more special by Almondo. Thank you we hope to return to Roatan one day.

We had an amazing day with MJ Tours, booked through Viator.
Our guide/driver for the day was Kayla—absolute perfection in terms of expertise, personality, courtesy & professionalism. We learned so much about life on Roatan.
The animal sanctuary was a hit, with Irwin as our guide. Up close & personal monkey & macaw experiences were fun. Also enjoyed being thisclose to adorable sloths.
Our beach time was spent at Bananarama Beach Club. Cheyenna took good care of us, arranging for beach chairs & facilitating our terrific lunch/drinks.
Kayla made sure to get us back to the ship with time to spare. It was a very good day on Roatan.

This was such a wonderful experience, especially with a 13-year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals! Interacting with the monkeys and birds was so much fun and definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Afterward, we spent time at the beach, which was absolutely beautiful—the water was incredibly clear and it was the perfect way to finish the day.
What really made the experience special was how personalized it felt. Our tour guide, Dorien (I hope I'm spelling that correctly!), was amazing. We had such a great time with her and also learned so much along the way. She really took the time to make the experience fun, informative, and memorable for our family.
It was the perfect combination of animals, learning, sightseeing, and relaxing at the beach. We made some really special memories and would absolutely recommend this experience, especially for families traveling with kids who love animals!

Our excursion guide and driver, Shona, was magnificent! She was very friendly and informative when it came to Roatan’s history and way of life on the island. The company we booked with is mainly all family members so they care a TON about their guests. The pick up process seemed a little confusing at first, but they send you detailed instructions on where the pick-up point will be so don’t fret if you have similar worries.
We started the trip at the sloth, monkey, and bird sanctuary and it was so fun! The workers there take excellent care of the animals and let you interact, but not “touch”, them as they sit on your head/shoulder so you’ll be able to get some awesome pictures.
Next up came the beach. The beach itself was BEAUTIFUL! The water crystal clear and refreshing. We hadn’t previously planned on any activities other than just chilling soaking up some sunshine, but there were many great activities you could book when you get there such as jet skis, scuba diving, snorkeling, and more. My wife and I went with snorkeling and it was a 10/10 experience. Saw so many cool fish, coral, and reef life.
When it came time to head back to the ship, Shona let us stop at a few local gift shops and points of interest to get some fun pictures. The drop off back at the cruise port was smooth and efficient.
If you’re cruising with Carnival and want to know how to spend your time on Roatan? Book this excursion. For what you pay, it’s an awesome deal and it allows you to see just a glimpse of what the island life has to offer. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip so far!

The animal park was wonderful, it was very busy but we all got time with the Parrots, Monkeys and Sloths.
West Beach was also wonderful, a beautiful beach with warm, clear waters. Again it was very busy but this was to be expected on port days.
Our guide Kyler was very personable, helpful and let us run the day to our own schedule.

Do it! Do it! Do it! Pickup was easy the second you walk out of the port they held signs and communicated who our driver was. Shana was amazing and really gave us the roatan experience pointing out local spots and little things like how Pepsi pays to paint your corner store if you use their product. After pickup we headed to the animal sanctuary and saw sloths, monkeys and macaws that were so cute it was a blast even though the monkey was feeling up my girlfriend 😂. Shana waited for us and when we finished we headed to the west bay beach while she pointed out scenic points and local malls shops all the while answering our questions about the island. At the beach you can sit under the awnings at the beach resort with any purchase (beer 2.50 or soda 2.00 counts) which was like a restaurant with good food and drink. You can also buy a beach chair for 15 per person but in my opinion it's not worth it the vendors are only out on the beach so you avoid that when you sit under the shaded part. We tried some Honduran beers and banana soda with some apps everything was great and cheap! The beach itself was beautiful and had lots of stuff to do if you want to buy it. Jet skis, parasailing, snorkeling and banana boats. We ended up buying a parasailing trip for the first time and had a blast. Shana recommended a vendor that she trusts to have us back in time so another way not to worry about time. We would recommend this excursion to everyone that comes and would 100% do it again.

I can’t say enough great things about this tour. First, our tour guide Mishelle was awesome! One of those genuinely nice people. She explained all the details of our tour and answered any questions or concerns. Super informative about the island.
The monkey and sloth sanctuary was fun. After that we headed to the beach. Mishelle helped us get some beach chairs and we were able to enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. I could have stayed in that water all day long. My husband and son rode jet skis, they had a blast. Mishelle waited for us at the beach so once we were ready to leave she brought the car right away. 10/10 I would recommend this tour if your in Roatan.

Although it was a little confusing at first to find our agent or guide, since there are so many vendors trying to offer tours when you go down to the port, once we found him, we were assigned to Mario Santos. From the moment we got into his van, he greeted us with a refreshing bottle of water and provided excellent service. He was always very kind and an excellent host. His company was also very attentive to the schedule so that we wouldn't miss the boat.
Very happy, excellent service.

This was an amazing experience! The directions provided to get to the meeting point from the cruise ship were very detailed and easy to follow. We unexpectedly ended up having a private driver and tour for the day. Darnelle was AMAZING! Very personable and sweet. Gave us cool information about the island while driving to our destinations. The monkeys and sloths were AWESOME. Being able to be that up close to a sloth was such a neat experience. Afterwards we headed to West Bay Beach to relax for a little before heading back to the cruise ship. The water there is absolutely gorgeous! There is also a nice restaurant there where you can order drinks and some lunch. It was a nice little spot for a beach day. We loved our day in Honduras! Thank you so much again Darnelle!

We really enjoyed the Mayan Jungle. It was a lot of fun with the monkeys and the birds! West Bay beach was nice. The food at Paradise Beach Club was good but unfortunately flies were all around our table none stop so we couldn´t enjoyed it. By the time we noticed other tables were not having the same issue there were people in all of them. On spite of our efforts we noticed flies were swimming in my wife and son´s smoothies and asked the server to replace them. He basically told us flies were not his problem and he will talk to the manager and see what they can do. At the end he came with only one drink that had to be shared by my wife and son after leaving the table in a rush. When we finished we decided to go back to our beach chairs to get a nap but couldn´t do it since they do not have umbrellas and the sun was too strong for us. We decided to end the tour early and go back to the ship. Our bilingual guide/driver (Shona) was very nice and being local she was able to give us all kind of information about the islands. It is a nice tour but if you go to the beach just try to go to a different beach club.

Darnell was a great tour guide. We were not a fan of the public beach at west bay. So many vendors we couldn't even see the water. They park their boats right on the beach. MJ tours was excellent and we will use them again, but to a private beach next time.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Wesley so happy to hear you'll had an amazing time with us ,yes next time for sure the private beach.
