This tour was an excellent way to see a large part of the island and get to experience some of the key highlights. We had a great driver/guide and he took us to some really nice attractions. We enjoyed the visit to AJs sloth and monkey zoo, the boat ride through the mangroves, the stop at the Mayak chocolate factory as well as the Roaton Rum Company.

Orie was amazing! I’m so glad I booked this tour! He customize the trip exactly what we were looking for, and he was so knowledgeable about the island and its history! Orie is the best!

Awesome day

Andrea_H, Jul 2026
I like that it qas customizable and private and intimate. The driver was very accommodating ans knowledgeable.

Best experience I’ve had...

christianmccoy1616, Jul 2026
Best experience I’ve had traveling. Joel was great local. He translated and talked to the locals in their native language and the other locals in Spanish. Saved more money then what the taxi service cost by getting his price and not ripped of by knowing we’re tourists. Just tell him what you wanna do and he will get you there. Ask for the local experience. We went on a boat tour with another local and he road with us. Definitely recommend. Got to experience all of the island in 8 hours.

Roatan day tour

Patricia_M, Jun 2026
Our guide- Dolfus was extremely pleasing and customized our experience to our needs and the time we had available. The communication through the App was very efficient for us to be able to coordinate everything for our day visit in Roatan. We will use it again for sure and Roatan Adventure Tours were very responsive. Thanks!

This tour will exceed all of your expectations!

Stephen_H, Jun 2026
Joel at Best of Roatan Island Tour is awesome. He gave us the best excursion we have ever had on any island. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience. Meet us properly after our arrival. We chose to take a private boat ride touring the mangrove and visited a marine rescue. Took a nice tour of the island in an extremely clean van. We visited sloths and monkeys. Went to both rum and chocolate factories. Had an amazing time as it exceeded all of our expectations.

Roatán is a beautiful place to enjoy nature!

Grisel_C, Jun 2026
Wonderful experience in Roatan! Joel is an excellent guide, friendly, very well informed, charismatic. We when to the Mangrove tour with him and we enjoyed this beautiful place, the tarpons, the turtles, the ocean!

Hi, expectations, but did not turn out the way we hoped. Would you recommend this experience to your friend

Judy_C, Jun 2026
Be prepared for surprises. Our original driver did not show up. So we were an hour late , things started. Even though our substitute driver was very nice and knew her way around, she handed the tour three hours early.

Private Roatan tour

Scott_V, Jun 2026
Experience was ok- nothing special- we went t where we wanted to but when it was time to eat lunch he took us to a spot close to the cruise ship where he got free food- food was gross and the service wasn’t good- I never got my food after waiting for 50 min while the rest of my family all got their meals- long story but I would still recommend the tour just pick out your own place to eat before you get here so you can pick something good- tour says 9 hours and he took us back after 5 1/2 hours

Great way to do Island activities without the larger bus crowds

Jennifer_K, Jun 2026
I booked this as an alternative to some of the cruise excursions. I wanted to flexibility to do activities around the island but leave when my kids had enough. Joel was our driver/guide and he was great. Super friendly, native to the area and knowledgeable about the island. I think he sold my kids on moving to Roaton when they heard from him how the school schedule works (7-12,12-4 or 4-8 families choose the time!). We went to AJs monkey and sloth experience. They were busy and we had to wait about 30 mins but was so worth it if you have animal lovers in your family. My kids could have stayed there all day. We then went to the iguana park which was very cool and I never knew you could interact with them the way we did. We stopped at the chocolate factory. It’s really just sampling some chocolates so not a big deal if you miss it. It was hot and my kids were done at that point but we had a great and memorable day and were happy to have Joel as our guide!

Less than expected

Amy_I, Jun 2026
We were looking forward to experiencing the island. Our tour guide vehicle was older missing a door handle and not great ac. We may not have specific enough but got the feeling that our driver only wanted to tour certain areas. It was fine but probably go a different route next time

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi good night were so sorry about the door handle that was broke days before your tour and we have to wait for it to come from the states we will find out with the driver what happen about the tour that day

Absolute best way to EXPERIENCE Roatan!

Marcus_F, Jun 2026
Today was our second trip to Roatan and last time we did a group excursion through the cruise line and…..it was….ok. BUT, TODAY was an awesome day with Courtney as our driver. She asked us what we wanted to do, which was the mangroves, animals, and eat good, and she started making calls immediately as we walked to the car. The mangroves were amazing and the water was a turquoise so clear, I have never seen anything like it. After we visited the animals we had a great lunch with an amazing view. We tried iguana and ox tail and some yellow chili sauce, all delicious. Wonderful experience thanks to Courtney and her team at Roatan Adventure Tours.

Private tour and mangroves

Lisa_R, Jun 2026
Highly recommend! Our guide, Michael was wonderful. We wanted to visit the mangroves. He was able to get us an amazing boat tour and then recommended a wonderful local restaurant with hammocks on the deck! if you want to get away from some of the usual tourist spots, this is definitely a must do! Can't say enough good things about Michael and the tour!!!

Joel was the best! He...

Alison_W, May 2026
Joel was the best! He goes out of his way to give you a great experience! We had the best time! Definitely take this tour!

Truly, the best of Roatan

Virginia_H, May 2026
Our driver, Michael is a native Roatan and he was able to take us to the locations that catered to much smaller groups. He listened to what we were interested in doing along with taking us to a restaurant that was simply unbelievable with access to beautiful water, clean bathrooms, and clean facilities all the best food around

Excellent customer tour

Ann_E, May 2026
We spent the day with tour guide Tracy and he rocked it! Very friendly, super accommodating and knowledgeable about the island he loves. I would highly recommend asking for Tracy.

Fantastic Tour

Jeff_P, May 2026
We had an amazing day in Roatán thanks to our guide, Dolphus Stanley, a Roatán native who loved to talk and tell stories just like us Cajuns from Louisiana. We connected immediately over music, family, hurricanes, island life, and local culture. He taught us so much about the island’s history, schools, tourism, and traditions, which made the experience feel authentic and personal instead of just another tour. He also gave us great practical advice throughout the day, including stopping early for family pictures at the big Roatán sign before the crowds arrived and helping us get perfect beach chairs at the Thirsty Turtle on Bananarama Beach. We felt safe, relaxed, and well taken care of the entire time, and the conversations and stories made this one of our favorite cruise excursions ever.

None

lisa_w, May 2026
I didn't go on this tour due to wrong pricing for another tour in another city ama when speaking with customer service to explain the issue i didn't get it resolved and would like a refund for being charged 2 times for one trip.

Sandra_G, May 2026
Our tour guide, Orey, was attentive to our needs, provided our family with many fun and varied activities throughout our tour of Roatan, and he did so without being pushy about certain destinations ...he gave us options and let us pick our choices. We had a great time. Roatan Adventure Tours has an exceptional employee! Based upon our experience, I will be recommending Viator. .. .

Great time in Roatan!

Tamara_T, May 2026
Perfect way to explore Roatan. Our driver was very friendly. We just told him all the places we wanted to see and he got us there. When we wanted to spend extra time somewhere he was very flexible with that too. Would definitely book this again if ever in Roatan again.

Guide was good, company name confusing

Barbara_H, May 2026
The different names of this company is very confusing! After walking a great distance from the berth Norwegian escape was in, we had to contend with all the other private companies and their passengers with only a sidewalk between us and all the traffic. Many of the companies had similar names

Great guide Jordan

Clive_J, May 2026
Our driver and guide Jordan, great guy very friendly and helpful it was a pleasure spending the day with him

My family had the best...

Corrin_G, May 2026
My family had the best time today. Very informative and patient tour guide. Will def book again when we return to Honduras.

Garfield Rocks!

Laura_R, May 2026
My husband and i traveled with another couple. This excursion is completely customizable. We felt safe the entire time. Garfield was our guide and he was the best. We wanted to see more of the island than what we had seen on cruise company excursions. Highly recommend and will repeat when we come back

What a great time! Orie...

Frank_A, Apr 2026
What a great time! Orie was amazing and very knowledgeable about the island. The personalization of the tour was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. We were able to dictate what we did and for how long. There was no concern about being able to get a taxi or share a bus with a large group. I would highly recommend this tour!

Best in Roatan!

A PERFECT day in Roatan!

Adriene_M, Apr 2026
Our personalized tour of Roatan was so much more than we expected! We opted to bypass all of the "traditional" tourist spots. We simply wanted to get a feel of the true Roatan island culture and our tour guide, Michael, did NOT disappoint! We ventured our way throughout the island, from the ritzy resorts to the small streets and villages where the everyday Hondurans lived. It was magnificent! Michael did an absolutely exceptional job of sharing how every day Hondurans lived. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Roatan is a very safe and community minded island. Michael made sure to take us to the top photo op spots on the island and gave us excellent suggestions regarding best places to get seafood! Absorbing the Honduran culture with Michael was, by far, a much more memorable experience than we could have if we had opted for the traditional zip lining, snorkeling, etc. This is the PERFECT excursion for anyone who wants to tailor their time their way!

Highlight of our trip to Roatan

Jeri_B, Apr 2026
Driver is very accommodating and knowledgeable. Did what we wanted on our own terms. Shout out to Joel!!

Much better than cruise excursion

John_C, Apr 2026
This was an excellent tour, and. Our driver responded well to our particular desires. Highly recommended.

2026 Roatan

Leny_G, Apr 2026
Our tour guide was Mr. Dolphus Stanley. He was patient and professional. He took us to a great souvenir shop and didn’t rush us, plus we had the opportunity to hear the history of Roatan, see many popular spots and many hidden treasures. Thank you Mr. Stanley.
