On arrival at the cruise port, we had to walk outside the port to meet our tour guide. There were about a bazillion vendors trying to sell us a tour, but as soon as we informed each set of vendors that we had already booked a tour with another company, they were quick and helpful in pointing us to where we would find our tour guide. Upon meeting Julie, we waited a few minutes for everyone else to arrive, then we loaded into her van. The tour is limited in size by the number of people who will fit into the van, so no more than a dozen people or so. During the ride to our first destination, we learned that Julie is the owner of the (small) business. She was very personable and more than willing to answer any questions. She was happy to alter the tour in any way that the group desired, but we all agreed to the tour as planned. We loved the monkey and sloth sanctuary, and enjoyed quick stops at the chocolate shop and rum cake shop. When we let Julie know that we were looking to purchase some vanilla, she took us to a gas station/quick stop where we could by vanilla from the locals at 1/4 the price of what was being charged at the tourist shops. We then enjoyed 2 hours at a private beach (she gave us the option to go to a free public beach but our group decided on the $20 admission to the very nice beach club, which included the use of a chair, the ability to get drinks, etc). There were still hawkers, even at the beach club, but police were patrolling the beach to make sure customers were not harassed. At the end of the tour, we felt like Julie was a friend. She took great care of us, and we 1000% recommend her tour company.
Highly recommend booking this tour if you want to see the highlights of the island! It's the perfect excursion if you're on a cruise and it's your first time in Roatan.
Alanis, our tour guide, was so welcoming and friendly, and our driver did a great job getting the group around the island safely.
The meeting instructions were easy to follow. You'll meet your guide just outside the port gate. You may have to make your way past a few excursion promoters, but they're happy to point you to the right tour.
Our first stop was Manawakie Park, where we saw a sloth, macaws, and white-faced monkeys, and even got to interact with them. Afterwards, we stopped at Mayak Chocolate to try some samples. It can get crowded and a bit touristy, but the chocolate makes a great souvenir to bring back for friends. Next was the rum factory, where we sampled their rums and rum cakes. It has a beautiful overlook of the sea, so definitely take a moment to enjoy the view!
Then we got to choose between a private beach and a public beach, both in the same area. The private beach requires a day pass fee, so our group opted for the public beach, which was still great. You can rent chairs or grab a bite at the restaurant there.
After the beach, we stopped at the colorful Roatan sign, where we took group photos. It was a fun way to wrap up the day and get a great keepsake from the trip!
We made it back to the port with plenty of time to spare before the ship's departure, which is exactly what you want on a cruise excursion. Overall, this tour was a fantastic mix of wildlife, local treats, great views, beach time, and photo ops, all without the stress of planning it yourself. If you only have one day in Roatan, this is a great way to spend it. Thanks again to Alanis and our driver for a memorable day!

Hi! I am so happy to hear you and your family had an amazing time here on the island. We can't wait to have you guys with us we appreciate the positive feedback.
Our private tour in Roatan was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized, fun, and full of memorable experiences. We loved getting to see the monkeys and sloths up close — such a unique and unforgettable experience. Visiting the Roatan sign was also a great photo opportunity and a fun stop along the way.
What made the tour even more special was learning about the history of the island from our AMAZING guide Phoebe. It gave us a much deeper appreciation for Roatan and its culture. The rum factory and chocolate tour were also fantastic — both were fun, interesting, and delicious. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, local culture, and hands-on experiences.
The true star of the day, though, was our AMAZING tour guide, Phoebe. She was knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, and made the entire experience feel personal and special. Phoebe went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time, and her willingness to adjust the standard tour to our individual desires was so appreciated. She made us feel so welcome and took such great care of us from start to finish.
If you are considering a private tour in Roatan, I cannot recommend Let's See Roatan enough — and if you get Phoebe as your guide, you are truly in the best hands. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end!

We had a great time with our tour guide Ceci. She was very easy going and showed us around and let us ask questions. The tour was quick and didn't feel too rushed. Was a good way to see Roatan and liked having a private driver.

While visiting Roatan on a cruise, we decided to skip the ship-sponsored excursions and try something different, and I'm so glad we did. Although the area just outside the cruise port was a bit crowded with taxi drivers and tour operators competing for attention, we had no trouble locating our tour guide.
Once everyone gathered, we boarded the van and set off for a wonderful day exploring the island. Our entire group happened to be from the same cruise ship, which made for a fun and friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed not only seeing the sights but also getting to know our fellow passengers and our guides along the way.
Fibi and her driver were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. We appreciated all the information they shared about Roatan's history, culture, and the places we visited. Every stop was well planned, and the local food was delicious.
I think this tour gave us a much more personal and authentic experience than we would have had on a large cruise excursion at a great price. And they were very conscious of the time and getting us back to the ship, so no worries if that's one of your concerns! I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're looking for a smaller, more intimate way to explore Roatan. Thank you, Fibi, for helping make our visit so memorable!

This tour was great and fun. Five stars!
Met our tour guide Jim-L after getting off the ship. Jim-L was energetic and a lifelong Honduran who shared a lot of information as we traveled to a chocolate tour where we sampled some homemade chocolate.
Next, we drove to Manawakie Park (Monkey and Sloth sanctuary). We entered an enclosure where a monkey playfully hopped around and on us as the Park guide left sunflower seeds in our open hands. Also visited the sloth enclosure. Great photos.
We had a brief stop at a Rum distillery and sampled Island Eddy’s unique rum blends/flavors and we soon traveled to West Bay beach where we were able to swim and purchase drinks and lunch.
Our last stop was at the colorful Roatan sign to take photos in front of it.
The tour was well designed and paced comfortably.
Note: bring bug repellent for the monkey sanctuary as there are mosquitos in the park, and also wear a dark shirt as the “hopping” monkeys have dirt on their feet leaving footprints on your shirt.

Hi! I am so happy to hear you and your family had an amazing time here on the island. We can't wait to have you guys with us we appreciate the positive feedback.
We were greeted by one of the most sweetest people I think I’ve ever met Cesia she was our tour guide while Otto was our driver! What a complete blast we had with them! I think we had more laughs and fun with them than we did didn’t really doing the excursion with all of the other things going on but the monkey that was amazing! The sloth that was funny, his name is “Flash!” The chocolate is devine, absolutely devine, however very expensive! It is neat, knowing that the handmade all of the items there instead of coming from China. We loved having the choice of going to the resort area and eating there or eating somewhere along the route and we all as a group chose to eat along the route and that was the best! If you go, you must ask for Cesia & Otto!!! Tell Otto to drive faster!! Hemade that drive so fun!!!
Cesia was an amazing guide and gave all of her passengers the care and attention of a 5 star service. She was knowledgeable and answered any question we could throw at her. She’s an amazing human being and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
My family had a great time with Jiml. He was knowledgeable about the area, friendly and kept us on ships time! I would prefer not doing the chocolate tasting to have more beach time. It's really just a small chocolate store, but otherwise a good experience. I recommend.
Our tour guide was great! All of the experiences were great as well. He and my boyfriend at the time were working so hard to find the perfect place to propose. 6 days later, we are currently engaged. Everything was wonderful!
As first time visitors in Roatan, we were extremely fortunate to have booked this tour. Our driver/guide Cesia was awful, genuinely considerate and just fantastic with thorough explanations and making sure everyone was having a great time. A must do.
The whole experience was amazing! The monkeys were such fun! The chocolate and rum tastings were great and the time at the beach was relaxing. The absolutely best part was our guide, Julie! She even took the time to take my daughter on a short walking side quest at the beach. It was all lovely.
Travelled with family and even with a rough start, weather didn’t behave in the morning, we were still able to enjoy a full days worth of visiting all sites and stops!
Phoebe was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. She shared in-depth about the rich culture and real life of Roatan. The monkey and sloth sanctuary was so fun. We got to stop at local shops for rum, chocolate, and souvenirs. We also got to stop at an amazing local restaurant. Wish we had more time at the beach, but our cruise line just didn’t allow enough time. Would definitely book again.
Alanys and the driver provided an incredible, informative and enjoyable tour for the entire family.
Thank you. We really recommend this tour.
Jamal was an excellent guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the best time, and felt very safe and comfortable. The monkeys, parrots, and sloth were so awesome to interact with. Make sure you have your camera ready! You have to try the frozen, chocolate, dipped pineapple at the chocolate stop. It’s a must! The beach was true paradise! My teens and I had an excellent day in Roatan!
Alanys and her husband were amazing! Alanys was a great tour guide giving so much information about the island of Roatan. They were super easy to locate when we got outside of the cruise pier. Step by step instructions were given and they were on point! we had so much fun with the monkeys and sloth. The rum tasting was great as well! Unfortunately, the day we went was raining and we were not able to go to the beach, but when it cleared up they brought us to the most beautiful location to see they coral and also went to a local establishment for some delicious local cuisine. Highly recommend!!!
The tour was well organised, from the moment we saw the team with the sign everything was smooth. The care shown to their passengers included a safe, less busy area to stand, stopping cars with ease so we could cross the road carefully and talking us through each step so we had no questions to ask.
Alanis was not your typical tour guide, it was like an old friend was showing you around. She is so warm and smiley and our whole family enjoyed the experience she gave.
Everything she does throughout the tour is to ensure each family ticks their bucket list while keeping a timely schedule and removing any stress about being late back to the ship. I would 100% recommend you ask for her and you will not be disappointed. Also her bond with our driver Mr Mario was very sweet to see, its clear this is a company that focuses on positive staff relationships as a foundation.
The MONKEYS ARE THE BEST!! It was a great tour we took off a cruise ship. The tour guide was informative and personable. We were very glad we booked this tour.
We had an amazing experience! This was our first time booking an excursion outside of the cruise line, and we were a little nervous, but everything was incredibly easy from start to finish.
Our tour guide, Alanys, was absolutely wonderful. She made us feel like family from the moment we met her. She was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made sure everyone was having a great time throughout the day. Most importantly, she made sure we got back to the cruise port with plenty of time before our ship departed, which gave us complete peace of mind.
We did the sloth and monkey excursion, visited the chocolate factory, and enjoyed some relaxing beach time. Every stop was well planned and so much fun. Seeing and interacting with the sloths and monkeys was definitely a highlight of our trip!
If you’re considering booking an excursion outside of your cruise line, don’t hesitate. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend asking for Alanys if you can. She truly made our day unforgettable!
Alanys was phenomenal!!! And so was the driver! 😉 We visited the monkeys/sloth, tried the chocolate and coffee, then enjoyed rum and the ocean view! We had rainy weather, so as a group, we opted not to go to the beach. She helped us figure out some other plans, so we ate it a great restaurant and stopped at the driver's favorite viewing area. I felt like we learned so much about their culture, island, and daily life. I would recommend her to anyone! We had a fabulous time and would do it all over again! 5⭐
Also, thoroughly enjoyed visiting with Sissy prior to the excursion!
We had a wonderful experience with Jemell during our day in roatan. Highlights were definitely the time with monkeys as well as the beautiful pristine beach. Thanks for showing us around your beautiful island!
We booked the monkey, sloth, and beach excursion in Roatan and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guide was amazing – she gave so much attention to our kids, making sure everyone felt included and had a great time. The animals were well cared for and we loved getting up close with the monkeys and sloths. The beach stop was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this excursion for families!
Our experience was awesome…Our Tour Guide was outstanding…His name was Jamal, I believe…He was so kind and patient with my mother during the entire tour…She wants to take him back to Texas…His knowledge of the tour was impeccable…
Best Regards,
Robert, Doretha, Meah and Pat
interesting tour of the island, tour guide Julie was excellent. the animal encounter was very crowded
It was the perfect excursion to get a sample of the island of Roatan. Our tour guide, Phoebe was great and very engaging! Great value, great trip!
It was an amazing family experience. I would recommend any one to do a tour with them. Jose and Phoebe.
Beach area was super crowded. If you wanted a chair…you had to rent one…chocolate and rum cake experiences were stores….no factory to see how it was made.
Beach area at Princess cruise terminal was much nicer than the one on the tour. Also chocolate and rum cakes were also available there at cruise terminal as well. Wish we would have saved the money and stayed at the cruise port.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations. The beach we visit is West Bay Beach, widely considered the best beach in Roatán, with crystal-clear turquoise water, white sand, and a completely natural setting. Because it is the island’s most popular beach, it can be busy, especially on cruise ship days.
While beach chairs are available as an optional rental through the beach clubs, there are always free areas where guests can relax in the shade under the palm trees or enjoy the beach without renting a chair.
Regarding the chocolate and rum cake stops, these are tasting experiences at local stores featuring locally made products rather than factory tours. Our goal is to introduce visitors to some of Roatán’s most popular local specialties.
We understand that every traveler has different preferences. Thank you for your feedback, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.
We had an excellent experience with our guide, Mairy, in Roatán! She did a fantastic job showing us around the island and made sure our entire family had a wonderful time. She was especially helpful while we were visiting the animals, even keeping an eye on our belongings so we could fully enjoy the experience without worrying. The only thing to note is that the pickup point is outside the cruise port, so be prepared for a bit of a walk. Other than that, everything was smooth, and Mairy was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the day. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Roatán!
Oscar was great!!!!!!! We were late and he stayed behind and still gave us a great tour!!! Best experience.
