Travel to and from the ship was great. The snorkeling was very good and the guides were excellent. The excursion was the perfect length, around 2 hours from ship and back, I would definitely do again.

    Friendly team. Prompt pick up and everything ran on time. Enjoyed the experience. I felt like the team on the boat were safe minded and professional but also friendly.

    A must see

    Joann_B, May 2025
    Everything was wonderful. The meeting point was clearly communicated, the ride to the boat was nice. The guys on the boat were great. The snorkeling was amazing!!! Highly recommend.

    Snorkle tour

    Amazing. Joseph dove with us and pointed out and named the fish we saw. Great knowledge and personality . Austin was our captain and assisted and kept us safe. Definitely would do again

    Fantastic Experience

    Stephanie_O, Mar 2025
    Tour operators were quick to respond to any inquiries I had. Once at the dock, we were greeted warmly and settled in with fins and put on the boat. Captain Gary and the rest of the staff were wonderful. The snorkeling experience was fantastic. Garrett did a great job of guiding us over the reef pointing out different things in the water. We ended above an old shipwreck which was really cool to see. Would definitely book again.

    Very accommodating!

    I had a great time snorkeling with my wife. Joseph was an excellent guide and pointed out all kinds of different sea life. The staff were all extremely kind and accommodating. Highly recommend.

    Perfect adventure experience w/Ilene

    Silvia, Jan 2025
    This was my beat experience in Roatan (we come annually) and one of the best overall (Australia is hard to beat). We snorkeled, had lunch at a local brewery with tour, and shopped at nearby markets. All perfectly safe! Ilene (new) was perfect, she honestly made our experience even better. I highly recommend this tour and the company. I'm sure everyone at ROA is just as great as Ilene! We will definitely be booking with Ilene/ROA this year on our next trip.

    While the staff managing...

    Matija_B, Jan 2025
    While the staff managing the tour were professional and welcoming, and the pickup from the Coxen Hole port was smooth, there are a few aspects I’d like to highlight. The snorkeling itself was enjoyable, and the marine life added to the experience. However, I was disappointed with the discrepancy in the advertised duration of the tour. The description mentioned a 3-hour experience, but we only snorkeled for about 40 minutes at a single spot close to the shore. This is a significant difference that could lead to unmet expectations. Regarding the snorkeling site, while there was enough marine life to make the adventure enjoyable, the coral appeared quite damaged, unfortunately. As someone who has snorkeled in destinations like French Polynesia and Bonaire, the contrast in coral health was noticeable. Overall, it was a good tour with a friendly and professional team. However, I would recommend providing clearer information about the actual snorkeling time to better align expectations.

    So much fun and a great experience with Brandon. He took us to a great snorkel place then showed us the island followed by a great lunch.

    Excellent tour! Pick up and drop off at cruise port exit, small groups, beautiful corral and abundant aquatic life.

    Pam_W, Dec 2024
    We had an excellent tour! They had a driver, Elaine, pick us up right at the exit of the cruise port and drove us to the marina and back afterwards. She was very friendly and informative about the area and sights along the drive. As the other people coming from other ships were stopping at the sloth and monkey facility first (we had done that on a prior cruise), we were the only two at the marina when we arrived. Rather than making us wait for the others, our captain Doug took just the two of us out for the ultimate personal snorkel with our excellent in-water guide, Darren. Darren showed us so many things we would have likely missed in a larger group, and we saw a wide variety of beautiful aquatic life. The corral was amazing, much more colorful and alive than some other places we have snorkeled in the Caribbean. We would highly recommend this tour!

    Great experience

    Terri_M, Nov 2024
    Our driver was on time and transported us to the site. We were fitted with fins and proceeded to the snorkeling area-although it rained the tour was a success
