Fair, but Disappointing – Poorly Managed Despite a Highlight

Rich_B, Jun 2025
I traveled with a large group of 15 people, ranging in age from 6 months to 74 years. While I understand that tour operators can’t control the weather or traffic, there were many aspects of this excursion that were simply mismanaged. The experience started with confusion at the chaotic Roatan port, which was expected. We eventually met our guide, who repeatedly referred to himself as our “babysitter.” From the outset, he emphasized tipping, telling me no less than 20 times, “I’ll take care of you, and you take care of me.” It was uncomfortable and unprofessional. Our first activity was a walk along a busy roadside to reach the sloth and monkey sanctuary. This walk was not safe or suitable for older individuals or anyone with mobility concerns. The heat was intense (which, of course, is no one’s fault), but a well-prepared operator would have provided water or at least an option to purchase refreshments. Neither was available. My 74-year-old father was visibly overheated and pale by the end of it. After the sanctuary, our guide disappeared for 5–10 minutes. Locals tried to call him, but he was unreachable. He eventually returned, but the lack of communication left us unsure and frustrated. Next, we boarded a small boat—something that may not have been part of the original itinerary. It was not easy for my father to get on and off, and there were no life jackets available for my infant grandson, which was concerning. The boat barely had enough room, forcing some of our group to stand for the hour-long ride. Four water bottles were provided for the 15 of us—likely from the boat operator, not our guide. Thankfully, the snorkeling portion was excellent. The water was clear, fish abundant, and the snorkeling guide (not our original one) was knowledgeable and engaging. This part was the highlight and the reason this review isn’t one star. After snorkeling, we returned to the beach—and then the rain came. Again, weather isn’t anyone’s fault, but the response was poor. We sought shelter at a restaurant, told the guide we wanted to return to port, and were told a bus would arrive in 20 minutes. Based on that, we declined food and drink and thus removed ourselves from the restaurant shelter and instead stood under a different area that did not keep us dry. However, it took over an hour for the bus to come. Had we been given accurate information, we could have waited comfortably and had a meal. Instead, we were left standing wet and cold with little guidance. Throughout the trip, the guide continued to press for a tip, even blaming the delay on traffic, which didn’t seem plausible. When the bus finally arrived, the AC was blasting despite us being drenched. We had to ask for it to be turned off. We skipped the photo stop and any other optional visits—we were tired, wet, and ready to leave. Ultimately, the excellent snorkeling saved this from being a one-star review. With a more attentive, honest, and guest-focused guide, this could have been a four- or five-star experience. As it was, I left unimpressed and hesitant to return to Roatan.

What a great time we had...

What a great time we had with Orling!!! He was so attentive to us and made sure the day was perfect. Thank you for making our day in Roatan so special!

Exceptional time

Elizabeth_K, Mar 2025
It was somewhat difficult to locate our driver when we arrived because he was not holding a sign like the others. Thankfully, some of the city workers knew who he was and called him, helping us find him. Although it was lovely having our own driver, he continuously talked about how much in tips he had received in the past, almost as if to be setting a standard in what his expectation was for us to tip. We also felt somewhat unsafe as to how fast he was driving, he also mentioned that there was no speed limit so he could go as fast as he wanted, it was a little sketchy at times. However, the jungle park was great- we loved our tour guide there and that they truly took the time to make sure every child and family had time to hold the animals and take the pictures. The beach was clean and the staff there were very accommodating and helpful. The snorkeling experience was fantastic- but I would bring your own mouthpiece because it was hard to say how clean they were. Overall, we loved our experiences. I would definitely recommend the experience, maybe just a different driver or more training in that department would help improve the overall rating!

Thanks for the review I will look in to this matter

Great Shore Excursion in Roatan

Natalie_K, Mar 2025
This was a fun day. Some of the places we went were very crowded because there were 5 cruise ships in port, but our driver - Kelvin - was fantastic and very attentive and helpful with anything we needed. It was very easy to find him, we were in a very comfortable vehicle and he got us back to the port with plenty of time to not be in a rush getting back on the ship. This was a great way to see several things in Roatan in such a short time in port.

We had a great time with...

Pierre_B, Mar 2025
We had a great time with the excursion. There was a nice variety with first seeing the animals, snorkeling and then hanging on the beach. Our diver Larry was great. They also stop for pictures along the drive, just be aware that food is not included.

Great Island tour

David_H, Jan 2025
We had a great time. It was raining really hard the night before and the morning of our tour so the water was really cloudy so we decided not to snorkle. Our tour guide Jenny took us for a tour around the island and showed us a bunch of things and then we had a nice lunch afterward. She dropped us back off at the ship afterward. She was very sweet and we had a great time.

Sloths, Snorkeling & Sun

bath4, Dec 2024
Meeting our guide outside gate 1 at Coxen Hole port was stressful as there were so many tour operators and no way to identify our tour operator. We walked from the port to the Sloth Park, which was nothing more than five cages with various animals. Our park guide was very friendly and informative. Holding a sloth was the highlight. Next we were driven to Fosters Resort on West Beach. The snorkelling was very chill and enjoyable. There was only four of us and the boat’s driver snorkelled with us and pointed out lobsters, which was cool! The beach experience was not peaceful as it was extremely busy and crowded. I don’t feel that our tour was worth what we paid. However, overall it was an enjoyable day.

Perfect Day!

Britney_G, Jul 2024
Great company! Avoid the ship crowds and take this private tour. They stay with you and they made sure we had everything we needed. Snorkel beach was great and the sloth and monkeys were so cute. Not a long ride to each place and back to the ship easy and on time.

Snorkeling and sloths in Roatan

Anne_W, Jul 2024
We were picked up close to our cruise ship. First they took us to see sloths and monkeys. From there we went to the beach club and got on the boat for snorkeling. The snorkeling in Roatan is amazing! The guides were very nice a knowledgeable. After that we had time to hang out at the beach club and have lunch. A great day!

Fun adventure but lunch NOT included

John_A, May 2024
Great hosts! The sloth and monkey sanctuary was awesome! The beach and snorkeling was fun - several masks didn’t fit and we had to keep trying new ones, but the water was gorgeous. The package said lunch was included, but once we got to the beach they told us lunch wasn’t included - note to Webster so others aren’t surprised that they need to pay for lunch

Animals and beach

Brenda_J, May 2024
Love this experience. It was a delight to learn about the different animals including the sloths. Jenny was a wonderful driver and took care of all our needs. When you arrive off the boat, don’t be surprised that you walk about a quarter of a mile to the animal adventure. From there, Jenny will drive you to the beautiful beach.

BEST Roatan option

Shelli_F, Mar 2024
This tour exceeded our expectations! The animal visit was great, island sightseeing on way to great beach break was awesome too. Request Percy - he was a friend instantly- a true local and made our day better than anything we imagined!

Good time but could have done without the hawks on the beach

Bill_F, Jan 2024
The monkey and sloth tour was fun. Enjoyed being able to go in the enclosures to interact with the animals. The snorkel portion was amazing, I’ve never seen that many fish that close while snorkeling. The beach portion is what kept me from giving it 5 stars. The never ending line of people trying to sell you stuff was a turn off. I understand they are trying to make a living, but when I say no, take the No and move on, and I’m not going to change my mind no matter how many times you ask.

The perfect day

Sharon_H, Dec 2023
Seriously the BEST ever. We had a private guide who spoke with love about his country. We got to hold and interact with smiths toucans monkeys and more (that part was a bit rushed but sooo worth it). The boat tk snorkeling was broken so we drove and took a boat straight from the beach. Unbelievable snorkeling. Water so clear and abundant fish. Lunch was not included and cost $17 for a mediocre at best burger. I suggest hitting the grocery store down the beach instead. Treated myself to a beach massage and relaxed for the afternoon. It was incredible

Super!!!

Lenni_V, Jul 2023
Snorkling was amazing!!! The beach was beautiful with an really good vibe. The monkeys and sloths were so adorable. Would love to go to Roatan once more!!!

Fantastic!
