    This was a great way to see the city for a short day off the cruise ship. We hit the highlights (the sloths and monkeys!) and had some shopping and tasting too. Our group was well taken care of by our guide who is a local and very accommodating. Highly recommend for the whole family!

    Enjoyed seeing the parrots, sloths and monkeys. Johnny was friendly and accommodating. Great way to see Roatan!

    Excellent Excursion Experience

    Danielle_H, Dec 2025
    We booked this tour separate from our cruise ship and were so glad we did! It ended up being just the two of us on the tour, and we felt like VIP guests the whole time. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. Even though the weather was rainy, we managed to dodge every torrential downpour, thanks to our guide. We also learned a TON about Honduras because of our knowledgeable guide. We were so happy we booked this separate from our cruise ship!

    Jam Packed Tour of Roatan

    Renelle_S, Dec 2025
    We had an enjoyable tour yesterday with our guide Johan. There was a minor delay at the start. We believe he initially went to the Mohegan Bay pier instead of Coxen Hole, which caused a brief delay in the pickup. I contacted the tour operator through the Viator app, and Johan responded via text, saying he would arrive in about 10 minutes. In total, we waited approximately 25 minutes from disembarking the cruise ship until we met up with him. Once we connected, everything proceeded smoothly. Our first stop was the sloths and monkey sanctuary, where we observed various animals in open enclosures. Next, we visited West End for a guided tour of the Chocolate Factory, learning about the chocolate-making process from bean to bar. Afterwards, we toured the rum factory, where we learned about local rum production and sampled some products. Our final stop was at the Roatan sign for photos before heading back to the ship. Johan was both informative and engaging, making the experience more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour!

    Fantastic tour!

    Johan was an incredible tour guide! Johan guided our group through torrential rains for a personal tour that included the sloth/monkey preserve, rum factory, chocolate factory, and even a short stop by his home and his church. We enjoyed hearing about his personal story, his ministry, and most of all the beautiful island of Roatan. It rained the entire time we were there and will most definitely visit again when we can see the island in the sunshine. Thanks Johan for an unforgettable tour!

    Have a great tour

    Great tour - we have an awesome time. Our tour guide Dereck was very educated and professional. With a tween, we told Dereck to focused on the monkey/sloths and the chocolate factory along with skipping the rum factory (we are not big drinkers). Highly recommend Real Deal Tours on your next trip.

    Roatan

    Excellent and Stanley was a credit to the company loads of local knowledge and interesting things about the island. Loved it!

    Sloth/Monkey Tour + Rum and Chocolate factory visit!

    Nicholas_W, Mar 2025
    We originally booked this experience because the Sloth/Monkey tour through our cruise line was fully booked but in the end, we could not have been happier! This day was one of our absolute favourites of our entire vacation; entirely because of the experience given to us by our drivers. We were met at the cruise terminal by Isis and Jose (a husband and wife team) who immediately took us to the private, air conditioned, van (that easily fit 4 adults and two children) that we’d be using for the length of the tour. We then made our way to the Rum factory, the chocolate factory and finally the animal sanctuary. At the animal sanctuary, we got to have our pictures taken with Michael the monkey and snuggle with a sloth; that was the most amazing part of our adventure! Throughout the day, Isis shared her wealth of knowledge about Roatan and easily answered all of our questions about island living. We learned about their family, culture and all the amazing things they’re doing to help those in need; including building houses through an organization called Dwellings Now. This entire tour was personal, relaxing and beyond worth the money we paid. We happily gave an additional tip directly to Isis and Jose at the end of the tour and highly recommend this tour to anyone who may be considering it!

    Great sloth, monkey and others

    Myrtice_M, Feb 2025
    The guides were awesome and the experience was amazing. Loved learning some knowledge about the island. Our guide at the sloth and monkey tour was very knowledgeable and funny. 100% would do it again and recommend to friends.

    Absolutely fantastic!

    Alex_O, Jan 2025
    David was awesome, told us all about the area and took us to the best spots. Monkeys, sloths, and macaws were incredible! To say I recommend the tour is an understatement!

    Highlight of our trip!

    Casey_B, Oct 2024
    Getting to interact with the animals was amazing! My wife and I have always wanted to hold a monkey and sloth. That has not been checked off or bucket list...... thanks!

    Great adventure for a great price

    What a wonderful adventure. Aaron was our guide and was fantastic. If you were wondering if you should choose this excursion, definitely do it!!

    Roatan excursion

    Laura_R, Jul 2024
    Our excursion was great! The tour driver, Emilo I think was his name, was easy to find and took great care of us. Answered all our questions about life on Roatan. Getting to hold Sid the Sloth was so cool. The monkeys were fun to interact with as well.

    Great animals - long wait time.

    Scott_M, Jun 2024
    The activity itself was amazing! The guide (Patrick) was great and the animals were so fun! Unfortunately, we had to wait over an hour in the 100* sun to go back with the animals. Just be prepared with a fan, water, etc. If we had known ahead of time it would have been a much better experience. Also, drinks and souveniers can only be paid for with cash.

    Kids loved the Sloths!

    Aaron_B, Jun 2024
    This was a really good excursion! David with Real Deal Tours was outstanding! He was very inciteful and knowledgeable about Roatan and Honduras. The family loved the monkeys and mostly the Sloths.

    Great safe and informative tour.

    IEAffiliate, Jun 2024
    Driver was a great guy. Knew his island history and very interesting facts. Very safe and courteous. Definitely recommend to anybody that wants a very informative tour of the island, and would love to see the sloths, monkeys, and animal life. The chocolate factory and rum factory were great additions to the tour.

    Awesome excursion. A must do!

    JODY_F, Jun 2024
    Jerry was an excellent, knowledgeable and very funny tour guide! We will ask for him again in the future! Thank you Jerry for an amazing experience! The monkeys were great! The sloths were fantastic! Chocolate and rum factory were awesome!

    Loved it!!

    Becky_D, Apr 2024
    Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!!! The bus driver was great too!! He sure knew where to drive and I think we actually saw about all the island.

    Bad Weather No Refund

    Jason_B, Apr 2024
    We weren’t able to dock due to wind and apparently there’s no clause for this in the refund policy. Not a big deal but seems like it would be the right thing to do.

    Fun time and well looked after on our tour

    Sandy_M, Mar 2024
    Everything was great. We were picked up by Allan and took us on a tour of the island and then to the Sloth farm and then the chocolate factory and the Rum factory. It was a good time and could have gone to other places but we were happy with what we had seen and wanted to head back to the cruise ship.

    Tina_R, Nov 2023
    Jerry and his son Jerry Jr were the best tour guides!! Very knowledgeable about the history of Roatan. The food stops along the way were all delicious and we let us go at our own pace. Highly recommend!

    Joel was a wonderful guide, knowing much of the island and its history. We just had an all-around great time talking with him about many wide-ranging topics. Loved holding the sloths.

    We met Emerson at 9AM in the port of Roatan. Then we had a four hour long guided tour in Roatan, such a nice and wonderful tour we got. Will remember this tour for the rest of my life. The interactions with sloths and monkeys were absolutely amazing. Emerson knows everything which is worth knowing about Roatan, so you are in the best hands of you choose a guided tour with him. Thanks a lot Emerson.

    Half hour of Heaven

    Julie_W, Jun 2023
    I was in heaven, the spider monkeys were so cute jumping on and off of us all, and the n the sloths, OMG, how adorable, and soft. You truly want to just take them home. It was a wonderful experience. Would do it again

    Little car but great time

    Amy_H, Apr 2023
    Everything was wonderful, the guide was very knowledgeable, Everyone very nice. the only issue we had was the little car we had to ride in, we were hoping for a mini van or something of that nature. But we still had a great time.
