Jason was a fantastic guide today! We saw so much of the island and he had a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture. He knew the spots to go to, knew people at each stop and really made our day a personal tour. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Roatan.

We had a great time with Jayson as our driver. He met us near the cruise ship, and we walked to their vehicle. He then drove us to the animal sanctuary and also to the zip lining
course that we added to our adventure.
Jayson was very patient with all of us and gave us lots of information about the local culture and geography. He took us to both very local non-touristy areas as well as the tourist areas that we requested. He took us to a great lookout point where we had wonderful views and also a few local crafts people.
We really enjoyed the food at the local restaurant that he took us to as well as the small chocolate shop.
The zip line adventure was perfect for us, but did require some hiking and stair steps. It rained lightly in the morning while we were zip lining which only added to the tropical adventure.
We highly recommend Jayson and Dani’s tour group.

We had a private driver who took us safely to our destinations and was there to take us on to our next location and back to the ship. She was kind and even provided wipes and an umbrella when needed.
Sadly most of the animals that we saw at the sanctuary were in large cages. We were able to hold a monkey (not caged) and a Mccaw. We were even able to get some excellent selfies with a sloth (no touching though). The Mayan Eden sanctuary was like a small zoo in a poor country. The chocolate factory was interesting, as well. Overall it was a great experience and it was awesome to have a private guide.

This is a *great* group to adventure with. Dani (manager) is super helpful and really responsive. Our tour guide (Billy) was exactly what you hope for when signing up for a local tour guide: he knows all the tourism stuff, but also knows all the 'extra' bits, that add colour to a trip. We had a super afternoon- just the right pace, fun things along the way. It is very low-key, so don't come expecting flashing llights and big-scale commercial stops. You will get a sense of the scale and feel of the island, meet people who do what they do because they love it, and see past the tourist strip sections of Roatan.

We had an amazing day with Mario! He was courteous, informative, and friendly! The Sanctuary was so fun! Definitely wear comfortable shoes as the terrain in uneven & a bit rocky.

We had a great time on this excursion! Our driver Lisbeth was wonderful and didn’t just drive us to the sanctuary but brought us to a great spot for pics! She also offered additional stops if we wanted. She was very knowledgeable about the island and gave us great info on the way to & from the sanctuary (she waited for us so no delays making our way back.) the sanctuary was great - we got to take pictures with a sloth (no holding allowed), feed monkeys, see butterflies & beautiful birds!

Let me preface this review by saying that we had a private tour with the party of 12. Catering to the individual needs of a group that big can be very challenging.
First, the tour provider;
This tour provider was amazing!!! They far exceeded our expectations in both their customer service and attention to detail. Our tour guide Darby was especially memorable. Her and our driver went out of their way to make sure that our needs were met. Even without being asked she was able to tell where a potential problem could have lied and made adjustments to fix that problem immediately. She made us feel valued as customers and provided an experience that was truly one-of-a-kind. If the tour provider owner is reading this, Darby is definitely a staff member you wouldn’t want to lose!!!
As for the animal sanctuary;
It was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. The capuchin monkeys were a highlight of the experience. I loved that it was a sanctuary with free roaming animals that interacted with you opposed to a zoo like feel where you had to go into cages for interactions. Our tour guide at the sanctuary was knowledgeable, informative, and brought a sense of fun and intimacy to the interaction.
As for the West Bay Beach;
It was simply amazing! The turquoise waters and white sand beaches were perfect. The resort pool was beautiful situated near the beach and under a jungle canopy. He was very tranquil and a perfect experience for our group that love to just lay and read in the shade. We had a personalized weight staff who was on top of our every need constantly. Even though the drink and food prices seem reasonable, I would expect to pay at least $200.00 per couple for an afternoon of drinking and eating.
Overall, this was an amazing one of a kind experience that I would highly recommend for any group of any size.

I have 5 teens w me on spring break... this was a great excursion for a fraction of the cost as thru the cruise line. Our guide was friendly and safe and all the girls had a great time!

Wonderful experience! We absolutely loved it. Holding the sloths, monkeys, toucan, & kinkajou was so cool.

We had an amazing time on our private tour to the Monkey & Sloth Sanctuary! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. Our guide Angel at the sanctuary, was not only professional but also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He made us feel at ease and shared fascinating insights about the local wildlife and culture. We had the chance to take pictures with the monkeys, sloths, and even toucans, which our son absolutely loved. It was such a fun and educational experience that we highly recommend to others visiting the area.
After our visit to the sanctuary, we made our way to a local Chocolate Factory, where we learned all about the chocolate-making process. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the shop was beautifully arranged with a wide selection of chocolate products. We even had the chance to taste some of the delicious chocolate! Dani, our tour guide, actually gave us the presentation about how chocolate is made, and he did a fantastic job explaining everything in detail. His knowledge of the process was impressive, and it made the experience even more enjoyable.
The Chocolate Factory was located in a great spot, right in the downtown area of Roatan, with a lovely beach just on the other side. Afterward, we explored the area, enjoyed a coffee at a nearby shop, and then followed Dani’s recommendation to try some delicious Salvadorian pupusas next door. They were absolutely amazing, and the restaurant owner was so friendly and attentive—it was the perfect end to our tour.
After about 3 hours of exploring, we were back at our cruise ship, feeling like we’d experienced some of the best of what Roatan had to offer. Dani truly made the day special with his insights into the history of the island and Honduras as a whole. This tour was definitely the highlight of our cruise, and we can’t wait to return for a longer visit. We will certainly be using Dani’s services again in the future!
One tip: be sure to call the phone number on your reservation before leaving the port to meet your guide. I booked last minute and missed that detail, but Dani was easy to reach and we met up without any issues. He also speaks very good English so communicating was not a problem. Highly recommend this tour!

Mario our driver and guide was great as were all of the guides and trainers at the sanctuary! It was a very personalized tour with us and our family. Hands-on activity with birds, monkeys and sloths was so awesome!! We will return and do this activity again in the coming years. Highly recommended tour!!
Sabrina_C, Mar 2025
This tour was amazing. Our guide Mario was awesome. He made us so comfortable and always was making sure we were having a good time. The animal park was so nice and the guide there was great. They took so many pics of us and did everything they could to make this memorable for us.

Amazing experience! Danny and his staff really go above and beyond. Great communication from start to finish. Darby and Jorge were amazing tour guides. Pick up was at the port on time and they made sure we got back in time just in case due to traffic. My family had an amazing time Thank you so much
Anjelica_P, Feb 2025
Dani was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable about the island and answered all of our questions. He brought us around Roatan showing us the different towns, going through the history. He gave us our own chocolate tour and was absolutely brilliant. This company is awesome and I would recommended them always. Looking forward to using them again next time we’re in Honduras!
Stacey_D, Feb 2025
We had such a great time! First the communication with the tour company was excellent. They were easy to find outside the cruise ship. Our guide Jason was probably the friendliest guy on the whole island. He told us about the culture and history of Roatan. He pointed out all the landmarks and was so fun to hang out with! The animal park was amazing, the chocolate is delicious, and the beach was beautiful! I cannot recommend this enough.
Shirley_B, Jan 2025
Dani was great. Thoughtful in everything to make our needs met.He let us know about options to see and hold the different animals. We chose Mayan Eden which was a great choice for interactions with the animals.
Lisa_S, Jan 2025
If you love animals this is the tour for you. Dani took us to Mayan Eden Sanctuary where we learned about native animals and got to have live encounters with toucans, monkeys and sloths.
MARIBEL_R, Aug 2024
My family and friends had an amazing experience on this excursion!! From the moment we got greeted till the moment we were dropped off. Dani helped me with the booking process and Mario was our tour guide throughout the entire time. Sloth/monkey Sanctuary was so great but I do recommend getting there as early as possible like we did. I heard it can get really packed and not as fun. Then we headed to west end resort which was like paradise!!! Bus had AC and fit out big group of 16 very comfortable. Great trip and service. Thank you!!

We book this tour with Dani the manager and it couldn’t have gone smoother, always communicated with us and answered all our questions! We were the only people on the tour it was a personal experience, not like the ship tour companies where you go with 20-30 people!
We had Andres as our guide and what a wonderful young man he is! Very informative about Roatan!! He also took us to the chocolate factory and no charge which was very nice!!! We would book with this company every time! Thank you Dani and Andres!!!
