Totally awesome tour!! Whitney was an exceptional tour guide! He provided us with some informative history of the island and gave us suggestions of the best spots on the island. There was no rushing and we got to spend the time we wanted in each stop. We saw the town of Coxen Hole, the beautiful blue green water, and did rum tasting. We tried local chocolate and shopped a local market. But the highlight of our day was meeting the locals (human and animals). The sloths were so sweet, the monkeys were as crazy as I expected them to be, and the macaw were beautiful. I can't recommend this tour and Whitney enough. Top notch!!!
Amazing day in Roatan

I booked the trip as a solo traveller but on the day the other guests just wanted the beach and weren’t really interested in seeing anything else. Whitney was my driver and he suggested dropping them at the beach then he took me to the Iguana sanctuary and the Guinea pig, sloth and monkey sanctuary on my own . I had the most amazing time with such a nice guy.. nothing was too much trouble . Thanks again Whitney .. ( and Robert )

Harley Bennet was a great tour guide. Gave us a good idea of what it’s like to live on Roatan. Showed us and told us about the sites as we toured. The boat ride through the mangroves with Captain Dorian was interesting. We enjoyed the restaurant and shopping too.
Harley, the greatest guy!

Harley was an amazing tour driver during our visit to Roatan, Honduras! He was not only an excellent driver but also incredibly knowledgeable about the island, sharing fascinating facts and insights throughout the tour. He made sure we saw the best spots and created a memorable experience for everyone. Highly recommend booking a tour with Harley if you want a safe, enjoyable, and informative trip around Roatan!

We arrived at the meeting point: they told us we have to wait 75 minutes for two other people. Finally they sent us with Liquor ( name he gave us) a good guy but surely more a driver than a tour guide. We were in the bus a very long distance and arrived at a place where they said it is mandatory to buy something to have the right to take pictures. After this a long time with the bus to go at a chocolate factory ( interesting but not so) . After that we were drive to a beach at Las Palmas very close to our ship. The guy said that we have to pay for chairs and umbrella ( in the description it was included). We said no and finally we didn’t have to pay. The water was brown, not transparent at all. We were not happy at all about this tour.
Great tour!

We arrived at our meeting point an hour early (due to a misunderstanding on our part). It was raining, so Wilson, our guide, offered to start early for us. Our group was small because we were only picking up one other couple from the other port. He drove us up to the animal park where we got to hold the sloths. It was amazing! We then got the other couple and went on the island tour and to the beach. After we dropped the other couple off at their port, Wilson took us back up to the animal park so we could finish our tour there. The animal park wasn’t originally on our schedule, but it was a highlight of our trip! Thank you Wilson, for taking such great care of us!
Highly recommended guide

Kislin was our tour guide and he was very informative throughout the tour. He started by what we were interested in and wanted to see, explaining everything. He was very knowledgeable of the area, patient and enjoyable to be with on our 4 hours tour. He is highly recommended.

Our tour guide Kislin was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! He asked us at the beginning what we were most interested in and invited us to ask as many questions as we wanted! He gave us insights as to what life on the island is like, the culture and some history as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and thank Kislin for an experience which we will not forget!
