Great snorkeling in Roatan

5.00A great day snorkeling with Mario. My wife and I have been snorkeling for 40 years and have snorkeled countless times. Pickup and drop off at the cruise port worked perfectly. Mario drove us (we were the only ones on the tour) to West End Bay, where we snorkeled at 2 stops not far off shore. Mario was very personable as a guide and a pleasure to be with. We snorkeled at 2 stops for about 25 minutes at each stop. The tour company was very flexible as to how many stops you wanted to make. The reef was in excellent shape, with an abundance of fish of various species. Water clarity was fantastic. Mario was excellent to be in the water with, pointing out various fish, squid, a lobster and living conch. He clearly loves his job and it showed. He geared his tour with us to our level of experience, but I believe that he would be equally good with beginners and the “not too” experienced. In summary, I highly recommend this snorkeling excursion and Mario as the guide. The owner, Dani, was also a pleasure to deal with. Some of thd best snorkeling that we have done in years.
Mario was a helpful and...

5.00We had an incredible time with Mario! We loved that it was a private tour. Mario was so great with my son (6) and we got to see some amazing things. The water was super calm, and every tour stop was very close so it made for easy transporation. Pick up was timely!
Very good experience - so glad we did this

5.00Our guide was great, so friendly and knowledgable. He was able to provide all equipment needed. The business owner was also so helpful, providing precise meeting instructions and maps, and answering all my questions promptly.
This tour was excellent!...

5.00This tour was excellent! My husband and I did a one stop snorkel tour with our 7 year son and 3 year old daughter. We knew they wouldn't last long swimming and just wanted them to see fish. Our snorkel guide, Valentin, made sure we saw lots of fish. We even saw a sea turtle! The kids got tired of swimming so our driver, Vanesa picked us up and took us to a few cool stops and basically gave us a tour of some of the island. We loved this tour and will definitely book a tour through them again!!
Mario was fantástico

5.00Mario picked us up right on time and where he said he would be. He was very careful about our safety and had a great personality and sense of humor. It felt like we were visiting family. We enjoyed beautiful snorkeling views in a little boat, felt very safe the whole time. Mario walked us by some local shops and restaurants, we enjoyed visiting the chocolate factory, and had lunch at a great spot with ocean views right on the water. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Great overall experience!!

5.00Great experience from Vanessa meeting us and picking us up to Wilson, Benny and Gustavo taking us out. We were the only two on the boat and had such personal service. The water and weather was perfect. We saw many fish at all the three sites, the Aquarium, the Blue Channel and Turtle Crossing. Benny lead us around in the water to make sure we saw everything. When we finished Vanessa waited around for a bit while we shopped and had a taco. Great overall experience. Would definitely do this again with this group! Thank you so much!!
Great Experience, supporting local business, and save money over the excursion offered by cruise line

5.00This was a super experience. We booked it as we would be on a cruise. It was far cheaper than the Cruise offered with the same scope. We were originally going to be just the two of us on the boat, but gladly had another couple join after their excursion boat captain had a family issue. We met our driver outside the port, lots of other folks there but all helped us find her. She was very friendly, and drove us to the beach where we were leaving from. After the snorkeling we visited a chocolate museum/factory (delish!!!!) Our dive master guided our snorkeling in three locations, all of which were different and all wonderful. I would book again...
Great Snorkeling

5.00Just my husband and myself... very VIP service! Valentino was an excellent guide and navigated the 3 locations as he swam along side us... He was so kind to take great underwater pictures with my camera for me! The reefs were beautiful! What an enjoyable afternoon! Would highly recommend this tour!
Mario is the best!!

5.00Mario was absolutely incredible and we all wished we could stay longer just to hang out with him and continue to explore the reef! We got to see a sea turtle, a reef so close we had to be extra careful not to touch it, and fish literally in our faces!
