What To Expect

Take a journey into the best snorkeling spots near West End. Spots we choose from: 1. Blue channel 2. Aquarium 3. Black Rock 4. Turtle Crossing Notes: 1. We will choose the three spots for the day depending on weather conditions. 2. We don’t use fins on our tours in order to avoid the further destruction of our reef (our main attraction). However, if you feel strongly about using them, please request them ahead of time and well have them ready for you. 3. Boat time: minimal (10-15min all together). Spots are 2-3min from each other by boat in West End. We don’t travel far for this snorkel.

This tour was excellent!...

This 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 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!!

Great 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

This 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

Just 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!!

Mario 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!
Vanessa was the best !

Vanessa was our driver and Angel Was our snorkel guide. They were GREAT. My youngest was nervous to snorkel from A past experience but they both helped to comfort him while we were in the water and he did it! Vanessa took us all around the island, to a great restaurant and was very known about everything we asked, she is a gem. I didn’t get a lot of pics since they are all on my go pro .
Outstanding Tour and Service

Fantastic experience from start to finish. I originally booked a snorkeling excursion, but as the date approached, I was concerned about the weather and water visibility. I reached out to Dani via WhatsApp the evening before, and he responded quickly. He was incredibly helpful, honest, and flexible in working with us to find the best alternative. Thanks to his guidance, we switched to an ATV tour, which turned out to be an amazing experience. Mario, who was initially our snorkel guide, became our driver after the change. He was engaging, friendly and very knowledgeable about the island, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I don’t recall the names of the three gentlemen who led the ATV portion, but they were equally friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond especially by taking great video and photos for our family of 5. I had read the reviews before booking, and I can confidently say they are 100% accurate as we had a very similar outstanding experience. If we return, I would absolutely book again. I hear the snorkeling is amazing in Roatan and we would love to request Mario as our guide. You won’t be disappointed booking with Dani!

This was absolutely amazing!! Nikki was our private guide for the day and she did not disappoint. Carlos was our snorkeling guide and he was very knowledgeable. He was helpful and we had the absolute best experience. We took so many amazing pictures. After the snorkeling tour with Carlos, Nikki took us to several other places and it was perfect. We took pictures with sloths and monkeys etc. Hands down PERFECT day!!
Great day at West End with Mario

We were picked up in a car outside of the Carnival port by Mario. He was very friendly. We drove to the West End which was about 45 minutes away. We stopped at three places on the reef. The reef is huge with about 30-40 feet of coral. We saw several large schools of fish. We also saw some more unusual fish. Mario was great about pointing things out to us and took good care of us. Afterwards we tried some of the chocolate and bought some bars. We could also use the restroom there. Mario suggested places for lunch, but we had to get back to the ship for my mother-in-law. I highly recommend this trip. We love to snorkel and it was great to basically have a private tour with someone who loves what he does.
