Arguably one of the most popular tours in Roatan and definitely the most nature oriented one! We'll take you on a paddle boat (You won't have to paddle) to check out the mangroves at Oakridge, check out how some of the first settlers of Roatan live and dive into the clearest waters of Roatan. Get your bathing suit ready (optional) and jump into a natural ocean pool in the middle of the mangroves. There really are no words to explain it, you have to see it for yourself! This is definitely a must-see location in Roatan.

I had such a great experience with this tour from start to finish. Dani, the tour owner, was amazing to work with before I even arrived in Roatán. He answered all of my questions, gave really thorough responses, and made the booking process simple. Communication was smooth the whole time and I felt completely taken care of. Once on the island, my guide Mario made the day unforgettable. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Roatán and its people. He shared great stories and history during our visits to Oak Ridge, the mangroves, and Punta Gorda. He also made a few extra stops so I could take the best pictures. The information he shared stuck with me and I have been referencing it throughout my trip. Overall I had a wonderful time. Dani’s organization and Mario’s expertise made this tour one of the highlights of my visit to Honduras and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the East End.
Mangrove must see

The tour guide was a amazing (five stars for Mario) he was so well known and liked by the people we interacted with during the tour. Our mangrove experience was top notch they are such a marvel to see; we even had time to take a swim and the water was amazing. Our trip to Punta Gorda was a little disappointing because we didn't get to see the history and traditional culture of the Garifuna people but did get to eat traditional food which was tasty.
Awesome experience!

I went on tour alone. My guide mario was amazing . I was nervous about snorkeling but he was patient with me and really helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We had great conversation throughout the tour. The restaurant in PG also had delicious food.

This trip was amazing. We saw lots of cool fish and also the shipwreck. Our guide JB made the trip even better. He shared lots of local information and even took us to an authentic restaurant for lunch. I would definitely recommend this tour for your family! ☀️🐟🐠

We had a very nice time with Mario who was our guide. He picked us up on time and drove responsibly and safely. He was very sweet and his enthusiasm was wonderful to be around! The drive going through towns to see the Roatán culture and Mario giving us some history on things was very informative. The mangroves were beautiful and the water was crystal clear. There was not a whole lot to see in the area you snorkel in but the water is lovely and refreshing. Lunch in Punta Gorda was tasty and we enjoyed watching the people move around their day in the little town. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day.
What an adventure!

Seeing the East End of the island was great. It's much different from the West End where we were staying. Our guide, Mario, picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the East End where we took a local boat out first to snorkel at Port Royal, and then, from there, we rode over to the Mangroves and did another snorkel there. The Mangroves were really something to see and the snorkeling at Port Royal was pretty amazing—all kinds of different corals and reef fish. Mario was wonderful, encouraging, humorous, and knowledgeable about the area.
Fantastic tour

We had the most amazing adventure. Snorkeling in Port Royal then in the mangroves. WOW is the only word that one can utter when you arrive at the mangroves. The water is the most clear I have ever seen and the spot was so beautiful. We enjoyed a nice lunch in Punta Gorda. Our guide, Mario was super nice and did a great job at accommodating our every need. This tour was unique in the sense that we felt connected to the local people and culture. The boat captain told us a lot about the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour. Not all tour operators in Roatan are punctual and legit but these guys are. After coming to Roatan for many years and having dealt with many folks, I can honestly say I will most definitely take another tour with this outfit in the future. No doubt. And you should too!
Nice time in Roatán

I highly recommend booking this excursion! I did the Mangrove + Snorkeling option. Pick up and drop off was provided. Our driver/guide Patrice was AMAZING! He answered all of our questions, even stopped for us to get breakfast since we didn’t have time for eat. We had a great boat driver as well, Robert. Overall great experience! 10/10

We are chill people. We did 3 tours with Dani. Scheduled them the day before because we were winging it.. but next time maybe try and hit it a week before.. Dani was quick to reply and any concerns we had, he was there. Fair and honest guy. Had two other guys, Patrice and Andres. Pick us up. They were chill. Overall good experience. We never waited. Super punctual.
