    The mangroves are beautiful! The ride on the dori was fun and our guide was fantastic. Unfortunately the trip is only about 30 minutes. It's a long ride to Jonesville, and the snorkeling and mangroves are not in the same location so there is a lot of time on the road.

  • Excellent trip

    This was an awesome experience from start to finish. The people who run this operation are polite and very knowledgeable about the island. The hospitality was top notch!! I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day in Roatan. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

    The drive to the mangroves was a little far from our hotel, but our driver, Phillip, more than made up for the length of time it took to get to the mangroves with descriptions of what we were passing by and the history. The mangroves were stunning and the snorkeling in French Cay was amazing as well.

  • The BEST tour we’ve been on cruising

    AMAZING 5 star customer experience. It was a private tour essentially as we were the only ones booked at that time. We met easily enough with our guide (be careful of local time vrs ship time for your booking however!! We were an hour ahead keeping on ship time; but we were accommodated to start the tour straight away which was amazing). DJ our driver was a lovely young man. The snorkelling was OUT of this world - the clearest view and amazing coral reef and fish to see. We’ve done snorkelling in Mexico too but this was even better. Can’t recommend this tour enough - deserves more business and reviews for sure!! Don’t hesitate, we can’t say enough good things about this tour.

  • Awesome Snorkel Location and Insightful Mangrove Tour

    I had an awesome time with Roatán Getaway Tours. Transportation service was great. I went on the snorkeling tour and also did their mangrove tunnel tour, and both experiences were a blast. The snorkeling was super cool – the water was crystal clear and the coral and sea life were incredible. I saw all sorts of colorful fish. You’ll get to experience being in your own little underwater world!

    Pick up was very easy! We met our guide for the day, DJ. He was so much fun and we really enjoyed his company. We had the best day ever! Enjoyed the mangroves tunnel boat tour, the snorkeling was amazing! Saw so many beautiful fish, starfish, lobsters, conchs and learned lots about the local wildlife. DJ took us to a Sloth & Monkey place that was on the way back from the snorkel spot. It was the best way to spend the day in Roatan and we can’t wait to go back! 10/10 Highly recommend!

  • A lovely day!

    This was a great day In Roatán. We met up with our guide Phillip outside the Coxen Hole cruise port with no issues. My friend and I ended up being the only people on the tour that day, so it was a de facto private tour. In fact, we didn't see a single other tourist on the East Side the entire time (with the exception of a beach club we sailed past with a bunch of expat gringos playing volleyball.) Despite traveling by cruise ship I'm all about getting away from the crowds, so that was cool. He drove us through small communities and countryside, and told us a little about the local history and culture. Once we arrived at the dock in Jonesville, we got into Dewey's boat (apologies if I'm misspelling anyone's names!) Dewey was a friendly guy who's lived right there on the water his whole life, and told us he also has a tour company called Get Salty. He said he and Phillip exchange guests on vans and boats with each other all the time. He took us through the mangrove tunnels and around the coast, which was extremely scenic. It poured rain for about 15 minutes that morning, but my friend and I were prepared with ponchos and phone pouches so it was just part of the adventure. We then met up with Phillip again who drove us to the snorkeling launch area, where there were changing rooms and restrooms before we got on another larger boat. The snorkeling, which we did with our next guide Marlon, was awesome. There were lots of corals and colorful fish, including some beautiful schools, and even a sea snake. The water was neither cold nor warm, if you know what I mean. Then we met up with Phillip again for the drop off. He was nice enough to stop at a local farmacia for us on the way back, which was much cheaper than en los Estados Unidos. I'm happy I chose this tour for our time in Roatán. My only regret is that we didn't have all day to spend on and in the water!
