5.00You have to walk a little ways, but the tour guide drove us to the animal shelter. You could go in the cages with the parrots and spider monkeys. The shelter employee tells you what to expect prior to going in cages with you. The parrots will land on your arm or head! The monkeys will chase each other and bounce off your head! You cannot touch the sloths due to a change in the law, but you can see them up close and take pictures! So cute. We did not want to go to the beach since it was rainy, but our tour guide Felipe took us to a local flea market to souvenir shop. He then delivered us right back to where we needed to meet our ship.
Sloths, and monkeys, a fun morning!

5.00We were met at the cruise port by a lovely woman named Bridget. It was pouring rain. She drove us to the sanctuary. Along the way she pointed out places that were interesting and we learned a lot bout the island. We enjoyed the sanctuary even with the pouring rain. The guides there were very knowledgeable. You cannot touch the sloths but you can take very close up photos of them. The monkeys are friendly and love to grab hats, tug on hair, etc. They were very entertaining. When we were done, Bridget had waited and she took us back to the port. She was one of the most kindest sweetest ladies we have ever met. We so enjoyed our day and would recommend.

5.00It was easy to find the guides holding the sign in the port. The driver/guide was excellent, as were the guides at the sloth sanctuary. The monkeys were the highlight.

5.00My Friend and I had a great time at the Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break. When visiting the Sloths, the law is you can no longer hold or touch them. We were lucky that one was hanging out at our level for the perfect picture moment. There were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas to use free of charge. The water was very calm and clean. However, it is Very Rocky In The Water So You Should Bring Water Shoes to make it more enjoyable. The company that Viator used is very well organized and our driver Jared was very accommodating in letting us do a little shopping after our excursion before heading back to the ship.
Worth the experience

5.00Great experience. Bryan was great. He picked us up right outside the port. You can take a taxi there 2-3 minute drive or walk. With little kids, even though there was a side walk, we chose a taxi. The sloth, monkeys area was great. We spent 45 minutes to an hour. Bryan took us to another small dock once we were done and a boat took us out to the beach. Boat could hold 20 people easy. We were at the beach roughly for four hours. Bryan came, picked us up and took us back to the ship. Well worth it.
A+++ Amazing!!!

5.00AMAZING! Couldn’t ask for a better excursion! Keesha was OUTSTANDING!! We traveled as a Family of 6 off the Carnival Celebration. After walking a short distance through the port, we were greeted instantly and our new comfortable van was waiting to take us to the monkey and sloth sanctuary. We had a private tour of the sanctuary and then had smoothies and coconut water as well as the opportunity to purchase souvenirs. We were then transported a few minutes down the road and took a private boat to a gorgeous island where we were set up with padded chairs and umbrellas on a private beach. The entire itinerary was decided by us and our return boat was there precisely at the time we requested to go back to the ship. Keesha was even able to drop us off directly at the port on return as opposed to needing to be picked up outside of the secure area at the beginning. Do not hesitate to book this. English is the primary language of the island and you feel right at home from start to finish. Thanks to Roatan Ocean Adventures. We’ll be back!!!

5.00We had a great tour guide with Kisha. we were received by her right at the exit of the port there and driven by SUV to the animal station The sloths the macaws and the white-headed monkeys remain unforgettable. From there we went to a small pier where we took a ferry to an offshore island about 3 minutes Here were free loungers and umbrellas as well as a bar and restaurant located on a picturesque little bay. Kisha was very friendly, helpful and gave us lots of information about the country. Thank you again to her
Great experience totally recommended

5.00Ana our driver and the rest of the Roatan Ocean Adentures took great care of us. I was nervous as a solo when leaving port a bit chaotic but everyonw helps you get to the right spot. Monkey Hangout experience of a lifetime and the beach it was great. Loved that they let us select our time frame to enjoy beach and be back in plenty of time.
