Highlight of our Trip

5.00This is the second time we’ve booked with this company. The driver/hosts/guides are wonderful people. They pick you up at the cruise terminal and also drive you back to the terminal. The kayak and snorkel was perfect, and the driver also took us to a local eatery for lunch before returning to the ship. We will definitely book with them again in the future.
Amazing experience!

5.00What an amazing experience in Roatán! From the moment we were picked up at the cruise terminal by Jacobo, everything was perfectly organized. Jacobo was incredibly friendly, professional, and shared a lot of interesting information about the island during the drive, which made us appreciate Roatán even more. When we arrived at the pier, we first went kayaking through the mangroves with one of Jacobo’s colleagues. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and taught us a great deal about the mangrove ecosystem. It was both beautiful and educational. After kayaking, we went snorkeling. The group was small, which made the experience much more personal and enjoyable. Everything was well organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the excursion. The snorkeling itself was fantastic and one of the highlights of our visit. We have participated in many excursions and activities during our travels, but this company is by far the best we have experienced so far. The excellent organization, friendly guides, personal attention, and overall professionalism made this an unforgettable day. A big thank you to Jacobo and the entire team! We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Roatán. You will not be disappointed!
Leisurely small group kayak and snorkel. Great cruise excursion.

5.00This kayak and snorkel experience was an excellent alternative to the often over crowded cruise ship experiences. We were met at the port and driven to our kayak experience by a very personable driver (sorry, cannot remember her name). Then we checked in and dropped off our bags with the tour vendor. We started with the kayak tour. There were just four of us plus our guide (Jacob). He showed us around the bay and shared information about flora and fauna, plus the history of the area. When we finished kayaking, we were fitted with our snorkel equipment and took a boat out to the reef where another guide swam with us and pointed out the plants and animals of the reef. We had one person in our group (of about 8) who was a non-swimmer and he arranged for her to have a life ring and still experience the reef. He also allowed us to hold some of the animals (only those officially allowed). When we finished snorkeling, Jacob took us back to port with a stop at a local shopping area (chocolate factory plus a few other stores). Overall, I would highly recommend this excursion. From start to finish, it was evident that the tour staff cared about their customers and wanted us to have a great time. We were back to port in plenty of time to make our departure.
Excellent Excursion

5.00We had an amazing time with Jacob for the kayaking and Marlin for the snorkeling. The walk outside the Carnival port was just a few minutes with a short part of it uphill. A taxi for $2 was also available. We asked one of the first guides we met for help finding our tour. They quickly pointed us to the correct contact. It was just the two of us on the tour. We are inexperienced in both activities. We did the kayak first. It was a little windy with lots of seaweed in some areas that made this a strenuous activity. Jacob was encouraging and helpful during the activity, at one point pulling our kayak with his when we were struggling. Next was the snorkeling. Again due to the wind we couldn’t go as far out, but still saw many fish, urchins, moray eel, and conch. Jacob happily many a couple side trips at our request before driving us back to the port. We enjoyed our day and would do it again
Great Time!

5.00This is excursion was great. The snorkeling was fun and they were accommodating for our small kids. The staff seemed like they loved what they were doing and made it a pleasant experience. They let us fall into the island life pace and took care of everything so we could relax and enjoy snorkeling and kayaking. A great experience.
Daughter learned to snorkel. She was very pleased with the experience.

5.00Wonderful. Everything was perfect. Great pickup and wonderful guide and person, Monique. The other side of the island French Key was incredible. Gorgeous. Fun kayak with another great guide and the bluest water I've ever seen. The snorkeling was beautiful. And then we even Made a detour and went to the brewery which was so fun! I want to Move to this side of the island!

5.00From the get go the tour was organized. Jacob took care of the group. He knew which tour each group was on and ran the beginning of the experience with care. Once we got to the harbour, everyone was divided by excursion. We went kayaking with Omarion. Omarion was a lovely quiet 17 year old. So polite and explained everything we were doing and saw. When we were done kayaking, we were fitting with fins and joined the next snorkeling group on the boat where Philip took us on a lovely reef snorkel, showing us different fish, urchin, conch. The water was clear and the most beautiful aquamarine. After the snorkel, we went back to the dock. Jacob was there and ready to receive us. He had the van air conditioning ready to go. One the drive back to the ship he was so kind and friendly. Taught our 21 yr old son the ins and outs of driving a manual van. We had such a good time. Each person we interacted with made us feel like their familia! Highly recommend booking this excursion!
Great cruise excursion

5.00Wonderful cruise excursion for us. Communication was clear and everyone was very professional. We had Jacob lead our kayak tour portion and he was our driver. He was great and told us lots about the island and its history. We also throughly enjoyed the snorkel and saw lots of fish and coral. Finding ocean adventures at the port was a little hectic, but that’s not their fault of course. We were quickly pointed in the right direction and got out of the chaos. Highly recommend this as a cruise excursion.
