Highly Recommend Explore Roatan - The entire experience with Explore Roatan was exceptional; from the pre booking inquiring stage to booking and then the experience was first class. We booked a private snorkel tour. We... read more arrived to Coxen Hole on MSC cruise ship. The day of our tour the water was rough and rainy. So we could not do the tour we planned, due to the weather. Dorian is a solution seekeer and organized a snorkel trip on the lee side of the island. The weather was not great, however we found calm waters to see the coral and fish. The lunch was a fabulous cevinchi! On the way back to the Cruise ship, he stopped at a local shopping spot so we could buy some local chocolate and gifts. I highly recommend Explore Roatan! They know how to give the best to their guests.

Absolutely Incredible Experience with Explore Roatan! - Our ATV and Sloth/Monkey Sanctuary excursion with Explore Roatan was unforgettable from start to finish, and the transportation to and from our Airbnb made the entire day seamless.
A... read more big shout-out to Dorian, the general manager, for excellent communication leading up to the excursion. Communication was quick, clear with instructions, and made planning everything from our Airbnb super easy and stress-free. We felt well taken care of before we even arrived.
The highlight of the day itself was, without question, the outstanding service from our driver, Adrian. From the moment he picked us up, Adrian was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. His driving was safe and smooth, and he shared great local insights along the way. He never rushed us, took fantastic photos, and genuinely made us feel like friends rather than customers.
The ATV tour was thrilling—adventurous and well-organized. The Sloth & Monkey Sanctuary was another standout. Getting to hold a sloth and interact with the monkeys was something we’ll remember forever.
Between Dorian’s top-notch communication and Adrian’s exceptional service, Explore Roatan delivered a 10/10 experience. If you’re visiting Roatan, don’t miss this tour—and request Adrian if you can! Highly recommend!

First Class Company and Tour! - The instructions for getting through the port were easy to follow. We were met our driver and guide Cynthia who took us to her vehicle. The vehicle was a... read more late model ford explorer with cold a/c, ample legroom, and an immaculate interior. First stop was to the Victor Bodden sloth and monkey sanctuary where we were handed off to their staff, Betty. Betty was a fantastic guide through the sanctuary. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to interact with parrots, monkeys, and sloths. We weren’t able to hold them, but it was a memorable interaction. Next we were off to the Roatan Chocolate Company. We got a presentation on the chocolate making process and were allowed to try samples from different flavors of chocolate. Once the presentation and sampling was complete you are able to purchase chocolate and coffee and other products. Next on the agenda was a trip to the Roatan Rum Company for samples of rum and rumcake (surprise, they’re all fantastic!) we made our purchases and headed to the iconic “ROATAN” sign where we were engaged in typical tourist photography. After we had our fill of photos we were back to the port in plenty of time to browse the vicarious stores and still get back on the ship with time to spare. I HIGHLY recommend Explore Roatan for all your excursion needs while on the island.

Adrian with Explore Roatan is the BEST! - Guys! This is where it is at! While we were a bit overwhelmed by the amount of ppl at the cruise port offering rides/excursions; we were extremely thankful... read more we had an excursion booked with Explore Roatan. They met us right outside of the port (along with ALL the other excursions) and took us straight to our ride! We splurged for a private tour and let me tell you . ADRIAN is the BOMB.COM!!! We will be coming back and hanging out with him when we do! He made us feel at home and part of the family. We were a group of 4 women so you can imagine safety was a concern we had. We knew Adrian had our back the entire time! He was known by all of the ppl at our stops and even made a special stop at the Chocolate factory for us. It was awesome. If you ever get the chance, book the tour!!! If you happen to get Adrian, he LOVES white chocolate, Choc Chip cookies and country music!!! 🙂

Our kids loved her like she was their aunt. We give Explore Roatan a 10/10.

Just book Explore Roatan! Just do it! - I booked a private excursion for my family of 4 with Explore Roatan tours instead of booking through the cruise ship. We did a beach break and horseback riding excursion.... read more It was fabulous! Keisha was our wonderful tour“babysitter”/translator and she drove us all over and told us about the culture of Roatan. We were the first ones on the beach in West Bay and the water was wonderful! She stayed nearby if we needed anything. The beach was amazing, but watch out for the vendors who walk the beach all day! They are a bit aggressive, but just trying to make money. A simple “no thank you, maybe later” seemed to keep them at bay for a bit. My husband ended up buying a quick 60 minute snorkel trip from one of the vendors and was pleasantly surprised! Roatan has the second best snorkeling in the world!! He saw hundreds of fish and beautiful coral reefs. After a couple of hours at the beach, we did the horseback riding tour. We got to see some beautiful views of Roatan and culture! I was a little apprehensive about my 8 year old on a horse alone. But our guide put my mind at ease and had his horse on a guide rope the whole time. We rode on a back road to a beach and on the way back through the ocean! We had such a great time! Keisha got us back to our port with plenty of time to spare. We were so sad we had such a quick day as our ship left at 2:30. Even Keisha said usually the cruise ships are in port until later on in the day. I would recommend using Explore Roatan for a private tour! Thank you Keisha for a great time on your island!

We were taken to a much nicer beach club than about 5 years ago - Harry Morgan, and even had pool access included.

Be warned that the traffic in Roatan is terrible now with construction - we leave 2 hours to get back just to be safe. Wonderful people and wonderful excursion!

Amazing excursion - Our personal tour of Roatan with Janet as our guide was awesome! We booked a site seeing tour that included the sloth and monkey sanctuary, chocolate factory, and rum... read more tasting. We paid for the private experience and it was well worth it.
Janet went out of her way to ensure we saw all aspects of her beautiful island. She not only took us to the places on our excursion but also pointed out many interesting things on the island we may have just driven past otherwise. She safely navigated through traffic and tourist who walked right out in front of us on the road instead of staying on the sidewalk. She never lost her smile and just patiently worked her way around them.
We were hungry for lunch before heading back to the ship. Janet recommended an amazing restaurant that overlooked the ocean. Views were spectacular and food was very good.
We will definitely book with Explore Roatan again (requesting Janet as our guide) whenever we have an opportunity to get back.

10/10 - We scheduled a tour with Explore Roatan to see the Sloths, Chocolate Factory and rum Factory while on a cruise with Royal Caribbean. We chose not to do a private... read more tour but rather be included in a group but when we met our tour guide we were told it would just be my husband and I. This ended up giving up extra flexibility and allowed our tour guide, Cynthia, additional time seeing more of the island. Our experience was a 10/10 and we highly recommend Cynthia. She was patient with us, giving us all the time we wanted at each stop and gave us lots of information about the island, which we loved!

Explore Roatan Experience - My wife and I sailed on Royal Caribbean with a stop in Roatan, Honduras. We booked with Explore Roatan in advance for the Daniel Johnson Monkey and Sloth Park,... read more Rum and Chocolate Factory excursion. Upon entering Roatan for the first time, we were taken back by the level of poverty of the area and the hordes of people trying to sell us something. Thankfully, the Explore Roatan crew wore bright blue shirts that were clearly identified and they guided us to our tour guide and vehicle. Our tour guide, Keisha, was fantastic! Very down-to-earth, friendly, and knowledgeable of the area as a lifetime native. She recognized that Daniel Johnson's park would have been a very long wait and brought us to another park that was great! We got to interact not only with monkeys and sloths but also with parrots - all of whom we either held or had on our shoulders and heads. However, the time at the park felt a bit rushed and we were not aware that we could have requested additional animals to hold (PS this was the fault on the part of the park, NOT Explore Roatan). Keisha then gave us a tour of two separate chocolate factories - one of which was not impressive and hounded tourists for tips while the other was far more upscale. Keisha wanted us to see both for comparison which we appreciated. We then explored the Rum Factory, which was cool. All the while, we had great conversation with Keisha and truly enjoyed her company. She even decided to take us to a tourist area with an amazing view of the ocean as a bonus to our tour. Keisha then suggested we stop for lunch at a local restaurant and asked if we wanted her to join us or wait in the car. Given our positive interaction with her, we had no issues with her joining us for lunch. The three of us dined on coconut shrimp and pigs feet (a first for us but it was good). The ONLY downside of the entire tour is when the bill came. The bill for the entire table came to me, which I paid for myself, my wife, and our tour guide - who did not offer to pay for her own dish, to our surprise. We intended on giving a cash tip at the end of an otherwise great tour but were taken back by this and decided the paid lunch would be in lieu of an additional tip. We were then taken back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. Overall, I highly recommend this tour with the one caveat to be aware that if you dine with your tour guide, you may be paying a little more than you expected.

June 11, 2025We ported on May 28, 2025 on our first ever cruise. After looking at the ships excursions for Roatan, we wanted more so I started to do some research and... read more came across Explore Roatan. We decided to book the sloth/monkey + zip-lining package and added in a beach break. Upon our arrival at the port we found Kisha waiting for us. She was an absolute DELIGHT!! She answered all of our questions about the island and country, she was a great driver, and we felt very safe with her. We wanted to eat some local cuisine so she took us to a place and the food was fantastic. We invited her to join our family at lunch and we had a wonderful conversation. On the way back we stopped at the beautiful Roatan sign and made it back wi the enough time to shop in the port and get back on the ship. 100% would book with Explore Roatan and request Kisha again. PS- Please don’t let the fact that you can’t hold a sloth anymore deter you from booking that experience, we almost changed but decided to stick with it and I am so glad that we did. You still get to interact with monkeys and McCaws and get up close to the sloths not to mention the park was very clean, the animals were well taken care of, and the zip-lining was incredible.

His mom also works for them and we were lucky enough to meet her. And he loves his momma!!!Don’t hesitate just do it!!!

December 6, 2025The entire experience with Explore Roatan was exceptional. From the pre booking inquiring stage to booking and then the experience was first class. We booked a private snorkel tour. We... read more arrived to Coxen Hole on MSC cruise ship. The day of our tour the water was rough and rainy. So we could not do the tour we planned, due to the weather. Dorian is a solution seekeer and organized a snorkel trip on the lee side of the island. The weather was not great, however we found calm waters to see the coral and fish. The lunch was a fabulous cevinchi! On the way back to the Cruise ship, he stopped at a local shopping spot so we could buy some local chocolate and gifts. I highly recommend Explore Roatan! They know how to give the best to their guests.

May 21, 2025Our personal tour of Roatan with Janet as our guide was awesome! We booked a site seeing tour that included the sloth and monkey sanctuary, chocolate factory, and rum tasting.... read more We paid for the private experience and it was well worth it. Janet went out of her way to ensure we saw all aspects of her beautiful island. She not only took us to the places on our excursion but also pointed out many interesting things on the island we may have just driven past otherwise. She safely navigated through traffic and tourist who walked right out in front of us on the road instead of staying on the sidewalk. She never lost her smile and just patiently worked her way around them. We were hungry for lunch before heading back to the ship. Janet recommended an amazing restaurant that overlooked the ocean. Views were spectacular and food was very good. We will definitely book with Explore Roatan again (requesting Janet as our guide) whenever we have the opportunity to get back.

She went above and beyond for us! So when we saw that our most recent cruise was going to Honduras it wasn't a question of what we were going to do on our Honduras day. We (2 of us) arrived at the port and found our guide (Kisha) (a little disappointed that it wasn't Cynthia) but still excited. We got into her car and she asked if we had been to Rotan before. We told her YES! And started telling her how we had such a wonderful experience with Cynthia and that she was such a great person!! Kisha spoke up and said "that's my mom"! I couldn't believe how lucky we were to now have Cynthia's daughter as our tour. She was just as amazing as Cynthia! They are such an Asset for your company to have. We will be bringing our kids back later on this year and we will be booking another tour with your company. We recommend your company whenever we get the chance. Thank you Kisha for making our trip perfect!!

My wife and I sailed on Royal Caribbean with a stop in Roatan, Honduras. We booked with Explore Roatan in advance for the Daniel Johnson Monkey and Sloth Park,... read more Rum and Chocolate Factory excursion. Upon entering Roatan for the first time, we were taken back by the level of poverty of the area and the hordes of people trying to sell us something. Thankfully, the Explore Roatan crew wore bright blue shirts that were clearly identified and they guided us to our tour guide and vehicle. Our tour guide, Keisha, was fantastic! Very down-to-earth, friendly, and knowledgeable of the area as a lifetime native. She recognized that Daniel Johnson's park would have been a very long wait and brought us to another park that was great! We got to interact not only with monkeys and sloths but also with parrots - all of whom we either held or had on our shoulders and heads. However, the time at the park felt a bit rushed and we were not aware that we could have requested additional animals to hold (PS this was the fault on the part of the park, NOT Explore Roatan). Keisha then gave us a tour of two separate chocolate factories - one of which was not impressive and hounded tourists for tips while the other was far more upscale. Keisha wanted us to see both for comparison which we appreciated. We then explored the Rum Factory, which was cool. All the while, we had great conversation with Keisha and truly enjoyed her company. She even decided to take us to a tourist area with an amazing view of the ocean as a bonus to our tour. Keisha then suggested we stop for lunch at a local restaurant and asked if we wanted her to join us or wait in the car. Given our positive interaction with her, we had no issues with her joining us for lunch. The three of us dined on coconut shrimp and pigs feet (a first for us but it was good). The ONLY downside of the entire tour is when the bill came. The bill for the entire table came to me, which I paid for myself, my wife, and our tour guide - who did not offer to pay for her own dish, to our surprise. We intended on giving a cash tip at the end of an otherwise great tour but were taken back by this and decided the paid lunch would be in lieu of an additional tip. We were then taken back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. Overall, I highly recommend this tour with the one caveat to be aware that if you dine with your tour guide, you may be paying a little more than you expected.

We followed the directions and easily found Janet our guide for the day.... read more There was a short walk to the SUV that was VERY clean and comfortable.

YOu can tell they truly care about the animals and having a private guide at each stop made our vacation so personable. We did not feel rushed and she was able to make sure we did everything we wanted. We would have taken her up on stopping for food but our kiddos were worn out!

Our recent tour in Roatan was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the service was top-notch, and every detail was handled with professionalism and care. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly,... read more and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to explore the beauty of Roatan while also enjoying some hidden gems. Our first stop was an amazing wildlife sanctuary where we got up close with macaws, sloths, monkeys, and other tropical animals. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through each exhibit and sharing fascinating facts about the animals. Next, we had the thrilling experience of walking on a suspended bridge over the lush tropical jungle. The views were breathtaking, and there were plenty of opportunities for stunning photos along the way. Afterward, we visited a chocolate factory, where we learned about the chocolate-making process and enjoyed tasting rich, locally made chocolate. It was a delicious and educational stop that gave us a new appreciation for the craft. From there, we set out on a relaxing horseback ride along the beach. The horses were gentle and well-trained, making the ride enjoyable even for beginners. One of our friends, who was a bit hesitant about riding, was guided on a donkey by our tour guide, ensuring he felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The adventure continued with an unforgettable snorkeling experience in the crystal-clear ocean. The coral reefs were absolutely stunning, teeming with vibrant marine life. It was truly a breathtaking sight and a highlight of the trip! To end the day, we explored a local village and did some shopping, picking up beautiful keepsakes to bring back for friends and family. The local artisans had so many unique handmade items, making it the perfect way to remember our amazing time in Roatan. Be prepared for a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes, light clothing, sunscreen, and plenty of water are a must! The transportation was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly. We felt safe, welcomed, and completely taken care of the entire time. If you're looking for a hassle-free, exciting, and memorable tour in Roatan, we highly recommend this service. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greg & Nancy Harris, Louisiana
