Great service - I did the catamaran tour that left in the afternoon and concluded at sunset. It was a lovely experience. We stopped for snorkeling in the West End area and sailed... read more to Anthony’s key. The communication before and after booking, the tour was excellent. They answered all my questions and delivered on every promise. My driver was also exceptional. I was hungry after my tour so he made sure I ate and got back to my hotel safe which wasn’t his responsibility, but it was greatly appreciated.

Island Tour with Janet - Janet took us around the island. We visited a monkey and sloth sanctuary, chocolate factory, and rum factory. We also stopped for some photo ops. We loved Janet! She was... read more very nice and laid back and knew a lot about the island. We felt comfortable and safe the whole time. It seemed like the locals know her and love her, too! I'm glad we booked a private tour and got to see the sights as a family and could do it all on our own time without being rushed. Definitely would book with explore roatan again!

10/10 Day in Roatan—Cynthia Is the Real Deal - We had the absolute BEST experience with Cynthia from Explore Roatan—honestly, she’s a 10-star guide if that were an option!
From the minute we met her, it felt like we... read more were being shown around by a friend. She has the best attitude, so much personality, and you can tell how proud she is to be from Roatan—as she should be, it’s absolutely beautiful.
She timed our entire day perfectly. We were just ahead of the crowds at every stop, which made everything feel relaxed instead of chaotic (huge win if you’ve ever done cruise excursions before 😅).
The wildlife experience was so fun—the sloths (my spirit animal, obviously), monkeys, and macaws were incredible. One of the macaws even used my sister’s head as a scratching post which we will never let her forget. The whole place was very clean and it was clear the animals are well cared for.
Then—chocolate and rum tasting. Yes please. No notes.
After that, Cynthia set us up with Dorian for snorkeling and sightseeing, and he was just as great. Super knowledgeable, clearly loves where he’s from, and made the whole experience feel easy and personal. There were only five of us on the boat, which was perfect—not packed in like we were honestly expecting.
We chose to book with a local guide instead of going through the cruise line, and I cannot say this enough—this is the way to go. More personal, better experience, zero regrets.
I would recommend Cynthia and this entire experience again and again. Absolutely worth it!

Great Glass Bottom Boat and Island Tour - We did the Glass Bottom Boat + Island Tour. It ended up being just my group of 8 people! We had Randy (not sure of the spelling) as our driver/guide.... read more He was so awesome! The van we were in was in great shape and comfortable. We were early for our glass bottom boat tour so we did most of the island tour first. It was our first time in Roatan and what a beautiful island. Randy gave great "actual life" on the island information. The glass bottom boat was great! saw so many fish! We had stops at a chocolate place (tasty), a rum place (rum cakes were great but don't miss out on the little bar out back - Strawberries & Cream and a couple of view points. I will definitely book another tour with Explore Roatan and hopefully we get Randy again!

We had Cynthia for our guide and she was amazing. She accommodated any requests we had. We were booked for horse back riding, sloths and monkeys and beach break. She took us to all of that plus the chocolate factory, the Roatan sign, and to an amazing restaurant where we had some amazing food. She made us feel like we more than just clients. I highly recommend Explore Roatan for your excursion while in Port. We did all of that and still made it back in time to shop at the port and catch our tender back to the cruise ship. If you are able to request someone than i also highly recommend Cynthia to be your guide. we loved her spirit and love and knowledge of the island.

Monkeys and Sloths and Chocolate. Oh My! - We were on a Princess cruise and looked at many different tours. After much deliberation, we chose this tour. The only complaint is that we had to walk quite a... read more way from the ship to pick up the tour. This is not a fault of the tour operator, but of the cruise terminal. It was an issue as we had a senior citizen with us.
Now the positive. The operator and his daughter were great. We went to the Victor Bodden Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary, which is really fun! Then we went to a chocolate factory. We were able to really get the feel of the island. Both spoke perfect English. They brought us wherever we wanted to go, and back to the ship. We strongly recommend this tour!

She took us to many authentic gift shops outside the ports to buy real quality goods and services which gave us the opportunity to support the country. She took us to the Mayan animal sanctuary and we had the experience of interacting with the most beautiful precious animals. Alfredo was amazing in helping us see the most amazing, coral reef and fish and underwater wildlife and really bend over backwards for us to make sure we’re having a great time. He provided with us freshwater and other beverages and fresh fruit and ceviche. This is the first company I’ve booked a tour on my own without using a cruise ship vendor and I would go back to this company in a heartbeat anytime. And from now on I’m probably going to always book tours on my own without the cruise ship vendor because this was very personalized and tailored to what we wanted to do. Mission accomplished. These people are wonderful. Can’t say enough good things and made our vacation very special and memorable forever.

October 2, 2025We just came off our cruise and we had an amazing time on the MSC World America, especially our port call in Roatan. If you are visiting Roatan, I would... read more highly recommend using Explore Roatan for your excursion. https://exploreroatan.net/ They offer several different tours; my wife and I were most interested in one of the animal parks that had sloths. Explore Roatan also has an option of a making your tour a private tour for only $10 additional per person. There was no way I would pass that up as I envisioned being in a minibus with 10 other sweaty cruisers and felt that small an up-charge was totally worth it. I wanted to know which of the three animal parks in Roatan was the best and had the most animals, so I fired off an email. My inquiry was responded to very quickly by Explore Roatan. They recommended the Victor Bodden Park as our best option. One other thing that attracted me to Explore Roatan, out of dozens of local tour companies that I found online, was that they have a refund policy if your ship missed the port, or if you cancelled 24 hours in advance. They also had a guarantee of getting you back to the ship at least two hours prior to departure. And as someone who suffers from the nagging fear of being left behind at the dock, I found this to be very reassuring. A few days before our ship reached port, I came across an online review of Explore Roatan that said to ask for Cynthia, as she was a great guide. Again, I fired off an email, and again it was answered quickly. Sad news, Cynthia was out of the country, but all their guides were equally as good. The day before we arrived, my wife emailed and asked Explore Roatan if could they arrange for a different female be our guide. Quickly we received a response from Dorian Rosales, the General Manager, who replied saying that Jannette would be waiting for us at the gate to the city. We also explained that we are early birds, and we wanted to beat the crowds and would be off the ship as soon as it docked. Dorian said that would not be an issue. He also sent detailed instructions on how to navigate the port shopping area and find the exit to the city. As soon as the ship docked, we made our way through the shopping area, yay- another diamond’s international, and through a gauntlet of what seemed like a hundred desperate tour brokers. Following Dorian’s advice, we told them we had a tour already booked and they kindly left us alone. At the port exit, a man at the gate asked us who we were looking for and then he walked us directly to Jannette. She had barely sat down we had gotten off the ship so quickly. Jannette took us to her personal vehicle, a very nice and clean late model Ford Explorer and after offering us a couple of bottles of water, we were off. It was less than a twenty-minute drive to our first stop, the animal park. Along the way Jannette shared info about Roatan and the sites we were passing. Being a politics fanatic, we also discussed local Roatan politics and the relationship between Roatan and mainland Honduras. We arrived at the park and Jannette escorted us inside and signed us in as the entry fee was part of the excursion price. She met with our park guide and explained what we were looking for. He took us right to the Sloths, my wife’s favorite animal. There he told us a ton of info about the three toed shots and made the visit truly extraordinary as we were able to get up close and personal with them. Once our sloth visit was over we toured the rest of the park as our guide explained about each of the animals. Besides Sloths, park has capuchin monkeys, white tailed deer and parrots, (and a bunch of cute puppies). Going into their enclosures, both the monkeys and parrots were allowed to sit on our shoulders and one nice parrot even decided to roost on my head. Our guide explained that recently the Roatan government banned holding the sloths, and soon that ban might be extended to the parrots and monkeys. This was sad news, because the visiting the animals was one of the main reasons we picked an itinerary that included Roatan. After about an hour at the animal park, Jannette took us to visit a local rum cake factory and then a chocolate factory. So now my kitchen counter is filled with bottles of the local rum, some Roatan coffee beans, hot sauce, chocolate, and coco powder. Continuing our tour of the island, we visited the west end beaches and even took a drive through the posh area of town looking at the beautiful hillside homes. We also had discussed with Jannette that I wanted to sample something that the locals would eat as I don’t like touristy restaurants, so after a stop at a gift shop, where my wife fell in love with a beautiful mahogany trunk, which at $2500 was not coming home with us, we found ourselves eating Pastelitos for lunch in a Roatan gas station, which was exactly the snack I had been looking for. After one final photo stop at the Roatan sign, Jannette took us back to the ship, hours before it’s scheduled departure time, where we exchanged goodbye hugs. Jannette was awesome and had made us feel like visiting relatives. So, if you’re looking for a tour company that is hyper responsive, makes valuable recommendations and has awesome guides who make you feel welcome and like family, II can not recommend Explore Roatan and Jannette any higher. Five Stars.

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.

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.

April 12, 2025We just had the pleasure of Janet as our tour guide this past week while in Roatan. 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. We did a tour of the island, The Victor Bodden's sloths and monkey tour and we added on the Iguanas Park. Janet made us feel like family and stopped at a convience store for us to get snacks and drinks. We 100% recommend both animal sanctuaries we stopped at. 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! We can't wait to book with Janet again on our next trip.

March 16, 2025Had an excellent time in Roatan, with Kisha from Explore Roatan. My wife and I visited in February 2025 on a cruise and couldn’t be happier with the service. We... read more were picked up right outside of the port and taken to see sloths, monkeys, a chocolate factory, and a rum factory. Kisha even went out of her way to make sure that we tried some local food before heading back to the port. She was very informed and shared tons of knowledge about the island and local economy.

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
