To meet our guides, when you exit the ship, look for the double stairway going to the second floor and make a right under it. You will find the tour booth section, they will aggressively try to sell an excursion, just tell them you bought one online. Once there go to the end of this section and make a left toward the exit gate. Once at the exit gate you will find several people with signs. We will be waiting with the EXPLORE ROATAN sign for you.

Light, comfortable clothing, a swimsuit, and walking shoes are recommended. Don’t forget to bring an extra towel!
On Sloth Parks
Sloth parks are very popular tourist destinations and they can get full very quickly. It is sometimes best to disembark early and beat the lines.
Preserving the Reef
We encourage all our visitors that will jump in the water to protect the reef by using reef-safe sunscreen and avoiding touching or damaging coral. Roatan’s reef is for all of us to enjoy, that includes future generations.

This excursion is perfect for nature lovers! You will get the opportunity to meet a sloth, play with monkeys, let the birds fly around you, and much more…
We meet you at the port for pick-up, 1 hour after your cruise docking time. (If you booked a private excursion, you can disembark earlier or later. Our team is ready as soon as your ship docks.) Head to the Exit Gate and look for the Explore Roatan sign.
Our first stop will be The View at Coxen Hole, where you can take photos with a magnificent panoramic backdrop and browse through various local souvenir stands.
Next, we will head to Victor Bodden’s Sloth and Monkey Park, where you’ll see and meet a sloth while playful monkeys surround you. Macaws and parrots will fly to you for a little attention, and you can also learn about the island’s unique wildlife, including the “island rabbit” and other endemic species.
Afterward, we’ll visit The Chocolate Factory, where you’ll enjoy free samples of several delicious artisanal chocolate flavors. Then we’re off to West End Village, Roatan’s liveliest avenue.
Be prepared for breathtaking ocean views at The Rum Factory, where you can explore over 50 flavors of rum and indulge in a variety of rum cakes.
We’ll make a stop at the colorful Roatan Sign, a perfect photo opportunity. You’ll also have the chance to try local food and drinks at various restaurants along the way. Simply let your guide know your preferences, and they’ll recommend the best options.
After a fun-filled day, we’ll return you to the ship, ensuring you arrive at least 2 hours before departure. Our goal at Explore Roatan is to ensure your complete satisfaction throughout the tour.
For added convenience, we offer the option to make your excursion private for just $10 US extra per person. This means you won’t share your ride with another group, allowing you to enjoy the tour at your own pace. This add-on will be available during the booking process.
