Victor and Nacho were... - Victor and Nacho were great guides! Victor communicated well prior to the excursion. He was personable, knowledgable, and we felt safe the entire time. The sloth sanctuary was awesome! We got to see and hold many different animals, and the dune buggy experience was the topping on the cake. What a great (and muddy) good time!

Wonderful Day with Rosa - We booked this excursion through NCL as part of a cruise to Roatan.
I am not sure who the provider was, but our primary tour guide was Rosa - who was so great and our driver for the day was Roger and WOW was he great.
How he navigated the roads in that bus is beyond me!
Our drive from the port to the Mayan Eden Eco Park was maybe 15 minutes?
Our guide at the Park was Kevin, who really did a great job.
Everyone in our group got to feed monkeys, hold a sloth, see beautiful flowers and birds and for those that wanted, hold a massive Boa Constrictor.
From there we went to the Buggy Park and our group was Team 4 and those guys were WORKING!!!
It was incredibly fun, but they kept us safe and moving the whole time.
From there we went to the Las Palmas Beach Resort to hang out, have food, swim in the ocean.
All in all it was a great day!
After all that fun, we were back to the port with about an hour before needing to get on the boat, so time to hang in the Roatan port area.
Not sure what other people did, but I can't imagine a better excursion than this one.
Fun tip, if you want your passport stamped bring it with as you are able to get that in the port.

Favourite day of our holiday! - We had a wonderful day thanks to Lexi our tour guide! Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our day. Lexi was funny, friendly,very knowledgeable about Roatan and was so helpful all day. We got to meet some adorable sloths and monkeys to start the day. Next it was on to the dune buggies, be warned you will get muddy but it was worth it we had a blast. To finish off the day we spent about two hours at a beautiful beach club with all the amenities,showers,change rooms,beach chairs and shady areas. The water was perfect,warm ,calm and clear. We had some delicious drinks and lunch. Highly recommend and ask for Lexi if you can.

Wonderful day with Lexi! - We had a wonderful day! Lexi was our guide and he made the trip so much fun! We loved visiting the animals. Edwin took great care of us there. We had a blast at the ATV park. Bryan was our guide and he made it super fun. Bring a change of clothes and wear water shoes, etc so you can spray the mud off. We ruined some of our shoes. Highly recommended!

Sloths + Dune Buggies = great experience - The sanctuary tour was great and the doom buggy experience was very fun and exciting.. We skipped the beach resort and went shopping instead. Oscar was a great guide!

You’ll have a blast! - Kristen our tour guide/driver was AMAZING! So sweet and so knowledgeable. We miss her already 💕
Noel from the zoo was the best! Funny guy, welcoming and also so knowledgeable 🐒
I forget the names of the two gentleman from the ATV park that helped us. (Below is a photo, please give them all the props.)
Unfortunately, we had several problems with the machines and these guys worked it out each time very quickly! (Ex. the breaks went out going downhill and they acted fast to ensure my husbands safety!)
To the ATV park, please do make sure the machines are tended to. My husband cycled through about 3 ATV’s. The alignment was off on most of them, the brakes cut out on another machine and one just stopped turning on.
Thats not on our guides, however! They were amazing!!
The beach resort was ok, nice and quiet. Seemed a bit run down. The food was very dry and not super interesting. Drinks were ok. The server we had was also ok.

Fun with animals but might skip the rest - Seeing soths and monkeys was great. ATVs and dune buggies weren't well maintained and kept breaking down but was still fun.
Private beach was more of a pay place that driver threw in and they harassed you to buy something constantly, which was all ridiculously priced.

Book it through the cruise company - I would not book a private non cruise line excursion in Roatan again. This meeting place was outside the protection of the cruise line security and we did not feel safe. Our driver no showed initially, and we had to arrange other transportation to the buggy rides. Verizon Cell phone service did not work to call the company. Another excursion operator tried to call the excursion transportation for us and no answer. The content of the excursion was fun, and I would recommend the actual activities if booked through a cruise company.
