AMESOME AWESOME - AMAZING. I already gave one review. Daniel was a great tour guide and did a great job navigating the pot holes. But the trip was worth it. The Mangrove Forest was an amazing, relaxing, calm ride past houses, large and small, and small bars and cafes. Daniel knew everything. Don’t pass up this tour.

AWESOME AWESOME worth 10 stars - Amazing. Daniel was SO knowledgeable and pleasant to talk with. He knew everything about Roatan and its relationship with the mainland. The road was very bumpy but the trip was worth it. At Oak Ridge boarded small skiff and headed into the lagoon and the mangrove forest. On the shore were big houses, small houses, fishing boats, small yachts, small bars and cafe’s. But the mangrove forest was awesome. SO peaceful and calm. We could have spent all day in there. Highly recommend Daniel and his wife.

Outstanding afternoon exploring the East Side with our guide Luis Diaz! Time well spent. - 1. The Punta Gorda cultural center. the history of the Garifuna people is so interesting. The women at this center did such a great job of telling their story 2. the Mangrove Tunnel boat ride. the mangroves and the history of the tunnels are fascinating and Capt Alex was so welcoming and fun! 3. Our tour guide for Luis Diaz was engaging, informative, and fun. He is a native of the island and extremely knowledgeable.

Save your $$$!!! - This was a terrible excursion. I took it because I wanted to see where my family roots were, but the tour guide had practically no insight to offer about the island of Roatan and/or Oakridge and Punta Gorda. I was not impressed one bit by the mangroves trip. It was wasted $$$.
