Fun and no-stress excursion for the family! - Jessica was the sweetest and warmest guide we could have asked for during our family's excursion in Roatan. She shared some very interesting facts about the island and it's history as we made our way to the animal sanctuary and then the snorkeling. Jessica made the experience so easy and relaxing for us, so that we didn't have to worry about anything. The highlight for us was getting to mingle with the animals and the relaxing beach break. I wish we could have seen more during snorkeling but still had a nice time. The rain held off, water felt nice and beach break was enjoyable with yummy food. We even stopped at a street stand on the drive back to the port since she recommended her favorite treat, yucca cake. Very delicious!

Best Excursion of the Trip - A great individualized experience that does not waste your time waiting in lines or on other people! You get your own driver who meets you outside of the downtown area. They take you to the animal park and then wait until you're ready to go. They then take you to the island for snorkeling and beach time. The island was great with beach chairs, way less people, food, drinks, and wifi. Fast boat ride as well and nice people.
Our driver was Ernie and he was great. He really let us personalize the experience to be on our time table so we could stay places as long as we wanted.
This is a great experience for people who are on a cruise and want to get away from the crowds and large group excursions. Very worth the price and a highlight of our trip.

Jason was the best!! - Jason picked us at port, he's an excellent driver. The sloth and monkey tour was awesome! Mischievous monkeys jump on you! Then the beach break was beautiful. Finally snorkeling was wonderful! Jason made sure we were back to the ship on time. No worries! I'd ask for him again!!

Great experience and beautiful water - This experience was such a treat. We got to experience Roatan and its beautiful waters. When in the beach it never felt crowded, there was always plenty of chairs and space to hang out. Our tour guide jayjay/ JJ (not sure which spelling he goes with) was wonderful! Despite us arriving late jayjay made sure we got to get our entire experience without feeling rushed or crammed for time. In addition, we got to stop at a restaurant to get some native food. Honestly, the whole experience was a treat and jayjay was a great tour guide. We hope to return soon and get to have jayjay as our tour guide again.

Don't Miss This Excursion - We were provided a private SUV with a driver, who was flexible to add a stop at the Chocolate Factory, even though it was not listed on the excursion. She was very friendly, informative, helpful and mindful of the time for each activity and the return to the ship. The Monkeys and Sloth experience was terrific. It is a once-in-a- lifetime experience to be so close and personal to the animals. The private beach club we were taken to next, Brady's Cay, was perfect; white sandy beaches, plenty of lounge chairs with mats and umbrellas, full bar and lunch available, waiter tended to us at our beach chairs, cocktails served in a pineapple if desired, Caribbean music playing, and clean bathroom and shower facilities. Finally, we were taken on a boat for snorkeling. The boat and snorkeling staff were very nice and concerned with our safety. The snorkeling equipment was modern, new, and clean. There was not much to see at the reef, but the boat ride, the water, and the experience was still very enjoyable.

Snorkeling and Sloths! - This is a great deal if you want to go snorkeling at the reef and get up close and personal with the animals. The animal viewing was not at the park, which is what we wanted and hoped, but we enjoyed the time at AJs just the same. Who doesn't want to get up close and personal with sloths??? The snorkeling was fantastic, and they tailored it to our wants as we were the only ones on the excursion. We did NOT want to spend ANY time at the beach area - it was super commercial and enclosed and touristy - so they let us stay out snorkeling longer. We were so lucky to have been the only ones on this particular tour; otherwise we would have been disappointed. The guides were fantastic and very accommodating to our interests.

Great, frustrating, good - Our guide was very nice. Told us a lot about Roatan. The animal sanctuary she took us to, was great. Clean, the animal handlers were knowledgeable and friendly. Our only complaint was that when we got to the beach club, she said we would only be there 20mins then we would get on the boat to go out snorkeling. After 45mins, she came back and told us it would only be 20 more minutes. 30 minutes goes by, we are hungry, so we ordered food. As soon as we got our food, she came and told us the boat was there. We had to leave our food. Somewhere, someone had a communication breakdown that cost us hot food. And then we felt like our snorkeling part was rushed. The boat driver had to make several attempts at the bouy which, I'm sure, cost us time. They were all really nice, but we were barely gone an hour.

Nice Excursion to see some Mischievous Monkeys! - Overall we had an enjoyable adventure. We were able to find the tour company easily after getting off the port. We walked a few more minutes to get to their van and we were on our way. Our drive Enrique was friendly and informative. Our first stop was to see the animals - guinea pigs, tropical birds (which go on your arm!), sloth and monkeys. Tour doesn’t take too long but you do get to interact with each. Next stop was the beach club where you can swim, eat and then snorkel. The communication of when you are going snorkeling could be better as it wasn’t clear how much time we had to eat and swim. I believe a few people had the same issue as a few families had to being their food on board the snorkel boat and eat it quickly. Definitely an improvement point for them. The food and drink cost pretty much the same as any tourist spot. I believe most food items were $15-$20USD. The snorkel adventure was fun, we felt it was the right amount of time given. Some nice coral and fish to see. Also it was nice that as we moved along the boat followed. Once we finished that our driver brought us back in plenty of time to get back on the cruise ship. I would recommend this adventure.
