Get your bathing suit ready (optional) and jump into a natural ocean pool in the middle of the mangroves. There really are no words to explain it, you have to see it for yourself! This is definitely a must-see location in Roatan.

  • Port Royal Road - With Port Royal Options: Rumors and mystery abounds when we start speaking of pirate treasure

  • especially around Port Royal, Roatan. During the 17th century, Port Royal was home to over 2000 pirates, with some 500 houses, even a church. Today, very little remains save for some rubble and ruins of cannon foundations on Fort Morgan Cay.

Here you can try “Giffity”, a traditional Garifuna drink. If the time is right, we might presence their traditional Punta Dancing. Punta is a traditional dance that the Garifuna do to the rhythm of their drums! It’s simply something else! You gotta see it! And if you dare, you can even join the dance!

Additional Information

Undeniably, this is one of Roatan’s most beloved tours and absolutely the most focused on nature! We’re going to guide you on a paddle boat (no paddling required by you) to explore the mangroves at Oakridge, witness the lifestyle of some of Roatan’s earliest settlers, and submerge in the island’s most pristine waters. Be sure to pack your swimsuit (though it’s optional), and prepare to plunge into a natural oceanic pool nestled within the mangroves. Describing this experience isn’t enough, it’s something you have to witness firsthand! This is sincerely a location in Roatan that you cannot afford to miss.

Amazing snorkeling! - I highly recommend booking this excursion! I did the Mangrove + Snorkeling option. Pick up and drop off was provided. Our driver/guide Patrice was AMAZING! He answered all of our questions, even stopped for us to get breakfast since we didn’t have time for eat. We had a great boat driver as well, Robert. Overall great experience! 10/10

Nice - We are chill people. We did 3 tours with Dani. Scheduled them the day before because we were winging it.. but next time maybe try and hit it a week before.. Dani was quick to reply and any concerns we had, he was there. Fair and honest guy. Had two other guys, Patrice and Andres. Pick us up. They were chill. Overall good experience. We never waited. Super punctual.

Awesome East End tour with Dani & Adres! See photos!!🙂🙃 - Wow!! What an awesome day it was!! Daniel (the owner of the company) went above and beyond to assure my East End experience was great!! Andrés, my tour guide for the day, picked me up from the hotel on time and we went to the other side of the island to explore! When we got there , we took a boat ride with the coolest captain ever (who actually looked like a reincarnation of Bob Marley😆😆) and drove to our first snorkeling spot! I was amazed by how many fishes were were able to see not even mentioning all those stunning corals! 🙂🙃🙂Then we went to Mangroves and not only rode through them but also snorkel around them!!! The next stop was a Trico bar!!! OMG!! The views!! Guys, even if you don't feel like an afternoon cocktail, you must go on the second floor of the restaurant and look at that view! 😍😍For a teaser, check our some of my photos attached to this review. Then we went to a lovely local restaurant for a lunch (right on the water). I was sipping a coconut water while laying in the hammock waiting for the most delicious lunch to be served. And yes, lunch was exceptional! Then we got back to West Bay (where I was staying) and it was an awesome day! Irina

So happy we went with ROATAN TOUR GUIDE ASSOCIATION!! - These guys are the real deal! Our day trip was private, and completely tailored to our preferences. Adrian, our tour guide, was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and just an all around good guy to hang out with all day. We especially enjoyed snorkeling off Port Royal and lunch in Punta Gorda - delicious! We were so impressed with RTGA that we booked another trip the next day! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

BEST TOUR COMPANY EVERZ - I did 5 tours with this lovingly couple. I can't praise them enough. I'm a mature women traveling solo. They treated me like Royalty I felt like part of their family. They were caring & understood my every need. Every tour I enjoyed 100%. They made sure of my safety and that each experience was amazing. They have so much knowledge. I love animals and they made sure I not only saw all the wild life but was able to interact with them I have done many tours in my life and this couple is the BEST. Their price is responsible, they are always on time. They didn't expect large tips their only expectation was I have the time of my life. They Achieved this

Fantastic! - Dani is fantastic. He is friendly, knowledgeable of Roatan and educated @ Univ of New Orleans. He also is connected very well locally and set anything up you want. In addition to the mangrove tour he set up a sloth visit, took us snorkeling and taught a group of us how to make chocolate from bean to final product. It is hard for me to imagine a better or more trustworthy guide in all of Roatan

Great Experience - Did the East End mangrove and snorkel tour with Nahomi. Had great day. Had my 19 and 22 year old sons with me. Nahomi stoped for some photo Ops and answered our thousand questions about the island and Honduras. She is a ball of knowledge. She is passionate at was she does. We started with a snorkel stop which was great! Had plenty of time to explore. Next was the mangrove tour. Very cool and the history was fascinating. We opted out of the second swim/snorkel and ended with a great lunch overlooking the bay. Was a spectacular day. Highly recommend Nahomi, Daniel and Roatan Tour Guide Association for all your excursions while on the island. Thanks for a great day Nahomi!

Great way to learn the East End - We booked a tour with Roatan Tour Guide Association. The booking process was very simple and I received a confirmation email from the company in a relatively short time. Our guide, Pablo, was great! He pointed out various places on the way to our first stop. During our stop in Punta Gorda, he had a couple of food recommendations and the one we chose was the best food we had eaten all week. He made conversation easy and entertaining. Pablo was very delightful. The rest of the tour was great too. The snorkeling and mangrove tour was well arranged. The boat guide did a great job navigating the waves and getting us to snorkeling without any stomach upset. 😉 I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that has not visited the East End for a bit of different scenery from the West side.

Amazing tour - Our trip started with Nahomi picking us up from the ferry and leaving us at our place to stay. The next day we did a private snorkeling session with Dani. Dani was super helpful and patient with us during all the snorkeling, he explained very carefully how to go around the coral, frequently asked us how we were doing, if there were any problems, he then showed us were to eat. The next day we went with Jason on a half a day trip to the mangroves, then we went to Punta Gorda and experience their carnival. During the trip Jason told us a lot about Roatan, he was really entertaining and fun. Overall I'd say Nahomi, Dani, and Jason are great tour guides, and I hope next time we are at Roatan we meet them again.
