Exceptional experience!! - This was the best cruise excursion we booked for our spring break trip. We got off the boat early and got to the stand around 8:10 local time. We were able to have a private ATV experience with a very attentive guide and lots of photo opportunities. We even stopped at an overlook to take more photos and ask questions about the island. The horseback riding experience was wonderful. The guides were very experienced with helping each guest feel comfortable in their horse. They also stopped to take photos of us on our horses!! We never got hounded to purchase anything so that was very nice. Very safe and well organized!!

Fun Day - Our tour guide on the ATV was amazing weather was beautiful kids loved it. The horseback riding was fun

AMAZING! - We had such a GREAT time on this excursion! Everyone from our driver picking us up to our guides were so great, friendly, and professional!! We would definitely use them again!

One of a kind experience - Booked this trip instead of the official cruise line excursions, and wound up with a private adventure for just the two of us which was an amazing bonus. Expected a little more information on Roatan and/or the rainforest or some of the plant/animal life we were seeing (the guides mostly talked among themselves throughout), but the views and experience of riding a horse through the water more than made up for it. Both ATVs and horses were incredible. Highly recommended!

A great Experience!!! - My Family had an awesome time with ATV and Horseback riding. Henry was great guide for us on the ATV’s. We enjoyed the twist and turns. Great views by the water. Horseback was amazing as well. Riding thru the water a can’t miss. Definitely a Must do when you come to Mahogany Bay.

Rain only enhanced our experience - Horseback Riding and ATV was out best excursion this trip. It was pouring rain the whole morning but the team still made every experience incredible. Omar was out ATV guide and deserves special mention for his clear love of the island and sharing with us more about the people, culture and history of Roatan interspersed amongst thrilling (and extremely muddy) ATVing. We LOVED it all!

Excitment and Adventure from the Jungle to the Beach and Back. - We have been to Roatan multiple times over the last 15 years and we have always gone to the West End beach area and had a great time snorkeling and enjoying the day. We decided we wanted to try something different this year. Because we have always felt safe, and the locals have always been helpful, and most have spoken english, and the island is so small and you can get back to port so quickly, we were very comfortable booking an excursion from a Non-cruise company which we knew would save a lot of money. We chose Xplore Roatan based on some of the reviews and we were not disappointed. We have ridden horses on the ocean before in another country, but the ride was short and the scenary was not great. But first, from the moment we booked, Xplore communicated via email and then text to make sure we knew where to meet up the day of the excursion. We had on board wifi, they even texted the night before the excursion to make sure of the time for pickup. When we got to Port, we were instructed to meet on the main street outside of the port terminal (Royal Caribbean is farther away from the excursion than the other ships). After making it through the gauntlent of people selling things, there are a million taxi drivers offering their services right outside the gate. They asked where we wanted to go and we told them we were looking for Xplore Roatan and one of the nice young men walked us right over to where the person was holding up the company sign. The company rep had our name on his list, so I knew I was where I was supposed to be. A few minutes later, a different local young man did the same thing for another couple from our ship and that completed our group and we were put in a small tour bus and off to our adventure. Much easier than I thought it would be. Again, the locals in Roatan have always been so nice...more to come on that. We chose to do horseback riding first because it had rained hard in the morning and our guide told us we would likely get muddy on the ATV's and would probably enjoy ridiing the horses more before we were muddy. The horses were well behaved, easy to ride, and if you don't have any experience, will follow the leader, if you have any experience, they will do what you want them to do with the most gentle of commands. The ride through the jungle WAS GORGEOUS! It lasted about 20-30 minutes to the beach, and was a narrow and windy path that was fun to ride. It was under the canopy of the jungle the entire time. You were immersed in the jungle and it was awesome. Bug spray is a good idea to keep down the horse fly's and other insects. We arrived at the beach, took some photos, then rode down into the water and spent about 10 minutes riding in the ocean, again, a beautiful experience. There is something magical about feeling the water lap against you while riding the horse. Wear water shoes, or you can just ride barefoot which is what we did. Then back up through the jungle to where we started. In all, about 1 hour of pure bliss. We did a similar excursion on St. Martaan, and this was better by far. There were only 4 of us in the group and it was intimate and slow paced and fantastic. Then it was time for the ATC portion. For this part, we were added to another group that was just getting ready to go out which was not a big deal. We didn't book with the other couple that we joined up with from our ship so we weren't trying to keep a small group. There was about 10 of us total plus the guides. After a (Really quick) safety lesson on ATV's, we were off riding back down through the jungle again. This time again up and down winding paths and tracks that were decently aggressive if you wanted to be. You were allowed to slow down and go super slow if you needed to, or hang back a little and rip it up a bit if you wanted. The guides were there if there was an issue, but they pretty much let people do what they were comfortable doing. It had just rained and there were some big puddles and a lot of loose ground. It was a playground for fishtails and mud flinging. We rode all the way down to the beach, stopped to take some photos and take a break, then jumped back on and rode back up to where we started. Again, about 45mins to 1 hour total. This excursion was by far one of the most fun times my wife an I have had in a long time. We are both in our early 50's. We have zip lined, snorkeled, and other things like that. It's been 20 years since we rode ATV's and 7 or 8 years since we rode horses. Xplore Roatan knocked this one out of the park for us. Back to locals and how great they are. The other couple had never been to Roatan. They really wanted to go to the beach. So they asked if the driver could take us somewhere else instead of back to our ship. Xplore said they would allow that as part of the package, but then transportation back to the ship would be on our own which is totally fair and understanable. We asked our Driver if he would take us to West End and then would he be willing to come back and pick us up and take us to our ship for all aboard? He said that for $30 total, he would drive the four of us to West End, wait with us, and then drive us back to the ship at whatever time we were ready. I LOVE ROATAN!!! Thank You XPplore Roatan. you made our day so much fun. I surprised my wife with this excursion because it was our 30th anniversary and we wanted to be young kids again. You totally make it happen for us. Great job.

Amazing experience! The... - Amazing experience! The tour guides were very kind And took lots of photos for us I would definitely recommend this excursion.

Meh - Not a great experience. Horses were malnourished and skinny. Horses also seemed to have a lot of indigestion problems, other than just a normal bowel movement. Over worked and under fed. As far as the ATVs, one stalled out 4 times, causing us to have to stop and start. At one point we didn’t know if it would even start again. One also had the whole chain come off, which was quickly fixed but should have never happened. Everyone was nice but wouldn’t waste money here.

Beware! - Horses looked underfeed. Left us sitting for an hour after our excursion before we could go back to our port. ATV's broke down 1-7 times for several of our members. No apologies for ATV's not working. No apologies for not having a driver. Very much a waste of money. Be advised.
