Julie is the Best !! - On arrival at the cruise port, we had to walk outside the port to meet our tour guide. There were about a bazillion vendors trying to sell us a tour, but as soon as we informed each set of vendors that we had already booked a tour with another company, they were quick and helpful in pointing us to where we would find our tour guide. Upon meeting Julie, we waited a few minutes for everyone else to arrive, then we loaded into her van. The tour is limited in size by the number of people who will fit into the van, so no more than a dozen people or so. During the ride to our first destination, we learned that Julie is the owner of the (small) business. She was very personable and more than willing to answer any questions. She was happy to alter the tour in any way that the group desired, but we all agreed to the tour as planned. We loved the monkey and sloth sanctuary, and enjoyed quick stops at the chocolate shop and rum cake shop. When we let Julie know that we were looking to purchase some vanilla, she took us to a gas station/quick stop where we could by vanilla from the locals at 1/4 the price of what was being charged at the tourist shops. We then enjoyed 2 hours at a private beach (she gave us the option to go to a free public beach but our group decided on the $20 admission to the very nice beach club, which included the use of a chair, the ability to get drinks, etc). There were still hawkers, even at the beach club, but police were patrolling the beach to make sure customers were not harassed. At the end of the tour, we felt like Julie was a friend. She took great care of us, and we 1000% recommend her tour company.

Perfect First-Time Roatan Excursion for Cruisers! - Highly recommend booking this tour if you want to see the highlights of the island! It's the perfect excursion if you're on a cruise and it's your first time in Roatan.
Alanis, our tour guide, was so welcoming and friendly, and our driver did a great job getting the group around the island safely.
The meeting instructions were easy to follow. You'll meet your guide just outside the port gate. You may have to make your way past a few excursion promoters, but they're happy to point you to the right tour.
Our first stop was Manawakie Park, where we saw a sloth, macaws, and white-faced monkeys, and even got to interact with them. Afterwards, we stopped at Mayak Chocolate to try some samples. It can get crowded and a bit touristy, but the chocolate makes a great souvenir to bring back for friends. Next was the rum factory, where we sampled their rums and rum cakes. It has a beautiful overlook of the sea, so definitely take a moment to enjoy the view!
Then we got to choose between a private beach and a public beach, both in the same area. The private beach requires a day pass fee, so our group opted for the public beach, which was still great. You can rent chairs or grab a bite at the restaurant there.
After the beach, we stopped at the colorful Roatan sign, where we took group photos. It was a fun way to wrap up the day and get a great keepsake from the trip!
We made it back to the port with plenty of time to spare before the ship's departure, which is exactly what you want on a cruise excursion. Overall, this tour was a fantastic mix of wildlife, local treats, great views, beach time, and photo ops, all without the stress of planning it yourself. If you only have one day in Roatan, this is a great way to spend it. Thanks again to Alanis and our driver for a memorable day!

Our Tour Guide Phoebe Was A ROCK STAR!! - Our private tour in Roatan was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized, fun, and full of memorable experiences. We loved getting to see the monkeys and sloths up close — such a unique and unforgettable experience. Visiting the Roatan sign was also a great photo opportunity and a fun stop along the way.
What made the tour even more special was learning about the history of the island from our AMAZING guide Phoebe. It gave us a much deeper appreciation for Roatan and its culture. The rum factory and chocolate tour were also fantastic — both were fun, interesting, and delicious. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, local culture, and hands-on experiences.
The true star of the day, though, was our AMAZING tour guide, Phoebe. She was knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, and made the entire experience feel personal and special. Phoebe went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time, and her willingness to adjust the standard tour to our individual desires was so appreciated. She made us feel so welcome and took such great care of us from start to finish.
If you are considering a private tour in Roatan, I cannot recommend Let's See Roatan enough — and if you get Phoebe as your guide, you are truly in the best hands. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end!

We had a great time with... - We had a great time with our tour guide Ceci. She was very easy going and showed us around and let us ask questions. The tour was quick and didn't feel too rushed. Was a good way to see Roatan and liked having a private driver.

Amazing Roatan Tour! - Phoebe was amazing! It was just my husband and I by ourselves for the tour! We felt like private VIPs riding in her personal car. This was because we were the only 2 that booked from a Royal Carribean cruise. The other ones were from Carnival and had a group tour with another guide in the same company. It was great to tour on the West Side of the island, we have been to the East Side before. We stopped to see the monkeys and sloths, the chocolate and rum cake factories and had about an hour 1/2 for swimming on the beautiful West Bay Beach. We went to Paradise Beach on West Bay. We will definitely be back! We made additional stops at a store, a high point view of the island, and she made pictures of us at the Roatan sign. We toured along the way looking at some beautiful homes and she pointed out other things. Phoebe was patient and kind. We would recommend her and the company "Let's See Roatan" to anyone! This was an excursion we will always remember and you could tell how much Phoebe loves Roatan. Top notch superb tour with Phoebe!
