Simply book this. - This experience is great. We were on a cruise and the pick up was smooth -Victor met us outside the gate as the communication prior to the event said. The hydrobike was a fun time and easy (I am not a work-out person. I would say you have to have some minor stamina but no one in our group had issues. The seat is fairly large as well). Then off to snorkel. We were a small group so there was plenty of room to swim and view the reef. Great views of fish and the reef. Then we were dropped off at the beach. Victor allowed us as much or little time as we liked. Traffic and busyness can dictate the time on the beach. The beach had food and drinks available for purchase. Victor then took us back to the pier inside the gate. There honestly was no down-side to this excursion. Definitely book this with confidence. (I would recommend bringing extra cash for tips, if you bless people with them - bike, snorkel and beach all had different people involved)

Riding the hydro bike was such a fun and unique way to explore the water, and the snorkeling was incredible with vibrant coral reefs and so many beautiful fish. Ending the experience at a stunning beach was the perfect way to relax and take it all in. Victor and Alex were both fantastic—friendly, professional, and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. We would highly recommend booking with this company and would be happy to go again with either of these gentlemen.

Bikes are cool - We were picked up from the cruise terminal by a nice young man ( Alex) who drove us to the bikes while telling us about the island. We were the only people they had so yay! private tour for us. At the pier we met our guide, Josh. After a quick visit exclamation we were off. The bikes were a lot of fun and easy to use. The water is nice and clear. You paddle around a bay like area protecting by one of the biggest reef. Josh explained the area, reef and fish life. Once back on dry land, you are taken out to said reef for snorkeling time. I didn’t do it (scaredy cat) but my husband did and really liked it. Guides were great Jordan and his crew were very attentive. One led our group, one took up the rear so everyone stayed together and safe. Lots of beautiful fish and colors. Only downside was jellyfish. Several people and a couple of kids started getting stung. Jordan used the boat to circle around the group which churned the water to chase them away. It worked. They were patient and the experience lasted probably a half hour in the water. More than enough time to be tired out. After you take a boat to French Cay (3 minute ride) and have about 2 hours to use they’re small beach. There were loungers, food and drinks. They take credit cards. Your free to take the water taxi at any time back to the shore. We just made it before the rain started. We met up with Alex at the agreed upon time and he drove us back to our ship. We were out probably 4 1/2 hours.
Overall a nice day. All the staff were great and we had a positive experience. Kids would enjoy this excursion.

Super fun and Roatan Honduras - This was a really fun experience. The team that helped us with very friendly and helpful and guided us every step of the way. They explained everything beforehand and stayed with us. Hydro bikes and the reef snorkel were definitely one of the best excursions I've been around. The only issue was with the private island retreat part as there was an unprecedented number of cruise ships in the area and they funneled a whole bunch of people to the beach so that part was not really worth it, but we would still do it again anyway and highly recommend this excursion for the whole family.

Don't miss the hydro bike experience in Roatan - The hydro bike tour was better than I imagined even in the rain. The snorkeling was great as well. We saw a green moray eel! All the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Our drivers (married... - Our drivers (married couple) were absolutely amazing! So personable, fun, knowledgeable, and helpful. Truly the best ride back to our ship. We absolutely loved them! They were always there to assist and available to answer any questions and met us at the end of each part of the tour. The weather was a bit rainy but were able to get the hydrobikes and the snorkeling complete before the rain. The Hydrobikes were great and we saw so many beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was an awesome experience and would highly recommend.

Great day in Roatan! - It was raining when our cruise ship arrived at Coxen Hole. We weren’t sure we would be able to do anything but went ahead and met our driver. He contacted Mark and they made alternate arrangements to start our day. We went to the sloth/monkey farm and the weather had cleared so we continued on to the Hydro-Bikes. After that our driver, Alex, took us to the local brewery! 12/10 stars to everyone associated with our visit!

Hydrobike and snorkeling - Four of us just got back from the hydrobike/snorkeling/beach tour and it was absolutely amazing. The hydrobikes were easy to pedal and Alex was a great guide! Next was the snorkeling along the reef. Some of the best snorkeling we have done. Saw so many colorful fish and beautiful coral. Loren was a great guide, and Larry was our friendly captain. Also got to meet the owner Mark. Last but not least was our wonderful driver Victor. He was a pro and so nice to talk to. You must go on this adventure!

Great day on hydro bikes and snorkeling! - This was a great tour. Only myself, my partner and another friend were together on this and apparently no one else on our cruise boat signed up for this one so we had our tour guide, Wanda all to ourselves. This was terrific as she drove us first to the hydro bikes which were a lot of fun and very easy to use, then to our snorkeling tour which was incredible (we were in the water for about 40 minutes about 15 ft above the reef, our guide pointed out so many lovely fish and it was kind of magical seeing so many lovely species), and finally she met us at the beach we were dropped out at to be there for us when we wanted to get back to the ship. It was a great tour and we'd highly recommend doing it with this tour!
