Can't Wait To Return! - Wonderful Day! Everyone from ROA was lovely. The directions for meeting after leaving the ship were perfect. Our driver Joe, stayed with us at each stop. Small group, only 5 of us. We were taken to the Sanctuary where we had an expert guide that took us around. The monkeys are very friendly! They love to jump on you. They enjoyed climbing in the men with sweaty shirts!. You can't touch the sloths, but you can get up close. The parrots and Macaws are beautiful. Our next stop was the dock, where the group split up. Some went snorkeling, we opted for a beach day and took a short trip across the water to Bradys Cay. Beach chairs, umbrellas were provided and drinks were offered. One of the best excursions we have done!

Fun excursion - The directions we were given to find our guide were a bit confusing, it said to wait at the top of a hill, but they were actually waiting at the bottom of the hill. Once we got past that, our driver was very friendly and helpful. The animal experience was pretty crowded and hot, we had to wait a bit to actually encounter the animals. But once it was our turn, our guide was Caleb and he was so incredibly passionate about the animals and very informative too. He made sure everyone got plenty of time to interact with the animals, and was happy to answer any questions. Then we headed to the beach, which was a short boat ride. The beach had plenty of lounge chairs with umbrellas available, and the driver let us choose how long we wanted to spend there. Overall, it was a super fun day in Roatan and we felt like this excursion was well worth the price.

Very well organised,... - Very well organised, extremely knowledgable and friendly staff. Sloth and monkey sanctuary was great and you could see that they cared about the animals. The beach we went was great. I left my glasses at the bar and the guys came to the bus to ask if anyone had lost them and then went back over in the boat to collect them for me. Thank you all so much.

Great Excursion! - We had a very fun day with our tour guide, Brandon. He was very professional and a great driver! He answered all our questions like a pro! He was able to come up with an alternative activity because of the rain and we appreciated that. The sloths, monkeys, and parrots were fun to be with and the monkeys are hilarious! We got back to our cruise ship in plenty of time. Thank you for a fun day!

You Need To Book This Excursion!! - My husband and I were picked up at the Port by our driver, Anne, who was simply lovely. We chatted along the drive and she answered all of our questions regarding Roatan and it's history, sharing her own personal experiences. She drove us to the wildlife sanctuary which offers an incredible opportunity to get up close with sloths, macaws and monkeys. Our park guide, Harry, was friendly and knowledgeable as he guided us through the enclosures. The sloths were sweet and very photogenic, the macaws were lively, and the monkeys were extremely playful! Our group was able to take lots of pictures as we interacted with the wildlife. As the weather was not conducive for the Beach Break, Anne brought us to a little shopping plaza where we were able to do a chocolate tasting and browse merchandise created by local crafters. We did not feel rushed as Anne encouraged us to take as much time as we wished. I would highly recommend booking this tour if you want a unique experience!!

Sloth, birds and monkey adventure - It was a very simple pickup from the port. Just a small walk over the hill where the driver was waiting for us holding a sign that was easy to spot. Our driver Ann was very nice and took us to the sanctuary first. It was fascinating to watch the sloths climb small trees up close, even though you're not touching them, you are less than a foot away from them. It was a bad weather day, so we stopped instead at a small market in town to shop instead of the beach to finish the day. Had a very relaxing day.

Great experience! Update pickup instructions - Great experience with super nice staff. Sloth and monkey experience was fun for the kids. Private beach was nice and chill. Only suggestion is to update pickup instructions, it said to turn left out of the security gate from port and go 250 yards up a small hill. Didnt see a hill and pickup was to the right and mich closer which was nice but there are a lot of people at the gate and it would be bad to have someone get mixed up and go with someone that isnt with ROA.

Rainy but not ruined day in Roatan - We almost xancelled because of the weather and would have been able to do so with Herbert's help; but we ended going as the weather improved a bit. We had a good time. Herbert was very understanding and helpful, Nerlin, our driver was knowledgeable, patient and cheerful. Anthony, our guide at the sanctuary was superb.
