ROA FOR THE WIN ! - Staff, tour, and views were all AMAZING ! The people who work with ROA all care very deeply about the ocean. Our guide, Joseph, was amazing, made sure to point out multiple different species and corals. Our driver, Ann, was super sweet and reliable. I also got the pleasure to meet Herbert Woods, he was super kind and even gave us some extra information about the things they do to protect the ocean as well educated us on some of the corals. This organization is amazing! If you are looking for a place to snorkel in Routan, I do not doubt for a second that this is one of the best places/organizations to snorkel !

100% best company and excursion in Roatan! - We had the most amazing experience on this excursion, the best from the entire 7 day cruise. We booked directly through ROA and I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you’re cruising. Everything from our driver Nerlin, to the excursions were very organized. Our captain was Will, and our AMAZING snorkel guide was Uriel. They allowed the strong swimmers to snorkel with him, and the others who needed life vests, noodles or more help with another guide so its friendly to all levels of swimmers and snorkeling experience. I will 100% return, and anytime I visit Roatan will book through ROA. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! You guys were THE BEST!

The Perfect Roatan Day! (highly recommend) - This experience was easily one of the highlights of our entire trip! From start to finish, everything was seamless, memorable, and full of unexpected personal touches that made the day feel like it was made just for us. We started off at Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth Hangout, and it was such a joy! Seeing the sloths up close was magical, but the real fun kicked in when we got to feed the monkeys and baby birds—they were so playful and energetic, we couldn’t stop smiling! The staff was friendly and made sure we had time to enjoy each interaction. After that, we went straight to snorkeling, where we were paired with an amazing instructor who made the whole experience smooth and safe. Once again we had the whole experience to ourselves which we were beyond lucky! When my boyfriend’s goggles didn’t fit, the instructor kindly offered his own, which was such a thoughtful gesture that really stood out. Once we wrapped up snorkeling, I had a sudden craving for ceviche and Norma, our wonderful driver, went above and beyond. Not only did she take us to a spot known for the best ceviche (which we basically had all to ourselves again!), but she also gave us a mini tour around town and helped us find great places to shop. The day didn’t end there. Norma took us to a quiet beach with stunning views and local shops all around. Before we headed back to our cruise ship, she even gave us a scenic ride around the other side of the island breathtaking doesn’t even begin to describe it. Booking with ROA (Roatan Ocean Adventures) was so easy, and the whole day ran smoothly with no long waits. If you’re visiting Roatán, do not miss out on this tour and thanks to Norma and the ROA team, it truly felt like a custom VIP experience!

Must do in Roatan!! - 11/10 experience for me and my husband on our honeymoon. We booked this excursion after a last minute itinerary change on our cruise ship and it went above and beyond our expectations. They picked us up right outside the cruise port at a time convenient for us and were soooo friendly. Our snorkle tour guide was knowledgeable and showed us as much as possible of the beautiful reef and ocean life. Our driver was incredible and even took us to a local reaturaunt when we said we wanted to try authentic honduran food. I will definitely book with them again if we come back to this beautiful island.

MUST DO!! - Me and my wife made a stop here on our honeymoon, this excursion was amazing!! Totally recommended, everyone is so nice and insightful. They made us feel very welcomed and special. Our snorkel guide Joseph was the best! He took his time with us showing us all the fish and sights we would have missed otherwise. Totally recommend this excursion it’s a must, for the price and value it’s worth every penny! Amazing vibes and great time!

So good! They definitely took care of us. - They were very professional. They warned us before hand that we wouldn't be able to hold the sloths anymore bc of new laws and that the water was too rough to go to the usual place. But we got to Interact with the sloths and monkeys and it was lovely. Totally worth it. Even without holding them. They were adorable. And there were like 4 of them. So either on our cruise went to a place where there was only 1 sloth for a bunch of people to see. I loved this place and that it was quiet and not crowded. They also took us to a nice little private island that wasn't crowded at all. It was clean and beautiful with tons of open beach loungers and wait staff to order food or drinks if wanted. They let us borrow snorkel gear to use at the beach. They did take a couple others from our group to a shallow area to snorkel and they said it was great. We didn't go with just bc we had younger kids. And we were enjoying our time on the island. Our driver Mariah or Maria was also wonderful. At one point she took us to a really clean gas station to get cheaper drinks and snacks than was was offered just outside of the sloth sanctuary. Overall, great experience. The company was wonderful!

Top Notch Experience - Fantastic excursion! Our driver picked us up right outside the port entrance and chatted about the local area and many other topics as we drove out to the sanctuary. We loved visiting with the sloths and monkeys, and gave them snacks provided by our guide. Next, our driver took us to board the boat for drift snorkelling. This was an amazing experience as we were able to snorkel for quite a distance without having to backtrack. Our snorkelling guide was very knowledgeable about all of the marine life we saw and we could tell how passionate he was about sharing it. When he took us into the shallows we were fortunate to see a big eagle ray swimming a short distance away. This was one of the top snorkelling experiences I've had. Highly recommend!
