Great tour! - We arrived at our meeting point an hour early (due to a misunderstanding on our part). It was raining, so Wilson, our guide, offered to start early for us. Our group was small because we were only picking up one other couple from the other port. He drove us up to the animal park where we got to hold the sloths. It was amazing! We then got the other couple and went on the island tour and to the beach. After we dropped the other couple off at their port, Wilson took us back up to the animal park so we could finish our tour there. The animal park wasn’t originally on our schedule, but it was a highlight of our trip! Thank you Wilson, for taking such great care of us!

Highly recommended guide - Kislin was our tour guide and he was very informative throughout the tour. He started by what we were interested in and wanted to see, explaining everything. He was very knowledgeable of the area, patient and enjoyable to be with on our 4 hours tour. He is highly recommended.

Best tour guide ( Kislin) - Our tour guide Kislin was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! He asked us at the beginning what we were most interested in and invited us to ask as many questions as we wanted! He gave us insights as to what life on the island is like, the culture and some history as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and thank Kislin for an experience which we will not forget!

Great Tour. Ask for Whitney. - Directions to pickup point were excellent. We were on the tour with one other couple. Whitney was our guide and he was fantastic. Lots of knowledge of the island and a great personality and let us do things at our own pace.

Had a great time! - I would recommend this excursion. Our driver, Tommy, was an excellent host and driver. We had 4 in our group and linked up with 2 other people for the tour. The only downfall was that the vehicle was very tight for 6 passengers and a driver. Beach was fantastic!

Not as expected - We arrived at the meeting point: they told us we have to wait 75 minutes for two other people. Finally they sent us with Liquor ( name he gave us) a good guy but surely more a driver than a tour guide. We were in the bus a very long distance and arrived at a place where they said it is mandatory to buy something to have the right to take pictures. After this a long time with the bus to go at a chocolate factory ( interesting but not so) . After that we were drive to a beach at Las Palmas very close to our ship. The guy said that we have to pay for chairs and umbrella ( in the description it was included). We said no and finally we didn’t have to pay. The water was brown, not transparent at all. We were not happy at all about this tour.

My first experience using Viator & possibly my last. - Having our guide take us to a beach club that raised their price & wouldn’t honor the trip description because the Club was. Ow “private” ( Sol y Mar ) on Roatan & we were forced to return to our ship ruining our day in Honduras.
