Experienced guide through the mangroves. Oh and that one place. - First and foremost a class act with experienced guides. The small group of 4 chose a price tour of the mangroves and cultural center to better understand the island. Picked up from the the cruise port by a charismatic guide named Renny. Ask for him by name, I’m sure there are other great guides but Renny is a sure thing. Clean cool vehicle took us across some bumpy roads carefully until we met our captain for the mangrove tour. 2 minutes later we are comfortably on the water heading in. It was a very immersive experience. Something many of us don’t get to experience. Soon we came out on an opening where a small 15x15 floating bar sat quietly with local music on the radio. “Hey captain, can we grab a drink?” 90 minutes later, a few drinks, good music and a couple stories to last for years we bid the bar goodbye and headed by through the mangroves. Seemed little brighter on the way back. (This was the best bar I’ve been to after being on a day 4 of 7 of a 5star cruise) the cultural center was very nice, simple and educational. Started with a beach front local meal, please ask for the donuts (thank me later) and a short distance to the cultural center where the history of the local people is explained. Then a sample of the local medicinal juice/booze. Not great but part of the experience. Amerce yourself. Renny got us back to the ship on time despite us dragging our feet at every turn. Go with the sure thing. Roatan 5 stars. Go small if you can. The flexibility is worth it. And soak it ALL IN.

An experience that will leave you coming back to Roatan - First and Foremost I want to say thank you very much and Aloha! to the Roatan Five Stars Family! You all made my vacation memorable. So let me start with Luis and Mary for being accommodating on my requests for a specific Tour Guide (Reny), your communication to ensure my 3 seperate tours went smoothly, your communication and services provided is above and beyond expectations. Second, to Reny my tour guide I had a blast for the 3 day tours. Starting with Little French Keys combo tours (tour 1), ATV Tour with George my ATV hero!!! I enjoyed every minute of the muddies of the back jungles of the hidden paths of Roatan. George You rock! Then Reny took me to the Rum factory to checkout the Rums. I purchased 4 bottles, there one of a kind rums, you gotta take a bottle home it is a must. and Chocolate Factory (Tour 2), and Finally the Mangrove Tunnels, Henry the boat captain was very knowledgeable about the community, and he even stopped by the little tiki bar along the way so I can have a Sallidiva (Cheers Henry!) and Finally Garifuna Cultural tour. There is so much to learn about the Garifuna community. We had lunch at “Tomato” restaurant . Reny and I learned why the restaurant name is Tomato, it is named after the owner, he loves eat tomatoes,.You have to try the ceviche!! It is very very delicious. Reny what can I say but you are the heart of Roatan in my opinion. I had a blast with you, you are quite a charmer and from what I can see “Everybody Loves Reny” . If you are looking to book tours, you don’t have to look elsewhere, Roatan Five Stars will treat you like family. Thanks again to Luis, Mary, Reny, George and Henry and the Roatan Five Stars team for a great experience!" Till Next Time Aloha. Roatan you have my heart.

Great experience - The whole experience was outstanding. The initial booking and feedback was very professional and reassuring. Meeting our guide (Casey) outside the port was easy. We felt very safe and looked after for the whole trip. Casey was a star. The mangrove water taxi with Capt Alex was an amazing.unique experience. We felt we learned a lot about Roatan and now have a desire to go back. Finally we were back at the port in plenty of time. Highly recommended

Amazing Luis of Roatan Five Stars - We spent approximately 7 hours with Luis traversing the island, which included the Mangrove and a Garifuna Culuraltural performance. Luis did a fantastic job throughout the day, but it was not until we were forced to address a guest's medical emergency that his humanitarianism shined through. Not only did we detour to a medical facility, but he acted as the translator, then dropped us off at our hotel and returned to pick up the guests. He was AMAZING! I tip my hat to you, Senor Luis.

Roatan Mangrove Tunnels and East End Culture Villages Tour - Average At Best - We did the "Roatan Mangrove Tunnels and East End Culture Villages Tour". Our guide was great, but there wasn't anything cultural about it. They basically drove us to Oak Ridge where we got on a boat for the mangrove tour (which was nothing special), then they brought us to lunch, then to Punta Gorda. At Punta Gorda we just drove through the town - zero culture.
