Excellent guides and impressive reef! - I had an excellent time with Mario and José! Mario is super knowledgeable and passionate about snorkeling. José was an excellent captain & his boat was very comfortable. I had the tour to myself. I am a pretty experienced swimmer, and Mario catered to me very well. We must have seen over 100 species of fish, and I crossed many of my list that I hadn’t yet seen during the rest of my time in Roatán. This was on the 3 stop tour. The gear they offered was top notch. Definitely worth your while!

Concierge Quality! - Dani the Owner was responsive and easy-going to communicate with. We booked a Private Tour for 4 adults for 3-spot Snorkeling (Blue Channel, Turtle Crossing, Aquarium). Mario was our cheerful and energetic guide. I had missed the email commo about Pick-up location b/c I didn't get the Internet Package on the Cruise Line. So the Port entry was pretty chaotic but we just went with the crowd flow to where the Tour Vendors were. We kept looking for the RTGA Logo (red flower) & found a sweet gal working with the company and passed us up to Mario. Now the walk to the vehicle was a bit "developing country"--like, but all good. Air conditioned vehicle, short trip to the West End; Safe Parking. Mario gave great attention to each of us, asked what we'd like to see/do, explained everything well, emphasized safety and made us comfortable with his oversight and guidance. Fins and Flotation equipment were offered but not required. The snorkeling spots were cool and Mario even dove ~50 ft to retrieve a Conch shell from the sandy bottom. Some very colorful fish and reef to see. No worries about sharks. After the water he took us to a few shops, the chocolate factory, and to a very cool private beach. Please bring Cash to Tip anyone that helps you find the RTGA folks, your Private Guide, the Boat captain, and the Choc factory educator. Btw, the Choc factory had restrooms to change into/out of swimwear. Highly Recommend this Tour Group --experienced, personable, safe, competitive pricing.

Texans in Roatan! - Absolutely incredible snorkeling adventure in Roatan, Honduras! Vanessa was amazing — so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire excursion. She made sure we felt comfortable, informed, and excited every step of the way. Our snorkel guide, Valentin, was fantastic as well! He made sure we saw the beautiful reef, pointed out amazing marine life, and kept the whole experience fun and enjoyable. This was easily a 100/100 experience for us. The staff, the reef, and the overall atmosphere were unforgettable. We will definitely be booking again the next time we’re in Roatan!

Great snorkeling in Roatan - A great day snorkeling with Mario. My wife and I have been snorkeling for 40 years and have snorkeled countless times. Pickup and drop off at the cruise port worked perfectly. Mario drove us (we were the only ones on the tour) to West End Bay, where we snorkeled at 2 stops not far off shore. Mario was very personable as a guide and a pleasure to be with. We snorkeled at 2 stops for about 25 minutes at each stop. The tour company was very flexible as to how many stops you wanted to make. The reef was in excellent shape, with an abundance of fish of various species. Water clarity was fantastic. Mario was excellent to be in the water with, pointing out various fish, squid, a lobster and living conch. He clearly loves his job and it showed. He geared his tour with us to our level of experience, but I believe that he would be equally good with beginners and the “not too” experienced. In summary, I highly recommend this snorkeling excursion and Mario as the guide. The owner, Dani, was also a pleasure to deal with. Some of thd best snorkeling that we have done in years.

Excellent! - We had an incredible time with Mario! We loved that it was a private tour. Mario was so great with my son (6) and we got to see some amazing things. The water was super calm, and every tour stop was very close so it made for easy transporation. Pick up was timely!

This tour was excellent!... - This tour was excellent! My husband and I did a one stop snorkel tour with our 7 year son and 3 year old daughter. We knew they wouldn't last long swimming and just wanted them to see fish. Our snorkel guide, Valentin, made sure we saw lots of fish. We even saw a sea turtle! The kids got tired of swimming so our driver, Vanesa picked us up and took us to a few cool stops and basically gave us a tour of some of the island. We loved this tour and will definitely book a tour through them again!!

Mario was fantástico - Mario picked us up right on time and where he said he would be. He was very careful about our safety and had a great personality and sense of humor. It felt like we were visiting family. We enjoyed beautiful snorkeling views in a little boat, felt very safe the whole time. Mario walked us by some local shops and restaurants, we enjoyed visiting the chocolate factory, and had lunch at a great spot with ocean views right on the water. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Great overall experience!! - Great experience from Vanessa meeting us and picking us up to Wilson, Benny and Gustavo taking us out. We were the only two on the boat and had such personal service. The water and weather was perfect. We saw many fish at all the three sites, the Aquarium, the Blue Channel and Turtle Crossing. Benny lead us around in the water to make sure we saw everything. When we finished Vanessa waited around for a bit while we shopped and had a taco. Great overall experience. Would definitely do this again with this group! Thank you so much!!
