Snorkelling is a must do... - Snorkelling is a must do in Roatan, and I’m glad I chose this tour specifically. We went at a later time in the day where it wasn’t as busy on the water with other tours (2pm), so we got to see lots of beautiful fish in the water. My tour was a small group of 3 people. The crew was great and helped direct us to the beautiful marine life. They also took great photos underwater. Great tour overall, would definitely recommend.

What an amazing... - What an amazing snorkeling experience! Organization of the tour was easy, communication was great, and Mario was an awesome guide. My sister and I had a wonderful time seeing two snorkeling spots just off the West End beach. Could not recommend this experience more highly and would love to do it again in the future!

Fantastic! - What a great experience. The weather wasn't cooperative for the planned snorkel sites, so our driver (Mario, who is the snorkel pro on the regular locations) picked us up and we drove for about 20 minutes to an alternate location. Mario was fantastic, super upbeat, and just a joy to be around. We then got our gear and headed out to the alternate site, about a 10 minute boat ride. It was just my sister and I. We got lots of personal attention, all questions answered. The 2 pros who went with us were super helpful and pointed out lots of interesting things. He picked up the most beautiful conch, animal included, that I've ever seen. Of course, it was put back on the reef. The reef was gorgeous, teaming with life. It was great. Mario met us after our excursion and drove us back to our ship. The owner, Dani, was super communicative and even offered us a refund if we didn't want to go to the alternate site. I'm so glad we chose to snorkel anyway. I'll be back in April and I'm hoping to book with the company again.

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time with Valentin on our snooker adventure. Would recommend the service. Dani was communicative and great to work with and we felt safe and so happy. We saw so many fish and coral, I almost cried in my mask it was so beautiful!!

Beautiful snorkeling and great communication! - Our group of 6 adults thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We all said it was one of the most beautiful nature experiences we have ever had! Dani answered all of our questions and was available for all communication. Mario tailored the morning to all of our preferences and was very friendly and professional. Captain Reyes skippered the 6 of us safely on his charming boat. No worries whatsoever about transportation or getting back to the port on time. They took care of everything. Book with them, bring a towel, and leave the rest to them. You will have a great time!

This snorkel experience... - This snorkel experience was a ton of fun! Dani was very well organized and communicative from booking and afterward to ensure we were satisfied with our experience. There aren’t words for how beautiful the waters and reefs around Roatan are, and with Dani and his super friendly and professional team, you are in great hands.

This is the snorkeling tour you want! - Redditors told me this tour was the best, and boy were they right! Dani was super helpful getting all the logistical details figured out, and Mario was a fabulous guide taking us out in the boat :)
We saw a turtle, and an eagle ray, and so many wonderful fish! This trip was a great companion to snorkeling right off the beach, because we got to see places we couldn't have reached on our own and were shown things I don't think I would have noticed - plus Mario knew the names of all the fish
Highly recommend going on this tour!

A+ excursion! - Great trip! I highly recommend Roatan Tour Guide Association. Dani was very clear about instructions and adding a beach stop afterward. Our snorkel guide Mario was full of positive energy and very passionate about protecting the reef life. A+!

Don't waste your money. - The boat took us out and we had to swim about 20 minutes to the snorkel spot. The guy who took us out said he would take videos and send them to us at no cost. I emailed the next day and ask him to send them with no response. On our way back to the shore, the captain ran into the reef!!! After they tell us how we need to be so careful not to touch it. So so sad! We had MUCH better snorkeling on a boat day with Ruthless Roatan boat tours.
