Spectacular guides and tour - I could not recommend this tour more. Larry and Josh were incredibly helpful, kind, informative and treated us like family. Larry gave us a tour of the island on the way to and from the site and even stopped to let us take a picture at the ROATAN sign. Josh educated us on the bikes and the gear for snorkeling. It was our first time doing both and our experience was spectacular with his lead. Our tour was very private and special thanks to these two gentlemen. Thank you so much guys!

Our favorite excursion of our trip! - My 15 year old son and I (46 year old mom) picked this excursion for the Roatan stop on our Princess cruise. It was FABULOUS! We both agree that it was our favorite excursion/port of the trip, hands down. The directions to the meeting area were clear, and we found our guide with no issues. Turns out we were the only two who booked hydrobikes with this company that day, so we basically had a private tour! The hydrobikes were VERY easy to use, and could go surprisingly fast with relatively little effort. We loved checking out the bay this way - peaceful and quiet. For the snorkeling portion of the tour, there were a few more people (no more than a dozen). It was "drift" snorkeling, so basically we let the current carry us down the beach for about an hour, and saw all kinds of cool things (lobsters, tropical fish, conch, starfish, etc.). We finished the day at a private island, where drinks were cheap, the water was refreshing, and comfy padded chairs were abundant. To top it all off, our guide Tyler was great! We felt like we really got to know some of the history and culture of Roatan, not just the sanitized/commercialized version you'd get if you went on an 80-person organized tour through the cruise ship. We would do this excursion again in a heartbeat.

Great way to see island - Great way to see island, easy to add animal sanctuary to this. Beach was picturesque. Water bikes were fun way to get on water. Saw squid, starfish, barracudas, and several types of fish and corral life. Would recommend! Mark, Robert and Josh were great guides!

Highly recommended! - Excellent experience! The instructions for getting out of the port were very helpful. Once we found our guide, we took a ~20 minute drive to their facility. There the kids were able to see and interact with several species of monkeys (which they loved!). Once the hydro bikes were ready they helped us get fitted and comfortable. Our kids weren’t quite tall enough to ride alone, but hey had a tandem bike for my wife and I to ride with both our kids sitting on the pontoons which worked out great. After the hydro bikes we boarded a boat to head out snorkeling. After that we had the option to visit a private beach area, which we opted out of due to time and headed back to the ship. Overall the guides and driver were great and I’d highly recommend this excursion!

Hydrobikes - a MUST Try! - This was the highlight of our trip! I don't know where else you can find hydrobikes and the experience didn't disappoint. This was a fun, unique and relaxing excursion w/ beautiful scenic views -- a must try! The bikes were good quality and easy to ride. The snorkeling was well managed and the private beach was so nice. The best pina colada I ever had!
From booking to day of the excursion, it's been absolutely the most wonderful experience! I was a bit nervous venturing into the city (safety concerns, logistics, etc), and am thankful for the owner, Mark Bodden, who is truly a gem! He answered all my questions quickly and he also texted me the day prior to share directions to ensure we can easily find the meeting place (no other vendors had done this). His driver, Tyler, is the nicest guy! We really enjoyed the history he shared w/ us about Roatan and we enjoyed the nice drive to and from the venue. These guys are true professionals and I highly recommend this excursion. 10/5 stars!

Family day in Roatan. - We had an amazing time on the hydro bikes, snorkeling, and relaxing on the beach. We can’t say enough about Mark, our driver and host. He was incredibly personable and shared fascinating island history. Mark deserves 5 stars!

Hydrobike perfection! Thanks Tyler!! - Tyler was the best!! He picked us up from our port and talked and taught us all the way to the hydro bike location. He was so warm and friendly. The hydro bike’s were a lot of fun and even a little bit of a workout. We snorkled with a couple other friendly guys that worked for them and they were just as friendly and fun as Tyler! Then they took us to a nice beach bar where we had buckets of local beer and yummy food. I found the snorkeling to be great right there too! This was a 10/10 excursion!!

Say yes and do it! - This was the best excursion we did on our vacation! The bikes were so much fun and the scenery was beautiful. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much during our snorkeling time and saw a ton of sea life. The water was crystal clear. The private beach area at the end was relaxing and the beach was stunning. The bar and food were 10 out of 10. Highly recommend this fun excursion!

Newly Wed Adventure - I booked this for me and my wife as a fun thing to do on our honeymoon. The hydro bikes were so fun, as Edmon was our tour guide. He was great and we loved riding around as we talked and he showed us the French Key area. The snorkeling was amazing, being able to see so much through the clear water. Maui was our guide for that, diving down to retrieve and point out the sites. After all the exercise, we got to go to a private beach, enjoying the calm and relaxing environment. Larry was great too. I enjoyed chatting with him and hearing about a bit of history and info bout the Honduran Bay islands.
Thank you Mark and his team for making the whole experience one we won’t forgot.

Great Roatán Excursion - We had a great time on the hydrobikes. From our driver from the cruise port Tyler to our tour guide Josh. They both were very friendly and informative giving us a lot of history about the island. We also had a great time at the beautiful beach, with great food and drinks to plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. I definitely give this excursion a 10/10. Can’t wait to go back!!!!!
