Great Tour in Roatan - Our driver was Kiesha and the tour group was ROA. We were picked up just outside the port in a clean, air conditioned van. There were 7 of us in total!! What an amazing surprise the Monkeys, Sloths and Parrots were! We were allowed in the cages with the Monkeys and Parrots. We had a blast! Then on to a snorkel..only 7 of us! 2 persons decided not to snorkel and were dropped at a private island! The reef was incredible with plenty of fish and coral to see! It was a terrific day!

Amazing! - Our trip with ROA Excursions was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Communication was smooth and clear, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also super fun and easy-going — he made the whole experience even better. The visit to the sloth and monkey park was such a highlight! The animals were adorable, and we even had the chance to go inside the cage with the monkeys — such a unique and unforgettable experience. You can really tell that the animals are well cared for. After that, we went snorkeling in open water, which was simply breathtaking. The reef around Roatán is full of color and life — crystal-clear water, tropical fish everywhere, and peaceful surroundings. It felt like swimming in a real-life aquarium. Everything was well organized, we never felt rushed, and we always felt safe and comfortable. ROA really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. We had an unforgettable day and would highly recommend ROA to anyone visiting Roatán — it’s definitely worth it! Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Perfect day in Roatan! - Roatan Ocean Adventures provided an amazing experience for our group of families. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and accommodating. Our driver, Brandon, was fantastic. He drove us to the monkey/sloth experience and then to the snorkel experience and even stopped at a local market that had free chocolate tastings on our drive back to the port. He provided local history and answered all our questions. The snorkel experience was perfect for our group who had experienced snorkelers as well as a teen who had never done it before. It was also nice for anyone who didn’t want to get in the water to be able to stay on the boat and just relax. I would highly recommend this company. Such a better experience than the cruise excursions - and I never once was concerned about not making it back to the boat on time.

Coxin Hole Port Scuba and Monkey Farm option. - This was so fun. I was able to comunicate with the tour company by email easly. They met me right outside the port and took great care of me getting me to a from the activity. I decided to upgrade my activity to scuba diving and it was no trouble to pay with my credit card on Paypal for the addtional service. It is a lovely dive place close to the pier. I really love the diving and the sloth santuary. I encourage you to enjoy this activity if you are visiting on a cruise boat to roatan and you are stopping in coxin hole port.

One of our favorite port days! - This experience put Roatan at the top of our favorite port stops in the Caribbean! Great communication & directions to meet outside the port. Very easy to find our Roatan Ocean Adventures point person. Norma was our driver. She was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed speaking with her during our day & she was happy to share info about Roatan & life on the island. Visiting Daniel Johnson's Monkey & Sloth Hangout was such a fun experience. We had a really informative guide who led us around the park. Loved watching the sloths & feeding the beautiful birds & monkeys. Norma then took us on the brief drive from the monkey/sloth stop to the snorkel dock. Roatan Ocean Adventures is a family business - we met several members at the dock before our snorkel adventure. The snorkeling was the best part of our day! On our boat were 6 people - all couples and our guides & boat captain. Once we boarded the boat it was a short ride off the shore to an area near a small "shipwreck" that was purposefully sunk to help reef growth. Our guides passed out gear & gave some instructions. Our snorkel guide was a young man (whose name I can't remember - Jual?) that we followed as he directed us in the water over shallow areas & drop off areas. We saw so many fish of various kinds and a stingray. As someone on our excursion stated, "It was like swimming in an aquarium"! Most everyone used pool noodles to float along. I am not the strongest swimmer & was provided a life jacket. They recommended placing the life jacket under my tummy instead of wearing it. It was the best way to be horizontal in the water & be able to just float & take in all the fish, coral, etc. I felt so safe & comfortable in the water. We ended our day by spending a couple of hours on Big French Key at Brady's Cay - a small beach club. It was a beautiful little tropical paradise with clean restrooms, nice loungers, tasty shrimp and a wonderful view of Roatan. Our ROA boat came back to get us and Norma drove us back to the port & dropped us off inside the gated area instead of walking up the hill (iykyk) to get to the security gate. We had plenty of time at each spot to enjoy the animals, snorkeling & the beach. We rate this excursion 10/10. We will definitely book ROA again for any excursion in Roatan. It is obvious they take pride in the service they provide and love their island. We can't wait go back and spend the day with them again!

Great day with the animals and the fish! - Absolutely fabulous experience. Our guide was very informative about the area. The animal sanctuary was so much fun....holding the monkeys and macaw. We were able to get up close and personal with the sloths. We have snorkled in some pretty amazing spots around the world, but this was the best. The divers found all sorts of sea life for us to view. There were so many different fish. If you want a great time, book this excursion.

All the excellent reviews are right! - We chose Roatan Ocean adventures for our cruise port excursion based on excellent reviews and we were not disappointed! We did the snorkel hopping tour and also visited Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth place and both were super great! All employees seemed to really love their job and made us feel like we were on a personal tour!

Very nice family activity - We loved our experience! Zip Line 9/10 ... animal park 8/10.......... Snorkel 8/10 I advise you, if you are on a cruise, to leave at 9:00 a.m. because at the end of the day the traffic is heavy enough for the return to port
