As one reviewer noted on January 21, 2025:

Outstanding tour - We met our driver, Emilio Martinez, exactly where and when we were supposed to meet. He met us with a van that was perfect for us. I had a transportable scooter and a wheeled walker and they both fit in the back. Emilio was very helpful and informative through the whole tour. He even had cold drinks for us ready in the van, which was appreciated greatly. The sloth and monkey sanctuary was the best time! We also visited a chocolate store and a rum store providing free samples. (the chocolate rum is very tasty). I had mentioned that I wanted to try the Monkey LaLa and he took us to a local restaurant where we had a great meal and I discovered my new favorite cocktail! Everyone in our group of four had a great time. So glad we had Emilio for a guide and will try to get him again on our next trip to Roatan. Thanks Emilio for the great experience!
