Your sub is a 28-maximum passenger "semi-submersible" glass bottom boat vessel. It never dives below the water line; it floats on the surface while you view out the large windows just 6 feet below the water level which makes it a great excursion for non-snorkelers and of course snorkelers! Your fun exploration begins just outside your Roatan cruise terminal (Coxen Hole and Port of Roatan Mahogany Bay) where the friendly semi-submarine shore excursion staff will be waiting for you. They will get you all checked and into your transportation. The drive to the West End pier where the semi sub is located is just a short distance from the cruise terminal. You will get to pass some scenic sights along the way. The semi-sub glass bottom boat crew help you aboard under the shaded topside. As the vessel moves out from the shore on the way to the barrier coral reefs of West End, they will help you down the 8 stairs into the interior where you will find large glass viewing windows along each side and seats down the middle. The crew will take you along the reefs where you can view all of the colorful, tropical marine life darting among the coral reef. The underwater scenery is never the same and the view is continuously changing out each window. There is a variety of marine life to see from colorful fish to coral to sponges. The guests will be out on the water for approximately 35 minutes. At the end of the semi-submarine glass bottom boat part of this excursion, the semi-sub will motor back to the pier where the transportation will take guests back to your ship's cruise terminal

It was very crowded at the Port, but once we found our driver, Derek, we had an AMAZING trip. Derek made our excursion perfect and just for us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had an AMAZING trip. The port can definitely get quite busy and crowded on cruise days, so we are incredibly glad that once you connected with Derek, everything went smoothly. Derek is a fantastic asset to our team, and we will be sure to pass along your wonderful compliments to him—he will be delighted to know he made your excursion perfect and tailored just for you! Thank you again for choosing Roatan Henry Tours. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back to our beautiful island for another memorable adventure in the future. Warm regards,
Deri, or taxi driver was great. He gave us loads of information about Roatan. The weather had been bad so the glass bottom boat was not running doh he took us to another beach where the boat was running. The wild life park was not worth visiting in my opinion, however younger people would probably go on the ship lines. My husband's health would not permit this for us. Deri suggested another trip to the mangrove. This took us to the other side of the island where we saw the "real" side of the island. This was a really great experience and the boat trip was beautiful. More visitors there would enable the locals to improve the facilities. A great day out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Deri took such fantastic care of you and your husband. At Roatan Henry Tour, we pride ourselves on our flexibility and dedication to our guests. Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate, but Deri’s ability to pivot and ensure you still enjoyed a beautiful glass-bottom boat ride and an authentic tour of our gorgeous mangroves is exactly the kind of service we strive to provide. We are so glad you got to experience the "real" side of the island and support our local communities! Thank you also for your honest feedback regarding the wildlife park. We always appreciate insights that help future travelers plan the perfect itinerary based on their mobility and interests. It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back to Roatan for another memorable adventure in the future. Warm regards,
We had an excellent experience on Routon with Henry Tours. Kembron was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable and easy going. Our favourite was the glass bottom boat! The boat setup was amazing (we were actually underwater)! We saw 2 turtles, lots of Damsel fish, pilot fish, parrot fish and a squid and a puffer fish.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with Roatan Henry Tours! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an excellent time exploring Roatan with us. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to Kembron. He takes great pride in sharing his knowledge of the island in his signature easygoing style, and he will be delighted to know he made your day so special. The glass-bottom boat is truly a unique experience, and it sounds like you had some incredible luck with the marine life! Spotting turtles, parrotfish, and even a squid is an unforgettable highlight. We are so glad our underwater setup allowed you to experience the barrier reef so clearly. Thank you again for choosing us for your shore excursion. We would love to welcome you back for more island adventures the next time your travels bring you to Roatan. Until then, safe travels! Warm regards,
We got off cruise ship with no directions. Walked a bit, found a bunch of people and guides, finally a nice guide saw us looking defeated (we were 10 minutes looking for our “Henry Tour” guide by then) and took us to a lady in a blue shirt who said to stay put. We did. 10 minutes later a very nice man (Kissley) found us and led my group (4) and another group of (2) to his Toyota mid size SUV. Small, with my granddaughter and daughter crammed in the way back, me wedged with the other couple in the middle and my wife in front……. FOR THE 45 MINUTE DRIVE to the glass bottom boat. That sucked. A/C took 10 minutes to get going and we were roasting. When we arrived, the tour company tried to tell our guide (and us) that we had been “bumped” for a higher paying group and would have to drive to the other side of the island for another boat. Our guide (great guy by the way, and none of this is on him) argued with them and finally “won” and we parked and got out. Cue the 45 MINUTE WAIT in a lawn chair for the boat to come back (boat ride is only 30 minutes so I suspect they took the VIP group before us anyway and made us sit there and wait in heat. Boat was ok. Nothing great. Drove then to the “chocolate factory” which is just a chocolate store where they try to sell you stuff, and you get 2-3 mini nibbles of free chocolate. Back in the Toyota to the sloth/monkey stop. Sketchy. Only able to get in one monkey cage, with one monkey in it, and he was mean as hell. He bit the handler and wouldn’t let anyone touch him. And he was the nice monkey! The sloths were almost worse. There were two, and you weren’t allowed to touch them, which was NOT as advertised. Ate there, as we were starving, and the food was ok, but SUPER pricey ($25 for fried fish plate) and it took an hour to get our food. Over 30 minutes back to the ship in the Toyota after that. Bottom line, I don’t usually complain, but this excursion sucked (except for our guide). It was more driving in the cramped car than excursion. Price was very high for no monkey or sloth interaction, combined with all the other stuff. Get off the boat, walk to the right to the Mahagony Bay Beach area, rent a chaise with an umbrella and enjoy the beach and great service instead. This tour was a time consuming waste.
One of the best excursions we've been on. We travel a lot and this is in the top 3 I would do it again
The tour/driver sent us to the animal park near the cruise port terminal (walking distance), but this park did not have sloth on January 8, 2026. The driver did not give us any time break in the beach. The car put 4 people together (my wife and I have a ticket with all inclusive, but the other couple without all inclusive).
This tour was awesome and our driver Harley Rich made it very enjoyable. The boat/sub was a great way to see the coral reef. The wildlife exhibit with monkeys and slots was a fun stop as well.
We just got home from our cruise and I had to write a review because this was our favorite excursion! We had 3 adults and we have 5 children under 8 including a 4 month old! With so many children we are always unsure when we get to knew places but as soon as we met with Craig we knew this was a great company. They were so polite and helpful. Craig called someone to come and get us which took about 5 minutes. He got us cold waters while we waited. Kislen showed up to give us a ride and he was so nice, helpful and polite. The boat ride itself was AMAZING. It has AC. I will say it again. The boat is air conditioned and so nice that our 4 month old took a nice nap while we enjoyed seeing all kinds of coral, fish and sea turtles! We even saw someone scuba diving which was cool. The lady who I wish I got her name was so well informed. Being bilingual myself I can say everyone spoke very well in both languages! It was by far our favorite excursion! There is a beach there to enjoy with a restaurant/ bar and restrooms. We decided to head back with the baby but that would be a fun time as well.
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that you had a great experience with our service. Our team strive to provide exceptional service to our customers. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again in the future.
Our driver Harley Bennett was outstanding! We accidently went to the wrong pick up point and Harley brought us back to the correct one. In addition, he was always ready to take us to our next stop and even took us to a wouderful place to eat next to our pier. Would highly recommend Harley for you next stop in Routan. Also the sloth and glassbotuom boat tour were great too.
Thank you for choosing us and for your kind words can't wait to have you back soon with us Best regards,
Our snorkeling trip was canceled due to high waves and wind. But they were super nice and easy to work with canceling and refunding our refund
Thank you for your feedback can't wait to have you back with us soon. Best regards,
