So fun!

We had a great tour with Jonathon! He was so nice and made sure we were always comfortable. The mangroves were worth the drive...they are beautiful! Lunch was 10/10! Would definitely recommend!

they have your back!

Unfortunately we did not complete the tour. The waves in the bay were too high to tender so our ship cancelled the stop. We were in contact with the operator all thru the ordeal. He really was exceptional in understanding, and communicating what was going on. Based on this alone I would definitely book a tour with him the next time we visit roatan.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words! I’m really glad we could stay in touch and keep you informed, even though the tour couldn’t happen this time. Your patience and understanding made it much easier, and I truly appreciate it. I look forward to showing you the beauty of Roatán on your next visit, we’ll make sure it’s an unforgettable experience! 🌴✨

Great experience, ready to go again

Exclusive is exactly the kind of attention we felt with this tour company. We were with Davis and Rigo who went above and beyond. Rigo was always ready nearby to help in every way, including taking great pictures. Davis is so knowledgeable of the Island history, it was fascinating listening to. We found out too late that they also do tours in Cozumel, which we had already booked by with another tour. We had a completely different experience. I’m recommending them to my family who are planning a trip and I will book them on my next trip back.

Operator response

Hi! Thank you so much for this amazing review 🙌 We’re really happy to hear you felt the exclusive attention we always aim to give. Davis and Rigo will be very grateful for your kind words, Davis loves sharing the island’s history and Rigo is always there to help and capture great moments. Thank you for recommending us to your family, we’ll be more than happy to welcome you again on your next trip to Roatán! 🌴

A Truly Authentic Roatán Experience!

We did Roatán Exclusive’s Half Day Private Roatán Culture East Tour and absolutely loved it! Jose gave us a wonderful local experience that felt truly authentic, and Miguel provided an excellent, informative tour through the mangrove channel. Both were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day feel special. If you’re looking to explore the real Roatán with guides who genuinely care about sharing their culture, this tour is a must. It’s obvious how passionate and proud they are of the island and the culture. Highly recommended

Operator response

We’re proud to share the real Roatán with our visitors, and it means a lot to know you felt the authenticity and passion behind the experience.

Awesome and Memorable Excursion!!!!

This was truly one of those excursions that we’ll remember for a lifetime. From the moment we were picked up—right on schedule—Davis and Miguel made the experience outstanding. The vehicle was spacious, spotless, and cooled perfectly with the AC pumping, setting a comfortable tone for the day ahead. Davis went above and beyond in every way, making the journey itself memorable. He stopped at a couple of charming local shops and even pulled over at scenic viewpoints so we could take beautiful photos—always making sure we got the most out of every minute. Their attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm made us feel like VIPs. The mangrove tour was simply breathtaking, and the secluded snorkeling spot that followed was absolute paradise. There was never any sense of being rushed; we could snorkel for as long as we pleased, immersing ourselves in the stunning underwater world at our own pace. The food and beverages provided were delicious and plentiful, capping off a perfect day. Having done another excursion on Roatan with a different (and slightly more expensive) company, there is simply no comparison—this one was WAY better in every possible way. Davis and Miguel’s professionalism, warmth, and commitment to making our trip unforgettable were unmatched. Cannot recommend this excursion highly enough—if you’re visiting Roatan, do yourself a favor and book with these incredible hosts. It was the highlight of our trip, hands down!

Operator response

Wow, thank you so much! We’re super happy to hear you had such an awesome time with Davis and Miguel. They always do their best to make every moment special, and it means a lot to hear you felt that! So glad you enjoyed the views, snorkeling, food, and everything in between. Hope to see you again soon in sunny Roatán! 🌴😄

Best excursion for our port day!

We had Davis as our guide for the day! He had the best personality and showed us all around. We always get nervous doing excursions not through the cruise company but I would use this company every single time. You aren’t seeing Roatan if you aren’t going through Roatan Exclusive!

Operator response

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time with Davis. He truly loves showing guests the best of Roatán! We understand the concern about booking outside the cruise line, and we’re so glad you trusted us. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another amazing experience! 😊🌴
