Roatán Monkey Sloth Park, Chocolate Rum & West Bay Beach Club

Tour was very organized. We had a large party of 20 and everything went smoothly from pick up to drop off. Our tour guides Emilio and Ruth were very pleasant and knowledgeable. Roatan was amazing will even go back to visit for a getaway. The beach and food was delicious.

This was one of the coolest excursions we did on our cruise itinerary! It was absolutely worth paying a little extra through Viator to have a private tour guide. We had a group of four, including one person who was nervous about getting off the ship in Honduras. Booking a private excursion made her feel much more comfortable because we had a knowledgeable local guide with us the entire time. Our first stop was the animal sanctuary. The monkeys were fun, although one hissed at one of the men in our group, and he eventually had to step out of the enclosure! The birds were also neat, but be warned—their talons are sharp when they land on your head. Lesson learned: don’t be the first person in line! The sloths were amazing and were definitely the highlight of this stop. Next, we headed to the private hotel and beach area. We booked one of the first excursions off the ship (around 8:00 a.m.), so we arrived before the crowds. About an hour and a half later, buses from several other excursions started arriving, so this is clearly a popular destination. We weren’t huge fans of the beach because vendors were constantly approaching us, so we moved up to the pools, which were much more relaxing. After about an hour, we were ready to head back. Our tour guide, Alfredo, was another highlight of the day—he was fantastic! We stopped at the rum shop and picked up some rum cakes, then visited the small chocolate shop downtown. The chocolate was delicious, but the shop itself is tiny (about the size of two cruise ship cabins), so if you don’t like small spaces, you’ll probably be in and out quickly. We also asked to stop for coffee, and Alfredo took us to his favorite local coffee shop. He had us try his favorite chips, too! He was incredibly accommodating and told us, “You’re the boss today,” offering to take us anywhere we wanted, including his favorite lunch spot or any local attractions we were interested in. His personal vehicle was clean, comfortable, air-conditioned, and in excellent condition. I would absolutely recommend this excursion, especially if you want the flexibility of a private guide and a more personalized experience.

We were able to learn about the sloths and take pictures of them, we had a chance to interact with the monkeys and birds. The beach was really nice, clean and they had great music. Our guide Cynthia was great, very friendly and accommodating. She took us to a Caribbean restaurant. The food was delicious.

Just finished our cruise vacation and this was by far our favorite day! Our guide Elda was wonderful! She made sure we had the best of everything at every stop and was a wealth of knowledge about the island. It was clear she is well loved because everyone knew her wherever we went. The monkey/sloth sanctuary was awesome and we have a lot of great pictures of the monkeys on our shoulders. The beach at Henry Morgan was beautiful…the best sandy beach of all of our port stops. I picked this excursion because of the private transportation (my family had Elda all to ourselves) and I am so glad I did! It was a great family day and we felt well taken care of in Roatan!

Our guide Kendrick was so much fun! He drove us around and showed us the sights. He told us about the island and we shared many laughs.

Love the personal touch from the private tour guide Samantha that took us around to the different activities.

The meeting went smoothly Jamie was nice In the beginning I had to ask questions about the island but she eventually starred talking more. I have to say I have been in many excursions and this is the first one that didn’t offer water sounds simple but it’s the little details that matter. The beach was absolutely beautiful and Jamie was very sweet.

Ruth our guide was amazing. She knew so much about the area, the history, way of life and facts in Rotan. We all had so much fun with the animals and the grandkids are still talking about the Sloths. We are all still enjoying our chocolate. I hope we can go back again and we will be sure to ask for Ruth. The company is lucky to have her. She is a great tourism ambassador.

The monkeys and sloth exhibit were great. Chocolate factory underwhelming and beach riddled with vendors.

Mr. Allen was incredible!!! We had the best tour and day with him! Felt very safe and cared for! Loved how attentive he was and how he wanted to make our day special! Would hands down request Mr. Allen for any tour moving forward!
