Best Cruise Excursion We Have Ever Taken — We Left Feeling Like Family
We have taken many cruise excursions, but our day with José and Roatan Exclusive was simply the best we’ve ever experienced.
What was supposed to be a 3–4 hour private Roatán Highlights Tour became nearly six incredible hours because José kept personalizing the day for us — and still had us back at our Carnival ship two hours before departure.
My wife Connie uses a wheelchair. José insisted on pushing her himself and never treated her mobility as an inconvenience. He showed us the Roatán he loves: local food, beer, chocolate, coffee, scenic areas and places we never would have experienced on a crowded cruise excursion.
At Mayan Eden, José introduced us to Juan Carlos, an exceptional sanctuary guide. Despite steep, difficult terrain, Juan Carlos helped us get Connie through the sanctuary and gave us unforgettable encounters with butterflies, toucans, monkeys, sloths and boas. He also took phenomenal photos and videos using our own iPhones. When we finished, rather than make Connie negotiate another difficult hill, Juan Carlos called José, who drove down to pick us up.
That sums up the entire experience: instead of telling us what couldn’t be done, they figured out how to make it happen.
José even shared his personal phone hotspot when I unexpectedly needed internet access to deal with a banking problem.
By the end of the day, José wasn’t simply our tour guide. We had talked about Roatán, business, family and life and genuinely felt we’d made a friend.
José later told us we were now part of the Roatan Exclusive family. That’s exactly how it felt.
We arrived as customers. We left feeling like family.
If you’re coming to Roatán on a cruise, skip the crowded bus and book Roatan Exclusive. Five stars without hesitation. We would book with José again in a heartbeat!
事業者からの返答
This review truly means a lot to all of us. What you described goes far beyond a tour, and that is exactly the kind of connection we hope to create when someone chooses Roatan Exclusive.
José genuinely enjoyed spending the day with you and Connie, and Juan Carlos will be very happy to know how much his care and effort meant to you as well. We believe the best experiences come from paying attention, adapting, and finding a way to make the day work for each guest rather than simply following a schedule.
Thank you for trusting us with your time in Roatán and for allowing us to share the island in such a personal way. And yes — we meant it when we said it: you arrived as our guests, but you left as part of our Exclusive Family.
We’ll be here whenever Roatán brings you back.

Great private excursion for cruise passengers!
We had a great experience on this private tour with Moses. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and had a nice air conditioned van for transportation. The animal sanctuary was fantastic! The guide there was very good, and we got to hold birds, monkeys and a lemur! We got our picture made with a sloth! After the sanctuary, Moses drove us all over the island. We went to the rum and chocolate factories. We didn’t want to spend any time on the beach, so Moses took us to see some other beautiful areas.
事業者からの返答
We’re so glad you enjoyed your day with Moses! One of the best parts of a private tour is being able to adjust the experience around what you actually want to do, so we’re happy he could skip the beach and use that time to show you more of the island instead.
It’s also great to hear you enjoyed the sanctuary and the other stops along the way. Thank you for choosing Roatan Exclusive and for recognizing the friendly, flexible service Moses provided throughout your day.

Book the tour, you won’t regret it!
This excursion was better than I expected. I had an issue with the booking and they were extremely helpful and willing to work with me to ensure everything was set up correctly. The day of the excursion we met Davis who went above and beyond ensuring we saw everything we wanted to see and then some!
事業者からの返答
We’re really glad we were able to get everything sorted out before your tour and make the whole experience easy for you. Once you were with Davis, the goal was simply to make the day feel personal, flexible, and worth every minute you had in Roatán. Thank you for trusting us to make it right, and we’re so happy the experience ended up exceeding your expectations!

The perfect Roatan Adventure with Emilio
We had such a wonderful excursion in Roatan thanks to Emilio! From the adorable sloths and monkeys to the delicious chocolate and rum tastings, every part of the day was fantastic. Emilio went above and beyond by providing cold waters and beers for us and making stops at gorgeous locations for pictures. You can tell he truly cares about giving guests a great experience. We learned so much about the island while also having an absolute blast. Highly recommend booking with him!

We’re especially happy you enjoyed learning about the island while still having plenty of fun. Thank you for choosing Roatan Exclusive and for recognizing the personal care Emilio put into your day!

Great Tour
We had a great experience with Davis as our guide. We had a private tour in a good quality minivan whilst on Roatan during a cruise ship visit. We enjoyed seeing the island and visiting the monkey sanctuary, chocolate factory and West Bay beach. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience and very personal, just the 2 of us. Oscar went above and beyond to show us all the highlights of Roatan. The wildlife experience was brilliant, letting us up close with holding and feeding the animals in the reserve. The guide there was passionate about all the animals and their welfare and conservation. Would definitely recommend this experience on your visit to Roatan.
事業者からの返答
We’re so happy you enjoyed having Roatán almost entirely to yourselves with Oscar. He really takes pride in showing guests the island beyond just the usual stops, so I’m glad that came through in your day. The wildlife reserve is always a special part of the experience too, especially when you can see how much care goes into the animals. Thank you for recommending us, and we’d love to show you even more of Roatán next time!
