Amazing snorkeling trip from start to finish! Amy was patient with our kids who have never snorkeled and were very needy (to say the least). Reyes our boat driver was great and his son was adorable! Would definitely do this trip again! Learned a lot about Roatan and will definitely be back to the island
This was amazing! Going back next year and trying to do it again. The best snorkeling experience we’ve ever had in the Caribbean.
Awesome customer support from the operator ahead of time. Personable and kind driver and guide. Knew the area well and took us to three breathtaking spots for snorkeling. We are so grateful!
We enjoyed our boat and snorkeling excursion in the West End of Roatán so much! We explored the Blue Channel, the Aquarium and Turtle Crossing. Right from the start we had a great experience. We signed up through Viator and immediately got a response from Dani the guide coordinator. He was very responsive and stayed in communication with us throughout the entire process. He sent us all the information we needed to meet our driver when we arrived in Roatán and disembarked from our cruise ship. Our driver Daysi was there at the cruise ship port waiting to pick us up and she was very friendly and talkative. She told us all about the island and life on Roatán as she drove us over to the West End. We got onto the boat and headed out into the bay. All three snorkel spots were amazing! So many fish and other coral reef wildlife were everywhere. The water was warm and the snorkel gear was solid and didn't leak or get too foggy. My wife and I had the best snorkeling experience of our lives in Roatán and we are already planning our return to that island. When we finally get back there we will be booking this exact same snorkel excursion with Dani and Deysi as well as the two boat operators, who were also fantastic! This was a 5-star experience and we would highly recommend you book it if you're able to snorkel while on Roatán. Cheers!
Mario was our Guide and did an excellent job. He was very upbeat and informative. He was especially good with our five-year-old and seven-year-old first time snorkelers. He was very patient with us senior citizens. If you’re going to choose one or the three sites, I would recommend the aquarium.
Easy as can be snorkeling experience! My girlfriend and I stayed in West End at an Airbnb, and we literally just walked into town and met our guides there on the boat. We hit blue channel, turtle crossing, and a last spot where they fed the fish and had them swim around us. Beni guided us the whole way and was very nice, 10/10 would recommend!
Nice early start time and convenient pick up at Infinity Bay. The first location Turtle Crossing was a dud, with unhealthy and dead coral and almost no fish. We swam a long time there and wish we had not stopped there. We enjoyed the Blue Channel a lot - beautiful spot with depth, good coral and marine life. The third location at the Aquarium had too many boats, and as we’re experienced snorkelers, feeding the fish was only fun for a moment. Swimming away from the boats was better, and we saw some great species, including leopard rays and flounder. It was recommended we not use fins because we would be so close to coral, but fins would have been perfectly fine and nice to swim with. There was plenty of depth, and again, we’re experienced snorkelers and are conservation minded, avoiding contact with coral. Our guide was super nice, but he didn’t point out any species of coral or fish while we were snorkeling. Very unusual on a guided tour. For the price, the boat was a disappointment. A water taxi with benches and a two stroke engine that wreaked of fuel and was likely leaking fuel into the water. The ladder needed another rung, as stepping up that high was challenging. We weren’t offered drinking water or told to bring it. Usually it’s specified in the tour listing or confirmation email. The only confirmation email came from Viator and didn't include any details other than the date, and the link to tickets didn't work. For the price, the short duration was also a disappointment, especially considering the first stop was not good. Overall, a mixed experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for highlighting the aspects you enjoyed, especially Blue Channel, the marine life you encountered, and Valentin's friendliness. We genuinely appreciate all feedback, as it helps us continue improving. We're sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the boat and your perception of Turtle Crossing. Regarding Turtle Crossing, we respectfully disagree that the reef is "dead." Coral reefs are living ecosystems that naturally go through different stages and can look very different depending on recent weather patterns, sea conditions, currents, and other environmental factors. Turtle Crossing is actually one of our guests' favorite snorkeling locations, and many visitors describe it as a highlight of the tour. Unfortunately, nature changes from day to day, and while we carefully choose our snorkeling sites, we cannot control how the reef will look on any given day. We also wanted to clarify a few points for future guests reading this review. Bringing your own drinking water is, in fact, listed in the tour description under "What's Included/Excluded." We always encourage guests to read the full tour description before booking, as it also explains important details such as the snorkeling time at each site (approximately 30–40 minutes per stop: Read our "What to Expect section"), the type of boat used (look at the photos), and other information that helps set expectations. Regarding snorkeling fins, our policy is also explained in the tour description. We generally do not encourage fins because, over the years, we have unfortunately seen self-described "experienced snorkelers" unintentionally damage coral with them. However, guests who prefer to use fins are welcome to request them in advance, and we are happy to accommodate whenever possible (Read "What to Expect Section"). We did not receive such a request prior to your tour. After speaking with Valentin, he also mentioned that you requested to move on from Turtle Crossing sooner than planned, which we were happy to accommodate. He then extended your time at Blue Channel to well over an hour so you could enjoy the site you preferred most. We always do our best to adapt the tour when possible so guests have the best experience. Regarding the boat, this tour is designed as a snorkeling-focused experience with minimal travel time between sites. We intentionally use a simple local snorkeling boat rather than a luxury vessel in order to keep the tour affordable while maximizing time in the water. We also offer premium snorkeling experiences aboard larger catamarans for guests seeking a more luxurious boat, but naturally those tours are priced considerably higher. The boat used for your private tour is the same one shown in the listing photos, so guests can see exactly what to expect before booking. We would also like to clarify that the boat was not leaking fuel, and we respectfully disagree with that assumption. We're also sorry to hear you would have liked more commentary underwater. Valentin is a knowledgeable and well-liked guide, and after discussing your feedback with him, he explained that he did point out various coral formations and marine life during the tour. He also felt that, from the beginning of the excursion, much of the focus was on disappointment with the size of the boat rather than on the snorkeling itself. While we're sorry if expectations about the vessel affected your enjoyment, we always strive to provide a memorable experience regardless of the boat size. Finally, while we fully respect every guest's opinion, we do feel that a 2-star rating does not reflect the many positive aspects you mentioned, including enjoying Blue Channel, seeing rays, flounder and other marine life, having a friendly guide, receiving private service, and being accommodated when you requested changes to the itinerary. We have been fortunate to earn over 200 five-star reviews from guests who have enjoyed this experience, and while no tour is perfect for everyone, this review is certainly not representative of the experience most of our guests have. Thank you again for your feedback. We truly appreciate you choosing to snorkel with us, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
10 / 10 highly recommend. Dani was very responsive and informative after the booking and super helpful with instructions leaving the port. Mario, our guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable about the different snorkle areas and the island. It was very easy to find Mario outside of the port exit and the excursion went flawlessly. I want to come back and experience the island and snorkle areas more because of this experience. Book with this crew, you wont be disappointed.
Mario is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide! He is very positive and I had a great experience . The snorkeling was amazing and I can’t say enough about the tour guide he made the experience.
Great experience. Super punctual, and Amy and Wilson were friendly and very kind. Dani was attentive the entire time. 100% recommendable.
