Roatan Drift Snorkel and Monkey/Sloth Sanctuary Tour

This was an amazing excursion with a great group of guides and amazing driver- Joe. We were a family of five traveling on a Royal Caribbean cruise so booked this on our own. They were very easy to find when we got to the end of the port. We did the sloth/monkey sanctuary which my older teens and 20-year-old son loved and then did the drift snorkel, which was fantastic. Now that our cruise is over, this tour was the highlight.!! we also loved that this was a quick morning excursion and we were back to the boat by around 12:30.

We had such a great time. My son really loved the Monkeys and sloths and my husband the snorkeling. The amount of time was perfect. The guide was good and informative about local history. On the snorkeling part the guide gave me his personal face mask because mine was leaking. That made my experience more enjoyable.

The staff were great and kind. This excursion was the highlight of my family trip.

My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful experience on the Monkey, Sloth, and Drift Snorkel Tour in Roatán! It was just the two of us, and we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire excursion. Meeting our guide just outside the cruise port was easy, and we had our own private driver. He was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our guide at the monkey and sloth sanctuary was amazing—welcoming, informative, and patient. He answered all our questions and made sure we each had plenty of time interacting with the animals. Our snorkeling guide was also wonderful. He explained everything clearly and helped ease any anxiety we had about snorkeling in the ocean, making us feel safe and confident. The entire experience was well organized, personal, and enjoyable from beginning to end. My daughter and I made incredible memories, and I would absolutely recommend this tour—especially to mothers traveling alone with their children or teenagers!

Soooooo much fun! Especially with the monkeys!! Everyone who works for ROA was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. I wish I would’ve brought more money to tip everyone.

Our driver Norma was amazing !!! The 2 guys that led the snorkeling did an awesome job and showed us so many different sea fish and creatures. Coming back in November and definitely are doing again. Gary and Lisa

Roatan Ocean Adventures is an amazing local company. Communication was great, everyone was so friendly, and we had such a great day in Roatan. There are no words for how incredible the snorkeling was, and I've snorkeled a lot! It's open water, so if you're not a strong swimmer, ask for the life jacket and noodle!!

We were picked up by our driver, Norma, who was local to the area and pointed out a lot of interesting things on our way. We traveled about 25 minutes in a newer Toyota minivan, which was much nicer than I had anticipated. The day started with the monkey and sloth sanctuary. The staff was very informative and knowledgeable, and our daughters (11 & 14) loved it, especially the monkeys. There were several food stands at the sanctuary, and we had probably the best smoothie we've ever had. We then traveled about 20 minutes with our same driver and van for snorkeling. The snorkeling equipment was all in good condition, and they had all of the different sizes that we needed from child to larger adult. It took 15-20 minutes in the boat to make it to the reef, which was a beautiful ride. Both our snorkeling guide and boat captain were very kind and interacted well with the adults as well as the kids on board. The snorkeling experience was absolutely beautiful. We were dropped by the boat, and basically drifted with the current for over an hour. It was great because we were able to see different areas, without the need to swim around if we didn't feel like it. The boat remained nearby in case anyone wanted a break or drink, etc. My whole family loved the snorkeling, and it was the favorite part of our 7 day cruise for my older daughter. Overall I would definitely recommend this trip. And we were back our port with plenty of time to spare.

Hands down the best excursion we did on our trip! We found the driver right outside port gate, he brought us to the van only a 2 minute walk away. From there we headed up to the Monkey/Sloth sanctuary. Very clean, very knowledgeable guide. We were able to hangout with the monkeys for about 30 minutes, kids loved it! Then moved over to see the sloths, just note you can not touch them, only take pictures while they hang in the trees. From there we headed to a private beach Bradys Cay and enjoyed some beach time for about an hour. A boat the. Picked us up and took us snorkeling, we saw so many fish, a shipwreck, the drop off and amazing views during the ride. Our driver then brought us back to the ship with plenty of time to explore the port. In total the excursion was about 5.5 hours! Highly recommended and half the cost the ship was charging. We loved it and will definitely book again with ROA!

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our driver Miss Ann was very friendly and well informed about all topics we had questions about in Roatan. The sloths, monkeys, and birds were a highlight and the guides there did an excellent job making certain everyone got to interact with the animals and get photos. The snorkeling component of the trip was a highlight of our vacation. We drifted and swam along the reef edge with our guides making certain everyone was okay as they pointed out fish to us. We had time at the end of the snorkeling session so they dropped us off at a beach resort to spend an our relaxing. A wonderful tour I would recommend without hesitation!
