Great experience - our guide Kevin went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. Highly recommend!
This was such a fun experience! Our guide/driver Oscar was knowledgeable and prompt to pick us up. The animal sanctuary experience was educational and it was fun to see and get to know some of Roatan’s local animals. West Bay Beach is gorgeous and had great service. We felt super safe with our driver and he made sure we made it back to the ship in plenty of time! 10 out of 10!
We took 2 tours with Roatan Family Tours and loved it! Jimar is super nice and patient. He was answering all of the questions our sons had. He was very attentive of us and was always making sure we were enjoying and confortable. We highly recommend the tour company. Message from my 10 year old son: we loved it, thank you 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐡🐟🐟😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
We did 3 tours with them, the snorkeling in West End, the monkey/sloth tour, and the dolphin one. We had a fantastic time, our guide Jimar was with us the whole time, he took the time and patience to explain everything to us in detail, from beginning to end it was great. If you go to Roatan this tour is 1000% recommended!!! Hire them, without a doubt you will have a great experience!
Our guide Bryan was great! We communicated with the company via email and knew right where to meet him. He had an air conditioned van and first took us to a park with monkeys, macaws, and sloths. Then to the West Bay Beach. It was beautiful! He helped us to get shaded lounge chairs right on the beach. We enjoyed beach and ocean time for a few hours. On the way back to our cruise ship he was happy to stop so we could take a few photos. I’d recommend Bryan and this tour!
Top tier experience. Our tour guide was Oscar and he was great. Extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Took his time in making stops and making sure we had everything we needed and saw everything we possibly could. Would absolutely recommend this tour and looking forward to visiting Roatan again. The monkey and sloth sanctuary were amazing and West Bay beach is one of the best beaches I’ve ever seen- comparable to Turks & Caicos.
I’ve always wanted to see the sloths and this excursion made it possible! I forgot to change to ship time so we were a little late for our excursion. Once we found the The Roatán Family Tours, they were awesome, especially Joseph who was very personable, told us about the island and waited for us at the excursion until we were done. I forgot there was beach access so we weren’t prepared but we were able to enjoy the beach at one of the exclusive resorts then he got us back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. They didn’t have this excursion on the ship so I was very excited & it didn’t disappoint. The monkey, bird & sloth sanctuary was great & our tour guide was funny & knowledgeable.
We had an amazing experience with Roatan Family Tours! Everything was excellent from start to finish. The pickup was on time, and the entire day was well organized. We loved visiting the monkey and sloth sanctuary, relaxing with beach access, and snorkeling in the beautiful clear water. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time throughout the day. A special thanks to Johan, who was very responsive, kind, and easy to communicate with before the tour. From pickup to drop-off, everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Roatan Family Tours to anyone visiting Roatán!
Just returned from family cruise and the BEST excursion in Roatan. Yohan has to be the most knowledgeable and well known tour guide on the island. We were a family of nine (ages 10-75), we started with Zipline thru the tropical forests, then a visit to Sloth and bird Sanctuary. Traveled the island to the second best reef in the world for snorkeling. The family loved every minute of our day. Yohan handled all our requests with kindness and made sure we were all happy. We ended with lunch at a local spot and back to ship in plenty of time. Don’t hesitate to book with Roatán Family Tours. You won’t be disappointed!
Excellent service and very details on the history of the islands. We enjoyed the zip lines and the zoo visit. Beach resort was also awesome. I recommend them for futures excursions.
