Roatan by Land and Sea

Roatan site seeing, snorkel, shopping fun!
January 05, 2024
First time using this vendor and we had a great experience. Our driver and our guide were wonderful and took very good care of us. This tour was very informative and we probably saw and did more with this tour around Roatan than we would have with the options our cruiseship was offering as they wete more limited without anything similar to this tour. The shopping stop was good with local hand crafted items. Make sure to shop at the scenic hilltop spot. Those vendors had really good deals and an assortment Snorkeling was very good with lots of fish to see and a crew member was with us bringing up starfish and conch for us to see and hold. Lunch was excellent service and food. Fish and shrimp tacos rocked! We will not hesitate to use this company again!

Wonderful experience with Roatan Trips & Tours
December 27, 2023
I highly recommend this tour company and the Roatan by Land & Sea excursion. The instructions on where to meet were clear & we were met by a very friendly person who introduced us to our tour guide, Mary Ebanks. Mary was very knowledgeable and kept us well informed regarding the scheduled activities. She bought local snacks to share with us and even gave us currency from Honduras and signed it so we could keep it as a souvenir. I certainly consider that going above and beyond. Our driver was also excellent and caring. The city tour was very nice and informative. Afterwards we were dropped off at a very nice location to catch our boat to go snorkeling. Our snorkeling guide was very friendly, helpful and caring. The snorkeling experience was very enjoyable and fun. Afterwards we were given free time at the beach to go swimming. Then Mary and our driver picked us back up promptly and took us back to our cruise ship. We were not rushed at all and got back in plenty of time.

My husband (27) and I (24) enjoyed our experience with Talia and Carlos (I think that was drivers name!). This excursion was a perfect land & sea tour. Talia made sure that we got a full “land” experience on the island, as well as ensuring that we enjoyed our “sea” time. The snorkeling was wonderful, as was the island and the food. Talia was very knowledgeable and timely with our tour - we would do this tour again!

Tour of Island by bus and boat
August 22, 2023
The bus tour was fun and we got to see lots of the island. The shopping places were worth the time. Then the boat ride was even prettier. The boat guide was knowledgeable and very helpful with the snorkeling. The reef was very beautiful and the colorful sea life was amazing. We even got to see turtles. At the end of the boat ride, the guide took us to a seafood restaurant that was excellent. Very nice tour overall. I recommend it!

I feel bad because I forgot her name, but she told us about her daughter who was 2 years old if that helps for her to receive this compliment. We never felt rushed at any point in time and everyone we encountered was really nice. I can’t wait to visit Roatan again. The place we stopped for food was so good and the boat tour was fun. We saw some beautiful fish.

Highly recommend! Our guide Talia and our driver Marco were awesome!

They listened and did exactly what we wanted! All parts of this excursion were well timed, well executed and our gear was COMPLETELY safe and secure on the bus! The only (maybe) negative thing was the time limitation because we had to be back to port! I could have spent all day with these guys!

Roatan by land and sea
April 05, 2023
We loved visiting the island of Roatan. After our short walk to meet our host - we loaded into a van and were given a brief tour around the island. This included a quick stop at a mall where you could purchase souvenirs. Then onto the highest point of Roatan for some great views. We especially loved the “by sea” portion. It was our first time snorkeling - and we are hooked! We even want to do a dive next time! The boat men made sure to throw food our often so we could have a lot of interaction with the fish. If you are on a cruise - Shore Excursions gives you the most bang for your buck! We’ll definitely be using them again!

10/10. Our guide, Vicki, and her driver, John, took us on a drive around the island. We learned about the history of Roatan, and got to see some landmarks. We were dropped off at a small resort, where we boarded a 15 passenger boat, with Gustavo & Elvis;ate baleadas w/ rum punch.We went on a boat ride and saw beautiful residences, a marine sanctuary with dolphins, and got to jump in the water and gently pick up a starfish. Afterwards, we snorkeled in the most beautiful underwater world - live corals, lots of fish, rays, eels, etc.-absolutely breathtaking. The time spent snorkeling didn't feel long enough, but was tiring, especially when swimming against the current. We returned to shore, and spent time in the little beachside resort, having drinks, and snacks. Vicky and John took us to the Roatan Chocolate Factory at the request of some in our group (best chocolate chip cookies), and after pics at the Roatan sign it was time to return. Bring your credit card, and enough cash for tips.

The best shore excursion of our entire 7 day cruis
March 01, 2023
Thalia was amazing! She showed us around the island and made sure my wife and I were immersed in the Roatan/Honduran culture. She made some nice scenic view stops for us, made sure we stopped at local shops for souvenirs and locally made treats, and she overall made us feel very safe and welcome in her country. The boat captain and crew were no different in this respect, and they were very accommodating and professional. I don't think there could have been a better way to see and experience Honduras, the island of Roatan specifically, and this is a shore excursion that I highly recommend. I'm the type of person that reads these types of reviews prior to making a decision just as you're reading this one right now. If you're looking for the ultimate value for your money and an all-around enjoyable way to spend your day ashore, I'd say this is the way to go. If you're able, ask for Thalia! She was AMAZING!

A fantastic day in Roatan!
February 21, 2023
We had the best day with our guide, Sherna, and driver Jose! The tour was easy to find as we disembarked the ship. Sherna was a local and very knowledgeable about all things Roatan. We enjoyed a thorough land tour, some shopping for souvenirs, then arrived at the beach for our sea portion of the tour. Sherna then handed us over to a different guide, who was just as knowledgeable and pleasant. We received a snack, learned a lot more of the history of Roatan, saw dolphins, lots of fish and even a large sea turtle bobbing along on top of the water. Then we had a time of snorkeling. As we arrived back at the beach, Sherna was waiting at the pier. The lunch arrived quickly upon our return. I had the best fish tacos I've ever eaten! We were back at the ship with plenty of time to spare. This was a great tour and we enjoyed a wonderful day in Roatan! Don't hesitate to book this one!

The best shore excursion of our entire 7 day cruis
February 14, 2023
We had Thalia, and she was absolutely AMAZING! There were supposed to be 6 people in our group, for some reason the other 4 people going out with us that day didn't show up or drank too much tequila in Cozumel the day before? Thalia was our tour guide and she made our trip to Roatan the best it could possibly be. For starters, cruisers must run a gauntlet of locals just to make it off the ship, and having a local guide and a respected company such as this outfit is highly recommended. Thalia was informative about Honduras, as well as the culture and values of the island. We felt safe, she took us to local gift shops, and our entire tour felt comfortable and we never felt rushed. The snorkeling was just as described, and we just had such an amazing experience with our local guide and driver. This was overall our favorite shore excursion of our entire cruise and if you're able to personally request Thalia I know your experience will be a great and memorable one as well!

It was very accessible with an air-conditioned van, and everything for snorkeling was provided. The private beach was near a chocolate factory and good restaurant (not included). We got in an extra trip to the animal park where we got to hug a sloth (so memorable), and let capuchin monkeys use us as jungle gyms! Remember to bring xtra cash to tip the hard workers (who deserve it) along the way! The animal park folks were less enthusiastic about their job, but it was a fun experience.

We went on the air conditioned bus tour of Roatan and stopped by the chocolate factory for their tour, it was fun and informative and we recieved samples and were able to purchase some chocolate and also a nice t-shirt souvenier. Their prices were very good and the personnel who chauffeured us did an excellent job telling us about Roatan, they were very friendly and professional. We stopped for a short while at a local town area where local merchants were selling handmade items {they were a little pushy, but still friendly}. We also stopped at the Rum cake factory and this was a very short , but informative stop. We went to the beach and declined on the snorkeling as we didn't feel up to it. All in all, it was a great adventure.

This was an excellent excursion! Andy was our land tour guide and took us on a driving tour of the island to see what "real" island life is like. He was knowledgeable about the history and kept up a friendly conversation. Richard was our snorkeling tour guide and was helpful in pointing out fish and wildlife on the boat tour. Snorkeling in Roatan has been our favorite location by far. The reef and water around Roatan is absolutely beautiful! I highly recommended this tour. PS - We didn't have underwater camera or phone protection so one recommendation would be if the tour guide carried and underwater gopro to take pictures to send to us later.

This was an awesome excursion. We met our guides right outside the Mahogany Bay port. The guides (Richard and Jonathan) were VERY friendly and full of knowledge of their home. We visited the highest point of the island & then made our way to West Bay where we boarded a speedboat for some good scenic views of homes along the coast. We were taken to see dolphins in their natural habitat, AWESOME!!! After being brought back to shore, we stayed behind and ate some local DELICIOUS Roatan food as the other couple went back out to snorkel. After lunch. we made a stop at a local chocolate factory. On our way back to the ship we stopped by the GIANT Roatan sign for a photo ops. Our guide (Jonathan) suggested to my wife we stop by and grab a local cinniman roll...my wife is STILL talking about how good they were!!! They had us back to port with almost 2hrs to spare. All in all i HIGHLY recommend this excursion for those wanting to get a view overview of Roatan. We can't thank them enough!!!!!

This was the first excursion we did on our 7 night cruise. It was great! The meeting point directions were very clear and easy. The group was small, 9 people. The van was clean and the guides were nice. The guides interacted with us and gave us a nice tour of the island. We were able to add a stop at the sloth exhibit, due to extra time because of daylight savings while on the trip. The sea was our favorite part! We were paired with a local guide and his son. It was the first time we have done a guided snorkeling tour. It was awesome! The son guided us through shallow parts of the reef and showed us lots of cool sea life. This tour was a fun-filled day! We highly recommend it! Also, not only was it a great value over purchasing from the ship, no tour like it was offered by the ship. Do it!

Our driver Moises drove responsibly, he stopped for us to be able to take pictures, and even took us on a quick errand to the pharmacy. Our tour guide, Thalia, was very informative and really sweet. She gave us a native fruit to try and even a little souvenir. After we did the bus tour, we drove to the beach and had a delicious complementary snack and drink. From there we got on a boat and had a great time getting to see the blue waters, the properties in Roatan and their history, as well as dolphins and a school of fish. Our boat guides were Angel and Gustavo and they were very informative and drove very carefully which was really appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

February 26, 2020
Our family absolutely loved our land and sea tour of Roatan. The tour started with a quick walk just outside the port area to a meeting spot. We took a 2 hour tour by land through the neighborhoods of Roatan, and to a lookout point for a photo op. Secondly, we were dropped off at a local restaurant on the beach in West End and given Rum punch and a local dish while we waited for the small snorkeling boat to get ready. In the boat we visited Sandy Bay, a dolphin sanctuary, and then snorkeled for an hour. We were then dropped off back at the port. This tour was wonderful, we were part of Victoria's group. The 2 snorkel guides were at the top of their game. They all were totally invested in making sure we had the best time.

Best Tour !
February 25, 2020
We went on a 7-days cruise. The best tour that we booked was Roatan Island by Land and Sea. We went to meet up with RTT (Roatan tours and travel) our tour guide’s Lewis and Andy as his driver. This is by far the best tour out of all that we’ve booked. Lewis was awesome!, he took the time to make us all important. The size of the tour was right not too many people. Our snorkeling tour guide were Gustavo & Bryan, both of them were fantastic. Highly Highly Recommended this tour!

Bad weather - Boo
February 07, 2020
Unfortunately we were unable to do any of the activities we paid for due to rough seas and no one was allowed on the beaches. In addition, we were crammed into a small minivan which even the driver considered ridiculous. He was able to get another van and driver and put half of us into it. We got to vote on what activities we wanted to do in lieu of the ocean and we chose an animal preserve where we got to hold sloths, macaws and Cappuchin monkeys. What an unexpected thrill! We then shopped and had to- go empanadas made by the driver's mother! Tasty! Next we went to a Rum Factory where we tasted every variety they had and then tasted every variety of rum cake that they had. All in all, a great day for a torrential downpour!

We had 2 days at sea and 4 stops on our cruise and this excursion was the highpoint.

This was one of the best trips on our cruise. We had a guide and driver all day. He was very informative and tailored the schedule to what we wanted to do. The ocean was a little choppy, so he gave us the option to go on the boat or to walk down to the chocolate factory (which wasn't part of the package). They also took us to the animal sanctuary which wasn't on the list, but since we had extra time. It really felt like we had our own personal guide for the day. Small groups, tons and tons of fun. Would definitely use them again

Even though the tour by land wasn't exactly what we thought it would be, this was our favorite day. We really enjoyed the sea portion of the excursion. Our kids (ages 7, 9, and 11) loved seeing the dolphins from the boat and then we all had a great time snorkeling the reef. The guides were great with our kids helping them with the masks and pointing out sea life. After the boat tour, we had more time before we had to be back on the ship so our guide, Peter Andrew, took us to the zip lines. We are so thankful we did this in Roatan. It was AMAZING!! Again, the guides were here great and by the end our kids were doing front flips off the zip line ledge! We also loved getting to hold the sloth at the next door "zoo".

We traveled through the villages so got a first hand view of the countryside and how most locals live. The boat tour was very nice. Crystal clear waters and got to see much sea life. If you don't want to snorkel, then you can stay behind on the beach or walk through the many small stores. Very friendly people who are proud of their country. Highly recommend this tour.

Totally clear and extremely picturesque. The boat part is fun, as we got to see some gorgeous beaches, a sunken plane, the dolphins, etc. The snorkeling could have been much, much longer. Once we all got masked, we probably only had 20-25 minutes in the water. I was surprised and annoyed at the number of people we had to tip. Four: the main guide, the van driver, the boat guy, and the boat guy's assistant.

Such a thorough tour of the city given by Luis & crew! They were so accommodating. We were with friends but had booked separately, so they moved people around so that we could all be together. We learned so much about the beautiful country from Luis. He was funny & engaging & allowed us all the time we needed at each stop. The "sea" part of our excursion was also perfect. The name of our guide escapes me, but it was a young man & his uncle. They drove us by the dolphin refuge & took us on a lengthy ride before taking us out to snorkel & see the beautiful reef. It was amazing! It was a safe & relaxing excursion, & well worth the money! We never once felt rushed, yet they kept us right on time. The only negative (which is out of their control), is the long walk up a large hill to get to the buses/vans. At the end of the excursion, they are able to drop you off right back at the port, so there isn't a long walk after you've enjoyed your day.

We had no proplem finding our crew after walking out the gate. The van was already cooled down and off we went. We stoped to take some pics on land and then they took us to the beach where they offered us a snack and drink before entering the boat. We enjoyed the boat ride, saw some dolphins and fed some fishes. They offered us a free drink which you could choose to have some rum in it as well. The snorkling part was the best. The boat crew was awesome. Getting off the boat they offered us either to stay at the beach for another hour, visit the chocolate factory or visit the monkeys and sloths. 2 chose the beach and the rest were taken to the monkeys. We paid 10$ pp at the door and it was worth it. After about 40 min they took us back to the beach to pick up the rest and brought us back to the ship in time. You do not have to worry about being late as they constantly check the time and make sure you will arrive in time. Awesome company and would recommend to everybody.

Although finding the tour guides took a little investigative work it was worth it. They take you on a tour of the entire island and stopped for some amazing pictures.

We were really allowed time to investigate the reef and see the different life that lives in the region. By the time we made our way back to the beach, my group, was a little tired and ready to make our way back to the ship but even just sitting on the beach and relaxing was nice. The guides were so knowledgeable and was able to provide a history to the island and you can see how much it is being built up and where the future might be for them.

The highlights we visited were the animals at Mayan Jungle Canopy. We had a great time with the monkeys and were lucky enough to see the sloths as they were just waking up for a mid-day snack! We also went to The Roatan Chocolate Factory and wow was the chocolate worth it!

I feel lucky to book the tour before the cruise. My whole family, 3 adults and 2 kids took the trip. My youngest son is less than 3, so he is free. The bus is clean, our tour staff is kind and informative. The land tour is ok, they took us to some local place, such as the market or stores, but this is very early in morning (around 9:00 am), so the market and store is not open yet. The food is just snack, and they want you to order food from the restaurant. The snorkeling is ok, but the time is too short, and probably we are during the spring break, there are lots of tours, so the location is not good, and we only see a few fishes. It’s enjoyable to sitting in the fast boat under the sunshine with the crystal-clear water. The best of the tour is that our whole family can stay together to have the experience of Roatan.

I loved our excursion Roatan by Land and Sea and it was thanks in large part to our guide Jennifer I would give her five stars anytime, and kudos also to our bus driver Frankie, very good driver. The sea part was also very good I never got the names but they were friendly nice and accommodating to us all. I absolutely loved it and would return any chance I had.

Roatan by Land and Sea
March 06, 2019
This was a very good excursion. The land portion was a tour of the island, with Jennifer and Moises. We were a small group in a comfortable van. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about her Island The sea portion, with Oscar and Derwyn, was very nice. We cruised out along the coast and the Dolphins put on a show for us during our return cruise. Good tour, very hospitable guides.

Guide Joshua Bush did a great job showing us around island and telling it’s history. We went on drive around island, top of hill for beautiful scenery and great local prices. Then to West (tourist) end for a boat ride, pretty scenery, lovely homes, and snorkeling for an hour or so. Then back to west end for drinks and lunch. Nice interesting day, great guide with lots of stories and information, and a value to boot.

This was a great excursion! I liked that the group was small, so much better than big bus tours. We learned a lot about Roatan during the van tour and saw so much of the island. The snorkeling was incredible! Our guides went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and safe in the water. We were lucky enough to see a huge stingray as well as many other beautiful fish. I highly recommend this excursion.

February 28, 2019
I'd highly recommend this trip. Kareem was our guide and he did not disappoint. As we toured the island, he pointed out items that were important to him, his country, and the people who live there. Then, when we got to the water excursion portion he and our boat driver (I forgot his name) made sure that we had a safe but very fun snorkeling experience. We saw the dolphins in the sanctuary, an eagle ray, reef shark, and lots of amazing coral and fish. The guides were very concerned for all of our safety and kept checking on everyone to make sure they were feeling ok and not in need of help in the water. We snorkeled for about an hour. Just amazing. To finish the day, Kareem walked us over to the chocolate factory where we learned how they make the best chocolate with minimal ingredients. Tasty and an opportunity to buy some wonderful, artisan chocolate. The people of this country are so warm and welcoming. It was by far our best excursion of the 4 places we visited.

The boat tour was so much fun that my 7, 10, and 14 year old loved every minute of it. I can't tell you how grateful we are that we found this tour and had such amazing tour guides! Thank you Karim and Andy for a memorable time on your island!

This is a must do! Was kind of apprensive about going outside of Carnivals excursions, but no need to worry just bring your papers with you. They’ll be many groups wanting to take you on their tours but kindly help you find your right group. Jennifer and Fidel were our guides. They were great, very informative and concerned with our comfort during the ride. Took a long tour throughout Roatan. Several stops along the way. We were in a new large van with a group of 10. Jennifer was extremely informative about the history and cultural aspects of the area. Took a boat ride and those who wished to snorkle were allowed to and the rest of us stayed on boat and enjoyed the beauty of the reefs. We ate lunch at a beautiful beach area and had time to visit several local shops. Everyone was extremely friendly. Got us back in plenty of time to catch the boat. Absolutely wonderful day!

February 13, 2019
We were unprepared what it would be like in Honduras. Life is hard there, we saw that from the drive around the island. It rains a lot there so there is lots of foliage. Our land guide Jonathan was nice and informative. He is a native to Roatan and speaks good English. We thought that it would be a small group of like 6 at the most. But we were in a 15 passenger van and it was over full. We had no control of any of the events or where we ate or what time to leave. We were stuck with a van full of drunk people who were oblivious to time and space. That was the down size to the event. There was only a few of us that wanted to snorkel so Oscar took us around the island in a passenger boat that was covered. He did very well too. The snorkeling was great to see the coral and the fish. It took us a while to get used to breathing through our mouth only since the mask closed off our nose. Over all it was an informative event and the boat ride and snorkeling was second to none.

Long time cruisers:Bottom line - best ever
January 30, 2019
We were apprehensive due to warnings about going beyond cruise terminal gate. This warning was unwarranted. Yes, beyond the gate were people wanting us to take their tours, but when we mentioned we already booked a tour on line, they asked with who. When we mentioned RT&T, they directed us to them. Apparently RT&T has a great reputation with them as well. All RT&T employees wore uniforms and were extremely accomodative. We were especially impressed with our tour guide, Jennifer. This is an extremely well run organization and you can tell that they all care very much about each customer, their company and their island. Our first tour was just my wife and me. We were so impressed, that we booked a tour with them for a few months later with our family of 9 including grandchildren - that more than anything proves our rating.

We had a very knowledgable guide. We were able to see more than what was in the write up. We took a ride through the town. Next we went to the beach, had a snack at a local restaurant, took a ride on a boat and saw the dalfins swimming,breaking the water and feeding. Next we went to the snorkeling reefs with great coral and colorful fish. After sightseeing along the coast, we had lunch at a local restaurant. On the way home we stopped at a chocolate factory by the locals.. For a few extra dollars we could have stayed on and touched the monkeys and sloaths in a controlled environment. It was a great day by all.

I know there is another very rich side, but I brought candy especially for the kids and Jonathan helped me hand it out and made my day. My husband and I are the only ones who snorkelled in or group. We weren't rushed and had a great time. The stop for food was awesome. I enjoyed the chocolate store stop and the whole day was perfect.

Good trip
January 16, 2019
It was a very good trip. Joshua was a very good guide, giving us all the details about the living style and culture of Roatan. After the boat tour we did not want to eat any local cuisine and didn't want to spend more time at the beach, so Joshua asked his dad to drop us off at the pier where our ship was docked. That was very very considerate of him. They own the business so his dad was kind enough to give us a ride back before the rest of our group was ready to go back to the ship. Roatan is a very small island so there is not much to see or do. Just a drive around covers the whole island. In the boat trip, it was a nice ride but the during snorkeling, the boat guy did not help at all. Even though we had told him that my husband doesn't know how to swim, so he needed some help for snorkeling but that guy never helped. So I will not recommend that person. I don't remember his name

My husband and I took this excursion on Thursday, November 15, 2018. It was pouring rain when we met our guide and it never stopped throughout the excursion. However, the tour guide at the beginning of the tour told all of us that due to the weather since we could not do the Sea portion of the tour we would receive a 50% refund from the Excursion company once he notified them of the circumstances. He apologized to us for the weather and we told him it was beyond his control. He and his driver went out of their way to make the land portion tour as nice as possible. He stopped at a local grocery store to buy coconut bread and had us taste his homemade mango jam. In addition, he made rum punch for all of us to sip on while we rode around the island. When it was not raining as hard he stopped at scenic areas so that we could take pictures. We also went to a chocolate making factory. Overall, we had a great time. I would highly recommend this excursion and tour guide.

Although we got off to a rough start because there was no designated time for the pick up (after ship arrival time was the clue so we went by the time the ship was designated to arrive, not the earlier arrival time), we missed the pick up. As such we missed 40 minutes of the tour. The rest of the tour was pleasant and the tour guide was very friendly. The peak of the tour was the boat trip for snorkeling on the barrier reef. I wish we would have spent more time on the ocean, instead of returning back to a local bar where we were forced to stay for about 40 minutes.

Our tour guide was a native of the island and spoke perfect English. He made sure we had an amazing day. My only cautions - make sure you get to the meeting point quickly. We got stuck in a long line to get off the ship and almost missed our bus! Also, if your excursion has a lot of people, it will take a long time to get everyone prepped for the snorkeling. We brought our own gear and that did help some, but it took a long time for many of the people to make it into the water.

Excellent tour. Our van held 12 or so, keeping it intimate and informal. Our guide was engaging and eager to answer our questions. After 2 hrs, we boarded a boat for the sea part. We got rum punch (or just punch) as we explored the coastline, included a view of trained dolphins. Then we found a great snorkeling spot, where we spent most of our sea time. The crew was friendly and helpful, placing safety as a priority. After, we were offered a baleada (black beans and white cheese on a flour tortilla), fresh pineapple, and soda. The tour officially ended with a tour of a chocolate factory; we asked to stop at the local petting zoo, where could interact with monkeys and sloths. Everyone else went back to the ship, and the van came back for us. The animals are playful and friendly, and you can really interact with them. It's an extra $10 per person cash, but well worth it. We left impressed by the flexibility of the tour, and we all made it back to the ship in time.

The tour was a great mix of "real" Roatan on the east side of the island, boat and snorkeling, and the more touristy west side of the island. We appreciated being taken out of the touristy area to get a little taste of real life in Roatan. Chocolate factory a delicious stop. Special mention to our boat captain and snorkel guide, Gustavo. Great guy! Awesome boat tour along the shore, followed by snorkeling. Gustavo knew exactly where to take us for really good snorkeling. Lots of colorful fish and coral to see. Kids' first time snorkeling, and they loved it (as did we). Lunch was provided afterward at a great little open air restaurant/bar next to the water. I recommend the Honduran beer, Salva Vida. Overall, this excursion was well worth the money, and we HIGHLY recommend it!

This tour was so enjoyed, and of all our Cruises this tour was by far the best. Our guides (Andy and Alan) became family and my family thoroughly loved meeting them. Alan became my adoptive dad for the day). I highly recommend this tour and ask for Andy and Alan. Also, praying for the little girl at the who was looking for money to support her family.

This was a nice excursion for the price we paid. Our guide, Edward was very knowledgeable and a great guy. Snorkeling was ok. Fish were sleeping that day. Coral was nice. We saw just a few fish. The guide that was with us pointed out a few different fish and we did see a stingray. We were out about 30 minutes in the water. We all had a snack and headed to see the sloths and monkeys. That was cool as they we got to hold a sloth and went in the cage and the monkeys were friendly.

Not much to see
May 14, 2018
Nice tour but limited sights to see on land tour and the road infrastructure is somewhat pathetic. Sea portion was in a small boat but it was the best part of the tour and it included snorking which was pretty good. We had a couple of drinks on shore at the bar then headed back. Guide was knowledgeabe. Greeting was a bit difficult as outside the gate and no real waiting area so we stood on should in soft gravel. There is a nice area right next to the dock and we would likely only stay there if we ever went back.

This was the only excursion that I booked off ship so I was a bit nervous. It ended up being one of my favourite port days. I was with about 10 other travellers from my ship so we had no problems getting back on time. The excursion itself was awesome. Our guide, Jonathan, was informative and took us around the island providing great explanations of what we saw and what it's like to live in Roatan. The views were amazing but I liked the sea part of the tour the best. Fantastic snorkeling! Free rum punch and a great snack after time in the water. We even had time to stop at a chocolate store. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Great Day on Roatan
April 23, 2018
Our tour guide Rolando was absolutely FANTASTIC! He was very knowledgeable about the island, taking six of us on a tour overlooking the harbour, then all over the island. We then went on a boat and toured the coast line of the island. The people who didn't wish to snorkel got off and spent time at a lovely outdoor restaurant while we snorkeled. Once we finished, Rolando provided a small lunch for us -- which was perfect! We then went to the Gumbalimba Animal Park where we were able to hold sloths, have capuchin monkeys climb all over us and have beautiful parrots land on our heads in different cages. It was a magnificent experience! We also could have ziplined at this park, but everyone in the group would have needed to do this and 100% of the group didn't want to. I cannot say enough good things about this Land and Sea tour. It was really a fabulous, fun day!

We were a few minutes late finding them in the rain after getting off the ship but they gave us a ride to the office (the owner's home) to catch up with the rest of the group. The owner's son Joshua was our tour guide and did an excellent job. A very nice young man who spoke very well and shared lots of information about Roatan. The highlight was the stop to see the monkeys and the sloths. It was very cool to hold a sloth. You have to try it sometime! The short boat tour and snorkeling trip was really good too. I would highly recommend this excursion. I have read other reviews and yes the roads in Roatan are in very poor condition but this is no fault of the tour company and they did there best to try and find some road to drive on around the potholes. It's not what were used to at home but certainly no reason to not visit this beautiful island!

We went to a chocolate factory (bought some incredible chocolate) on the island and toured the guide's house and village area. Joshua was the guide. So informative. He bought oranges and banans for us and even gave us some of the local currency as a souvenir.

The boat tours you past the island and you get to see the dolphins at the marine park. We then snorkeled in the blue channel. The guides were very patient and helpful. This reef is so beautiful. Afterwards they served us a light lunch then it was off to the chocolate factory. We were able to sample chocolate and purchase some. Lastly we visited the monkey park; there we interacted with Monkeys, Parrots and Sloths. This part of the tour cost an extra $10 each but it was worth it. Then they dropped us off back at the cruise port with time to shop before boarding the ship. Best day of our cruise!

Joshua our tour guide really took the time to explain the history and culture of Roatan and to get to know us and what we were looking for on the tour. What they do for their community is inspiring. The boat tour guide was phenomenal! He came into the water with us and pointed out so many things to see, even a lobster! Their gear was really good quality too - no fogginess at all in the water. The weather wasn't great, but they found a great spot for us so that we didn't miss out on the experience in the least. I am so impressed with this tour group. I will definitely make arrangements with them again when I return to the beautiful island of Roatan.

Great tour. Our tour guide was Joshua a young man who had recently graduated from high school and is an avid soccer player. He took us to his home in his community and we met his younger brother and learned about the soccer program his family is involved in. He took us to several tourist spots as well as driving through other communities while he gave us history of the island. We then bordered a small boat for a tour of the island and received the perspective of our guides, saw the marine dolphin area, saw stingrays and a variety of birds. Some snorkeled while others spent time relaxing on the beach. We stayed on the boat just to be on the water. Returning to shore, Joshua brought us a warm homemade tortilla with a local bean filling and banana soda. Our last stop was a mini-zoo ( for lack of better name). We got to interact with monkeys and macaws and hold a sloth. Such fun!

It turned out just 2 of us and our guide Edward. First a beautiful view stop for photos, then Iguana reserve, $10 extra, 2000 iguanas, birds and a fish enclosure.Edward had so much information to share as he was from the island and you could tell very proud. We also went to a monkey, sloth and bird place, extra $10. - great. Then a guided enjoyable boat ride with another couple who decided to snorkle (snorkeling equipment was provided) but we passed. The boat took us right beside the swim with the dolphin enclosure. When the boat returned, Edward was again there waiting for us. Our drive continued, seeing the touristy area and then to where the people on the island live. We always felt safe. Edward was a very careful driver, even with so many potholes.. lol. Our tour was 4 hours originally, but at this point we were out 6 hours and Edward would have driven us around longer. All in all, great value, a great guide, and we were well taken care of.

Once we got going our semi-private tour was phenomenal. The narration and commentary brought the island to life. They adjusted the schedule to go where wanted, and the driver was great at moving through the traffic jams. The boat trip and the snorkelling were excellent.

This was an amazing tour!!! We had 11 on our air conditioned "bus" with a young student that was knowledgable as well as fun. We saw parts of Roatan that were hard to see as far as living conditions. A percentage of every tour cost goes towards education of children. They love soccer but in order to play they must be in school. We saw the market area, a shopping area that was away from what the cruise ports offer. . . . more authentic!! We saw all of the island, ending up at a fun restaurant where we boarded a small boat . . . . on a wavy day! Such fun, and we did get wet but we were all smiles. This tour also included snorkeling but only one (me) took advantage of this experience. The coral reef was the best I have ever seen. Colorful and unusual fish a plenty!!

We had a great Captain that cruised through the local coves and inlets (which are amazing to see from the water) to a Dolphin research center where we (quite closely) observed the trainers interacting with the Dolphins.

They showed us the beautiful areas along the shore. We then went snorkeling at the second largest barrier reef where the young guide on our boat took us to the area where there was a ledge with lots of coral and fish. We returned to the dock for a local lunch, which was delicious. Jonathan offered a side trip to the local chocolate factory where we had a brief tour and sampled amazing chocolate.

The BEST Island tour out there
July 12, 2017
If you are worried about getting back to the ship on time - don't because they coordinate their watches to ship time and have you there an hour early. This was by far one of the best tours I've taken - from stopping at local places, personal tour guides, seeing the highest point, stopping at the chocolate making store, it was all wonderful. These guys care, because they take care of students from the proceeds of the tour (students in Honduras are not required to go to school and some don't because their parents cant afford the uniforms, so they pay for several students uniforms yearly and support a local soccer group). We even stopped at their house in a neighborhood. You get a real feel for how other people live. We also went out on a boat tour and snorkeled the reef, and that was excellent. If you need help deciding - this is the one.

I would highly recommend taking this tour, as we told them what time is was on ship and what time we had to be back and we were back an hour before. No problems and the water part of the trip was really some of the best snorkeling. This group is very community oriented and support students and soccer via their tours.

The hardest part was finding the group (which wasn't too hard) we just had to walk out of the cruise gates. Thank you Michael!!!!! From your Pittsburgh crew!

Great times!!!
June 15, 2017
The tour guide was great and transportation. We spend great deal of time learning about the culture and the surrounding areas that we visit. I know that you can get the same deal with the cruise ship but they treat you like cattle as they need to meet their schedule given by the ship. Our tour was long informative and over fun. Yes, we were back on the ship with plenty time for dinner. Great experience, I would strongly recommend the locals tour over the cruise line tour any day of the year. Signed: Happy memories

We really enjoyed our Land and Sea Excursion. The tour guide was so helpful. some members of our group wanted to be dropped off early and she was more than glad to do that without inconveniencing the rest of the group. Snorkeling was amazing! We rarely take the ships' excursions. Shore Excursions has always been cheaper and better.

Great Day in Roatan!
April 29, 2017
Had a terrific tour of the island, with Quincy as our guide and driver. Learned about the history and current situation on Roatan, with lots of picture stops and time to walk around. From West Beach, we got on the tour boat to see the coast, the dolphins, and have a terrific snorkeling experience on the reef. All this for just my wife and I, as no others booked from our ship and no others in port, so a 'private tour for two'! Thanks to Quincy and our boat / snorkel tour guys for a great day. You have a beautiful island!

The excursion itself was great, mainly because of our guide, Joshua Bush. He did a first class job. However the people that we dealt with in your office were rude. We had difficulty in your ordering process and your woman tried to blame us. She indignantly told us that we would have to receive our tickets by mail. Probably will not use you again.

Pleasaant Day
April 17, 2017
Our tour guide was excellent. Showed us the town and the west end of the island. Very accommodating and even took us to his personal home for rum punch. Boat ride was enjoyable. We visited the dolphin experience and traveled back to the dock for lunch. Then snorkeling for an hour. Be advised, the bars on west end do not take credit cards so if you want beverages or additional food, bring cash.

We really enjoyed this excursion. Our guide was knowledgeable . We got to see much of this beautiful island and learn about the area. The boat ride was enjoyable. We could have done snorkeling if we wanted to, but preferred just to stay inside the boat, so the drive had his sons, who were with him, dive down and bring up some star fish for us to see. A lunch of local food and a trip to an animal sanctuary rounded out this very enjoyable day.

April 13, 2017
My family just got back from a guided "land and sea" tour with Jonathan of Roatan Trip and Tours and it was by far our favorite port from our 7 day cruise!! We saw so much and he was so patient with our crazy group including my 4 and 7 year old boys!! I was so impressed with this company's passion to improve the quality of life for people in Roatan - they donate half of the proceeds from every tour to fund a soccer program to keep youth off of the street. We even got to go into the neighborhoods and tour his uncle's house! The kids running barefoot around the area were precious - I would recommend bringing a backpack full of school supplies if you have a chance or some fun toys like glow balls for the kids - it feels so good to give back! Our favorite part was the boat ride and snorkeling which ended on the most gorgeous stretch of beach!! From the boat, we walked to Rudy's smoothie hut and had the most amazing mile-high smoothies and played at the beach!!

Despite Mother Nature having a fit, Joshua made sure that everyone had a great time visiting his island. Sure Roatan was opened to the tourists in the early 2000 and to this day it's still feel undeveloped. Make sure that your tour includes the West End where it feels like a very small version of Key West, Florida with it shops and musician. I do recommand this tour except if it rains do not take the boat ride... It's not covered!

Not fancy, but top notch experience, can't wait to go back.

We chose not to do Roatan by Sea as my husbank and I didn't want to go out on the water. So we were assigned a young man that took us all over Roatan, in a comfortable van and explained all the different areas, and took us to shopping areas as well. He was very informative about the history of this island and this excursion was very pleasant.

RTT is the greatest tour on Honduras. We were taken to the office for a drink and found out that half of their fee goes to fix their neighborhood and they support 92 kids with sneakers and soccer. We did a little tour of the island and learned history about Honduras, then we went to the boat for snorkeling, water was amazing, guides helped each person one on one if needed. We then went to a resort but we did not have a lot of time there but it was beautiful there anyway. We were given a light snack which is an energy booster. All in all, Steve and RTT were awesome.

We LOVED the land tour. Our tour guide, Jonathan , was fabulous. He showed us all around the island and gave us a good bit of history. We were disappointed in the sea tour. The boat captain did not speak English, or at least not to us. He talked to the Spanish speaking passengers. He drove too fast over the crests and we were soaking wet.

The Roatan Land and Sea package consisted of a taxi tour/shopping, boat and snorkeling trip and the option for a beach stop. Our driver met us at the port exit and provided us with a tour of the town followed by a trip arpound the island. Our driver told us of his own experience growing up on the island and the activities for current island youth. We had stops for shopping and photos along the way. We stopped at West Bay for our boat trip and snorkeling. The guides were great as we snorkeled over the reef and saw some great tropical fish.

Since I travel with a handicap friend who enjoys snorkeling but at a very simple level, this was the perfect excursion for us. From the tendering, to the instructions given, to the care they could in helping him get around to snorkel, everything was great. They even racked some of the sea weeds, so he could get in the water much easier. When we was ready to return to shore, they helped him get back.

The family run tour was very educational. We learned a lot about Roatan and even visited a local place where street children are cared for via a soccer program. The snorkeling was fun and at a sight that was easy for beginner snorkelers. We did not get to see the dolphins, which was disappointing. However the tour was great, the snorkeling fun, and the beach at West End was beautiful. We were able to see a lot of the island and learn both about its history and current status (population, schools, taxes, government, etc.)
