Not sure this is always the case, but this island is way over crowded with cruise passengers most of the time. Lots of road construction everywhere. The stop at Daniel Johnson's Monkey & Sloth Hang Out was way underwhelming. The place is very small, not much more than a couple of backyard cages. It was hot, no way to buy a drink and not well planned by the tour operator. In my opinion, any tour of this location that involves being driven several miles is not a good idea at this time.

We had a wonderful day in Roatan with our guide Chapin. Chapin was very informative and very friendly. We had a blast ziplining and Chapin was with us the whole making us feel safe and comfortable. The snorkling was amazing thanks to Chapin who pointed out all the beautiful sea creatures. We would highly recommend this tour and do it with Chaplin he will make your day.

We had planned on getting spa treatments at the resort spa, but they closed due to COVID. The hotel recommended Spa Baan Suerte. When our first day on the island turned to a downpour, I thought I'd get a pedicure early (we planned for massages after all our diving). They got me in that afternoon and Tim, the owner, even provided transportation. Marla was my technician, she was fabulous and did a great pedicure. Mariela, the general manager, brought me a glass of wine and water, and made sure our massage/facial appointment for the next week was ready to go. The environment is so peaceful and calm. It's a true spa experience! I'm glad I get to return before leaving. Thank you!

We were in Roatan for a week for business and used Julio as our driver. We didn't have time to do any of the tours. Julio was always on time and took us everywhere we needed to go, sometimes with very little warning. I can confidently recommend him as a very trustworthy and competent driver. We were quite happy with him. If you need to get somewhere or be picked up on time, he is the guy to call. 5 stars

Really nice tour at Boddens Monkey business. We were able to interact and take great pictures with the Macaws, Monkeys, Iguanas, Sloths of course! All the animals are rescues or children of rescues. The enclosures were spacious and the animals never pushed to do things they didnt want to do. Its clear they take really good care of the animals and care about conservation on the island. Our guide was really knowledgable and the knew the individual animals really well. Super fun hour spent in the park.

Roatan Island has so much to offer, including the incredible history of the Garifuna. This Roatan excursion will take you back in time and back to the future! Departing from the pier on the South Shore of the island in your small group, you will first make your way towards the island's East End. Along the way you will hear of the island's colorful history, which includes Indians, slaves, invaders, pirates, buried gold, and a charming blend of cultures, people and languages. The main languages are Spanish, English, and Garifuna, which holds on to its African roots. You will pass through several of the small villages that dot the island including Barrio Los Fuertes and French Harbour, the second-largest town on the island. You may also see the wreck of ships along the coast. A stop will be made at one of the highest points on the eastern end of the island for stunning views over the hills covered with lush vegetation and the sea with its many shades of blue.

We did the BFK Beach Break & Lunch at Big Key Resort and loved it. We spent time at the beach & Lagoon area. Had a good lunch buffet, took a 20 min boat tour. Our tour guide on the bus to the excursion was verd and very informative. We really enjoyed it there.
