What to do and see in Roatan, Bay Islands: The Best Tours

May 27, 2021 Matilde Konrad

The best way to cap off a day of pristine Roatán reef diving and heart-pumping adventure is to sip a sunset cocktail by the beach. From zip-lining to deep-sea fishing to exploring the military-protected archipelago of Cayos Cochinos, the Honduran island is a playground for lovers of water sports and ecotourism. Landlubbers will adore the Carambola botanical gardens, touring the Stone Castle Cameo Factory, or exploring the beaches on horseback.

ESMERALDA WAS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!!! She was so sweet and friendly, and showed us all an amazing time. She picked us up from our house in West End and brought us to the ATV place. Big Honey and Little Honey were great guides and ensured we all were safe and having fun. Esmerelda brought us to the monkey and sloth sanctuary, which was AWESOME!! The animals are well taken care of and seem to really enjoy socializing. Flash the sloth stole my heart! We then got lunch in West End. It was raining the day we went, so Esmerelda gave us the option of doing the private snorkel tour the next day, which we did. JC was our boat driver and guide, and he was great as well! Very knowledgeable about the marine life. We saw lots of fish, a huge eel, and a spotted ray! Would definitely recommend this company, and ask for Esmeralda and JC if you get the chance!

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.

Our tour included AJ's sloth park as well as the iguana preserve. Our driver Kislin Dilbert did an excellent commentary as we drove to the park, telling us all about the island and Honduras. The monkeys are delightful, running from person to person, dropping on your head, eating the grapes. The staff knows how to get them to perform! I had never seen sloths, and that was quite an education. And the macaws were fun as well, perched on your head! I also learned iguanas love bananas ... I'll have to remember that next time I encounter them at my cousin's house in Florida. This was the least expensive, most fun tour on our week-long NCL cruise.

My wife and I had a great time horseback riding in the morning and then went on the sunset fishing excursion where we caught a nice sized barracuda and some tuna. Steve and his crew filleted the fresh catch for us and we had two amazing dinners.
