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 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.

Our driver Bryan picked us up right on time and suggested multipe things for us to do. We went to Manawakie park first, where my wife was delighted to hold and pet a sloth. We also saw and pet monkeys and parrots. After that, we handed out school supplies to local children (Bryan arranged for them to meet us). Then he took us to a great sighsteeing spot overlooking the port. We went to a local souvenir shop (The Rusty Fish) afterwards, where all the pieces are made from items found at the landfill. Then Bryan arranged a local boat to take us snorkeling for an hour (separate charge from the price of the tour). Roatan has a fantastic coral reef, and the snorkeling was amazing. After that, it was on to the local chocolate shop, where we got a free tour and free samples. Bryan recommended different shops and places throughout the tour, but he never pressured us to buy anything. He was very friendly and engaging, and he made the tour even more special. At the end, we were a litlte hungry, but not hungry enough for a full meal. He had told us about a local lady that makes coconut bread, so he stopped at her corner and bought us some bread to try. It was so delicious and it really filled us up; just another great recommendation. We made one last stop at the Roatan sign, then he got us back to the ship in plenty of time. It was such a great way to see the island and try different activities. We highly recommend this tour if you're visiting the island.

Dani speaks perfect English, and very quick to respond to any questions when booking our adventure. Nahomi picked us up from our rental home, and took us to West End. We were supplied with fins and snorkel masks, then paddled out and tied on to a buoy in Half Moon Bay. Nahomi & Dani snorkeled with us, guiding us through the coral where we saw hundreds of fish, including parrotfish, a couple of spotted sharptail eels (aka sea snakes), a lionfish and an Eagle ray! The coral itself was spectacular as well. After kayaking back to shore we ate at the Cannibal Cafe (which was also where we received and returned our snorkel gear). We then dined on delicious quesadillas, tacos and nachos. It was honestly the best meal we had in Roatan! Don't let the name of the Cafe fool you - they offer vegetarian dishes as well! Afterwards Nahomi and Dani took us to the Honduran Chocolate Factory, where we had a wonderful and insightful tour, learning about how cacao is processed. They are very passionate and proud of Honduras being the birthplace of chocolate, and we all agreed all the chocolate (about 10 bowls to scoop and sample from, including white, with almonds, dark, with sea salt, chili, etc.) were the purest and finest chocolate we'd ever tasted. It is a pity we are only here one more day. I can't recommend them enough, and if (when!) we return to this beautiful island, we will be booking all our activities through Dani and Nahomi!

I had the pleasure of renting a scooter for the duration of my stay on Roatan from Raphael. He is very chill and relaxed, usually renting from these shops you have to be wary if they will dink you with extra charges for cleaning, small nicks, and scratches etc. Raphael was very cool about everything and I made sure to recommend all my friends to rent from him. The island is very big so I highly recommend renting a scooter to check out all it has to offer. The other bonus is the shop is right in the heart of the west end so you don't have to go far. Next time I am back I will definitely be renting from Raphael again! - J from Canada.
