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 arranged a snorkel trip through Detour Roatan. The snorkel trip itself was really, really, really good and the guides were very polite and helpful. Also, the communication with Detour Roatan was very good. Some companies are just trying to make a quick buck off of the tourists. This company, however, seems to care whether or not you have a good time. They followed up after the trip to see if we were satisfied. Also, the price was very reasonable. I would use them again.

We organized a few activities with Detour Roatan and we were very pleased with their response time, advice, and professionalism. The tours we went on (especially the zip line and Victor's Monkey & Sloth Sanctuary) were staffed by courteous and knowledgeable employees. Really appreciate your attentiveness and help throughout our vacation in Roatan. We had a great 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.
