Spectacular company and tour - I can’t rate ROA highly enough. The pickup was easy and they were exactly where they said they would be. The van to transport us was very nice and had great A/C. Our guide, Keisha, was extremely knowledgeable about Roatan and accommodated any request we had. The visit to the Monkey/Sloths was very fun. You are not allowed to touch the sloths but you can get right up next to them. The monkeys are very fun and jump on your heads and run around. They are very friendly and we had a blast. Next we went snorkeling. We had a guide just for our family. They provided all the snorkeling gear. The guide was knowledgeable and named all the fish and different types of coral we saw. There were TONS of fish and the coral was colorful and vibrant. It was the best snorkeling we have done in the Caribbean. We visited a fun shopping area and chocolate factory on the way back to the ship. ROA is a small company that goes out of its way to cater to whatever you are interested in. I had a problem processing my payment through TripAdvisor so I just made the reservation directly with the company and paid them at their office before the snorkeling without a problem. They were absolutely spectacular!

Absolutely Above & Beyond in Every Way! - If I could give Roatan Ocean Adventures more than five stars, I absolutely would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, this experience was nothing short of exceptional. Every single person we encountered—from the driver to the boat captain to our guide—was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to making our day unforgettable. What truly sets them apart is how far they go beyond what you even expect. They didn’t just deliver what we signed up for—they completely exceeded it. Every detail was handled with care, and you could feel how much they truly wanted us to have the best experience possible. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel so comfortable and taken care of the entire time. There was never a moment of stress—just pure enjoyment, laughter, and beautiful memories being made. It’s rare to come across a company that not only meets expectations but absolutely blows them out of the water. Roatan Ocean Adventures is that company. They are passionate, thoughtful, and truly outstanding at what they do. If you’re considering booking with them—don’t even hesitate. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we are so incredibly grateful. 💙🌊

Great experience - Our driver David was awesome! He answered all the questions we had and was a good safe driver. We went to the sloth, monkey and Macaw place and it was great. Saw the sloths and got to have the monkeys and macaws land on us. After we drove to the dock to get ready for snorkeling. It was only the 6 of us so it was a nice private experience. We followed the tour guide through the water and he was knowledgeable about all the fish. Was such a great snorkel experience. Then David brought us to a chocolate and coffee place so we could get some to bring home. Overall was a great experience in Roatan! Thank you ROA.

Best Excursion of our Cruise! - Wow! This was one of the highlights of our cruise, during our stop in Roatan. The excursion was fantastic from our driver, to the animal sanctuary, and the snorkeling. Our driver also offered to stop at a local market on our way back to Port to do more of a local shopping experience. It was quite chaotic outside the cruise port so it took us sometime to find our guide but once we found them, the process was seamless. Have the tour operator company name handy and there were lots of locals to help find the correct tour operator. I would absolutely do this excursion again and bring my kids along.

Highly recommend - just know who you’re booking with! (ROA!) - Getting off the boat/out of the port was the most stressful part of the day! Once we found the crew from ROA there was no stress. Our driver was a font of knowledge and so friendly. Our weather wasn’t great for the snorkel so Hector told us we were going to have to do a shallow snorkel, when I mentioned that we were strong swimmers and would prefer deep if possible, he agreed to try as long as it was safe. We ended up getting a private snorkel at their 2nd favorite spot (not shallow) which was awesome. The beach time was at big key and it was fine, although very touristy. We preferred the rest of the trip, but did chill in the hammocks for awhile. The sloth and monkey farm was so fun. We went early - so the animals were very frisky. My teens wanted to check out a Honduran grocery store, so Ann brought us to where she usually shopped. My youngest wanted to collect currency where we travelled, and she gave him a few bills! All in all I couldn’t recommend this tour/experience enough. Just make sure you save/pull up your actual receipt so you know where you’re going getting off the ship. Everyone is very helpful but it was chaos. Know that you’re booking with ROA so people can point you in the right direction.
