What travelers are saying
We really enjoyed our tour. Cowot (I think I spelled that correctly) was our tour guide. He did a great job and we really enjoyed the excursion.
We were scheduled for a 10:00 excursion. We arrived early, followed the directions and looked for someone in an orange and white shirt holding a sign with our names on it. We realized we were early, so we waited. Other independent taxi drivers tried to tell us we'd been left and tried to get us to let them take us out. We said no, and finally one of the other drivers called and got in touch with someone for us. It turned out that our driver, Armando, had been there the entire time, wearing a blue shirt, with NO sign. We finally got loaded into his truck. We made our way to West Bay. The snorkeling was not what we had expected from how it was described on the website. We decided against hanging out on the beach after snorkeling and went back to port. We were all disappointed with the excursion.
Cindy did a great job driving and taking care of our family in Roatan. She adjusted our day as we asked her to do and we were able to add in a sloth visit, at a very great place. Almost private. She was enthusiastic and we learned alot about the island from her. This is our second visit to Roatan this year and 2nd time booking this service. Highly recommend. A caring, and professional company.
Perfect service, we found our driver Antonio easily and he was excellent. Lived on the island for 40 years so very knowledgeable. His car was clean with great AC. The beach club was very nice, clean , great beach- able to rent a private boat to go out snorkeling , beautiful water and fish. We wanted to leave early and called Steve and he had Antonio come back to get us within 10 minutes. Would highly recommend if you want to do your own thing.
