We were driven to different locations by Edgar from Roatan Anderson tours, who was excellent and took us where we asked. The monkey and sloth sanctuary was a highlight as we got to hold a sloth and everyone had a turn. We also passed various points of interest which Edgar told us all about. We finished with a short snorkelling trip on a boat with us being the only two passengers so had a personal guide! We then returned to the great laid back vibe beach to relax before returning to our cruise ship. A fantastic day. Thanks Edgar!

This tour was so fun! Our tour guide Edward was amazing. He was funny and engaging. He knew everyone in Roaton! The Sloths and monkeys were fun to hold and interact with. Edward showed us everything in Roaton and told us a lot about Roaton. He took us to the best beach and introduced us to the owner of the resort who lived by us in the States. The beach front is small, but beautiful. The activities were endless and the water was warm and beautiful. Thank you Edward for a fun afternoon.

Absolutely incredible trip from start to finish, actually was probably one of the best trips I have ever done. Massive shout out to Rusty and Mary for an unbelievable day, nothing was too much trouble and their knowledge and love for their country was second to none. If your reading this and your on a cruise, don’t pay for their tour and go and book this one, they pick you up and drop you off straight from the port and you will have an unforgettable day

The tour and guides were excellent. The sloth exhibit was very fun and engaging. Everyone gets to hold and play with these gentle creatures. The monkeys were fun and boisterous. The Bananrama beach area was delightful to sunbath and walk around. Julie, our guide was terrific and knowledgeable.

Our guide Leonard was knowledgeable and personable. A great guide. The pickup situation in Roatan is difficult
