We had a great experience with Dani and the Roatan Chocolate Factory class & tour. Dani was very informative- he started the class by giving us a detailed overview of the history of the factory, the process, conservation and what sets Honduran chocolate apart from other big name chocolatiers. The class was extremely hands on. We each got to participate in the chocolate-making process from shelling the cocoa beans to wrapping the finished chocolate bars. No part of the tour was rushed and we genuinely felt as though Dani and the associates cared about the factory, the tour, the product and the guest experience.
We loved The Roatan Chocolate Factory (RCF) tour & chocolate making class! We learned the history of chocolate, the impact RCF is having on the preservation of Honduran forests, wildlife & indigenous people, and we had a blast making our own chocolate! Dani is a brilliant historian and instructor. This is a must do experience for couples, families & groups.
We were in Roatan for the day on a cruise and this excursion was by far the easiest and most organized excursion we have ever been on. We were picked up from the port and given detailed instructions with pictures on where to go to meet our tour guide. Dani is the instructor and tour guide, and goes out of his way to make every guest feel special. He is very knowledgeable about the art of chocolate making and the class is so much fun! He is a great educator and was there every step of our chocolate making process to make sure our own chocolate bars turned out great! After our chocolate making class, I asked him to take us by a traditional spot for lunch and we actually ended up at a gas station for a traditional Hondura lunch like all the locals eat. The lunch was delicious and we spent $9 total for my wife and I to eat. Overall, I could not recommend this tour enough. The next time we go back to Roatan, we will be booking it again! Thanks Dani, we had a blast!
Great authentic experience to make premium, natural chocolate. Host Danny is very patient, informative, and passionate about chocolate, and his English is impeccable. Highly recommend
Wonderful time, and learned a lot about the history of chocolate in Central America.
This was fantastic! We booked this with Dani and customized the day trip (from cruise) to include transportation, snorkeling in the blue channel, and time for lunch in west end. Jason picked us up and gave some great background about the island, brought us to the chocolate factory where Dani ran the hands on class for our small group (4 in our family plus one other couple). Very informative and so interesting to see the whole process through from whole beans to chocolate bar. After the chocolate factory we had a snorkeling excursion (highly recommended), and then reconnected with Jason who brought us to a nice spot for lunch. Our family loved the whole day, a 10 out of 10 experience.
My husband and I took the chocolate workshop with Dani. What a wonderful experience! We were picked up at the cruise port and driven to the other side of the island, where things are less touristy. Dani gave us a thorough and interesting talk about chocolate history, including how it fits with conservation goals. We made chocolate from ‘bean to bar’ with careful guidance throughout, and took 3 handmade chocolate bars home. I highly recommend this tour!
Are you looking for something fun to do in Roatan? We have the perfect idea especially if you love chocolate! Why not make your own chocolate bars from the source! Please book with Dani de la Selva and Roatan Chocolate Factory on the West End via Roatan Tour Guide Association and Viator. We throughly enjoyed our experience learning the history about chocolate and where it comes from as well as using our physical strength to grind the beans and make chocolate bars to take home! You won’t be disappointed and will want all your friends to take this class!
I arranged this tour for my mom and mother in law and it was fabulous! They had a great time. And Dani was great about communication. He also went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with the logistics for my mom (she uses a walker).
Nice, unique experience! Dani is SO knowledgeable about literally anything on the island & chocolate. Felt like we were in someone’s family kitchen making chocolate.
