Our tour guide Anthony was amazing! He was very respectful, great about communicating updates and was so patient with us when port security sent us all over the port to meet him and we got lost. The tour was more than I expected and the ATVs were soooo much fun!! If you plan on doing this, ask for Anthony you will not be disappointed, I promise you. He took pictures for us and was very knowledgeable about the history of the island. We truly appreciated and enjoyed his company.
Outstanding excursion from start to finish. The communication the day before and the day of the excursion was excellent. We started with the trip to the animal sanctuary. It was incredible!!! We were able to hold a monkey and a sloth. Our guide Roman was the best. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. The we stopped at the chocolate factory. We were able to purchase chocolate that was made right at the factory and it was delicious. Then we headed to the ATV/Dune Buggy. This was the highlight of the excursion. We rode around a large course thru the trees, up and down terrain, and thru the mud for about 1/2 hour. It was awesome! Definitely bring a change of clothes. Finally we head to a private beach resort. They had showers and changing areas, two large pools including a kids pool. The beach was perfect. The even had a beach bar which served lunch. (They also had a sit down pool restaurant that we did not use but I'm guessing the food was good as this is where the beach bar got their food.) LoGan was our guide for the entire day. Incredibly knowledgeable and the perfect guide for the day. I would highly recommend this experience. For what it's worth it was myself, my wife and my three kids (12, 14, and 20). Everyone had a great time.
Our excursion was excellent from beginning to end. Our driver Daryl, was very patient with us trying to reach him from our ship and was an awesome guide throughout the day. We started at the Mayan Eden with the animals, then did the ATV's in the mud, and ended at a fantastic beach resort.
They were great and friendly! Highly recommend
We had a family of 5 including a 5-year-old. We enjoyed this tour. Trying to find where exactly to meet after getting off the ship was a little difficult. It's way outside of the other areas. It is not marked, and you have to continue to ask while you go deeper into the streets. Once we found our guide, it was great. There was a time difference between the ship and the city which was confusing.
We're so happy your family (even the brave 5-year-old!) enjoyed the adventure. Thank you for the helpful feedback about port navigation - we've implemented numbered meeting posts and WhatsApp check-ins to eliminate confusion. The time difference note is especially valuable; we now provide reminder cards about island time versus ship time. Come back when your little one turns 7 - we've got junior-sized goggles waiting!
Our guide/driver, Kelsey, was great. Getting to the meeting point was easy. First stop, we went to Mayan Eden. It was raining, however, they had umbrellas for us to walk around the park with. We got to see toucans, macaws, spider monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, slouths, crossed a suspended bridge, and saw many others animals. Our guide David did a great job explaining the animals, and everyone had a great time. Then we went to the dune buggy ride. That was great, especially because it just rained. We drove for a long time and got real muddy, man it was a blast. We did the two seaters and all had fun (there was 5 of us). They have photographers that took 300 pictures. We wound up buying the pictures after negotiating a reasonable price. They have showers outside to wash off the mud . Next went to a great resort. due to rain, no one was there, except us. Drinks and food prices were reasonable, 2 nachos (big), 4 cocktails, a beer and a soda for $50. We spent a good 90 minutes there enjoying the pool and lounging out. Great time had by all.
Kelsey and David's team is thrilled they made your rainy day adventure so special! Those empty resort photos must be priceless - silver linings indeed! We've upgraded our photography package to include 50 free digital photos with every tour (all 300+ still available too). Pro tip: Our new 'Monsoon Special' guarantees extra muddy trails when it rains - perfect for your next visit!
We had an amazing time at this ATV location where we got to experience a dune buggy adventure. We were given a helmet, goggles, and bandana for the ride. We were accompanied by Team 1 (Robbie and Onik). They made sure we had a great time! We were able to stop a few times to get pictures and a video taken of us. We had a blast!
Robbie and Onik from Team 1 are thrilled you had such a blast! We've upgraded our photo packages since your visit to include more action shots of those epic muddy moments. Ask about our new '360° Video Experience' on your next adventure - it captures every thrilling turn!
My husband and I took our 13 year old son on this excursion. Everything was awesome! Fantastic time with the animals, driving the ATV’s and had the entire beach club to ourselves! Highly recommend!
Roddy, nothing makes us happier than seeing families like yours having an awesome time together! Having the beach club to yourselves is pure magic - we've since added private cabana rentals to make those moments even more special. Your son might enjoy our new 'Junior Guide' program for teens on return visits. Thanks for the recommendation - we'll keep the ATVs warmed up for your next family adventure!
It was a fun excursion. Driver/tour guide was courteous and knowledgeable. If the weather outside is a little rainy or wet...atv buggy is the way to go.
You discovered our best-kept secret - rainy days make for the most epic mud-splashing adventures! We've upgraded our rainy day packages with complimentary waterproof phone cases and 'Storm Rider' certificates. Your kind words about our knowledgeable guides mean the world - they're now offering 'Jungle Insider' trivia during breaks at our new covered rest stations. Come get muddy with us again soon!
With the exception of the wait time outside the pier, our excursion was nothing short of amazing. Traveling with a group of 11 including teens and a senior citizen everyone had an absolute incredible time. Our guides, Denzel and Junior, contributed to our adventure with their knowledge and detailed explanations of Roatan, conversation and ensuring that we had an adventurous, thrilling, and muddy time on the ATVs/ buggies. The ATV company even assigned someone to drive our senior on the buggy making sure that she too had fun minus the mud. To add, the wildlife sanctuary was also enjoyable. Watching the monkey go from person to person in our group to eat was amusing. Overall, this excursion was worth what we paid.
Your group of 11 embodies exactly why we do this - creating unforgettable multi-generational adventures! Denzel and Junior are especially proud they could customize the experience for your senior family member (we've since added 'Silver Fox' buggies with extra comfort features). Those monkey antics never get old - we've started a 'Funniest Wildlife Moment' contest since your visit. Thank you for recognizing the value; we're committed to making every dollar count toward lifelong memories!
