Dani the consummate professional 🌴
Robert_M, Apr 2023
Dani is absolutely incredible. It was my girlfriend's first time snorkeling and Dani made sure to take her experience into account as well as the rest of our crew (who are all divers) and catered the experience perfectly to both of us. He then gave us incredible recommendations on food and activities after and we all shared a meal together as a crew of incredible local food before we headed back to the ship. Dani is all about locality and his passion for helping the people on the island is really inspiring. The best excursion we did on the cruise and we're hoping to come back to Roatan to see him again soon. 😊

Robert, your too cool my friend! Thanks so much for your kind comments and feedback! We really appreciate it. It makes me happy that you guys had a lovely time! It would be awesome to see you guys again on the island! Cheers and best regards to both of you!
Top Notch Customer Service!
LORNA_R, Apr 2023
Dani the tour operator was very responsive to our emailed questions and provided lots of info about the excursion. Unfortunately, because of weather conditions, our cruise ship was unable to dock in Roatan and we were unable to do the outing. Dani reminded me that we could request a refund. We have been home a little over a week and I had forgotten that we could do that. Very cool of them to remind us that all was not lost when we could not get off the ship!
Response from Host, May 2023
Lorna, thank you for this review despite the fact you weren't able to dock. I really appreciate that you took the time to leave such kind comments and feedback! We hope you come back some day and that you can finally snorkel with us in our beautiful island! Cheers!
Great experience!
Faith_V, Apr 2023
This tour was Uber local-a boat to ourselves with one snorkel guide- Andres. We snorkeled three gorgeous sites and were able to take our time instead of waiting behind others to get in and out of the water! Dani, the owner, did a great job of communicating from beginning to end.
Response from Host, May 2023
Faith, thank you so much for your review and kind comments. It makes me very happy that you had a great time with us! We hope you come back to visit us one day.
We had a wonderful day...
Patti_C, Mar 2023
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Dani! Prior to our tour, Dani was very responsive and shared perfect directions as to where to meet him when we disembarked our cruise ship. He then drove us to a waiting boat from which he guided us on a snorkeling adventure to two separate locations. We were excited to see several spotted eagle rays, parrotfish, sea turtles, barracuda and many more beautiful fish and coral. After snorkeling, we visited a chocolate factory and had a delicious lunch of Honduras puposas, stopping on the return to the ship for a photo opportunity. We enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Roatan Tour Guide Association for a day in Roatan.

Hands down one of the best snorkeling trips we've ever done. Andreas was not only an amazing guide but also just an amazing person. I wish we had more time on the island because we could have spent the whole day chatting with him. We booked this trip because the ones through our cruise didn't seem to go to the best spots (namely the Blue Channel) and we're so happy we did. We started at the Turtle Crossing which was a great entry point to get comfortable in the water, adjust the snorkeling gear and take in some of the beautiful sights under the water. The second stop was the Blue Channel and it did not disappoint. All I can say is that it was one of the most beautiful reefs I'd ever seen. The last stop was The Aquarium which is a very appropriate name. As soon as we hopped in the water we were greeted with hundreds of fish swimming around us. A perfect end to the trip. Thank you again for such an amazing time and we will definitely be coming back next time we're in Roatan!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
James, thank you so much for your lovely review! It makes me really happy to know that you had such a great time. Andres told me that he had an excellent time with you guys and that you were the coolest! Thanks so much for being so nice! He sends his regards and we really appreciate your booking! Next time you come we’ll explore the reef some more! Cheers!
Good experience
jason_l, Mar 2023
The crystal clear water guides were great we went in the afternoon. We were lucky enough to catch empty boat so they were able to let us stay as long as we wanted.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Jason, thank you for your review, we really appreciate it.
Good times!!
Steve_G, Feb 2023
Our guide was amazing, she was very informative about the history of the island. She made us feel very safe speaking up for us with locals and translating needed information
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for your review! We’re happy to hear that you had a great time.
Best excursion!
Dianne_B, Feb 2023
Best excursion of our trip! RTGA had wonderful communication with us, they were waiting for us when we got out of the port, and were very attentive during our whole time there! The snorkeling was amazing, and our guides for the snorkeling and for driving us around the island were wonderful! Thank so much!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Dianne, thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it! I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed your snorkeling and time with us. Come back!
AWESOME!!!!
Stephanie_S, Feb 2023
This was the highlight of my trip! Daniel (the tour operator) was so accommodating and Juan (our guide) was hilarious and awesome! My friends and I didn't hear the announcement that our cruise ship was letting people go ashore and we were worried we missed the tour since we were late. On top of that, I didn't have wifi or international data, so had no way to contact the tour company. We made it to the assigned spot and Juan was right there as promised, holding a highly visible sign with the tour company name and logo. He and Daniel changed the tour logistics for us so we could not only go snorkeling, but also visit a chocolate factory, see the sights of Roatan, eat one of the best meals of the trip at a local cafe, and let us book an add-on tour to go hold sloths. Juan had the best personality and was a fabulous tour guide. He is an awesome addition to the tour company team. My friends and I loved him! Gracias, Juan! It meant so much to me that a tour company cared so much about its customers -- even when it was TOTALLY our fault that we were late -- that it would go to any lengths to deliver a great experience. 1,000% recommend this tour company and tour!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Stephanie, thank you so much for this amazing review. It's our pleasure, and personally it makes me very happy, that we made it possible for your group. From what Juan told me, he loves you guys too! You all sound awesome! Thank you very much for choosing us as your tour operator, we really appreciate that and we hope that you can come visit the island soon!
Excellent tour, highly recommend
Dorothy_C, Dec 2022
Dani was an excellent teacher and guide. We were 2 first time snorkelers, and he made sure we felt safe and comfortable and knew how to use our equipment. The actual tour was absolutely spectacular, and greatly enhanced by Dani’s knowledge of the marine life and eco system surrounding Roatan. I would absolutely tour with him again and would highly recommend him to family and friends.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Dorothy, thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate it! It makes me really happy that you really enjoyed your snorkeling tour with us. We hope that you come visit us again soon!
You should absolutely book with the Roatan Tour Guide Association
Abigail_T, Nov 2022
This was a fantastic tour. Had a day in Roatan on a cruise stop, and wasn't really feeling any of the ship excursions so I booked this on my own. Dani was fantastic. We did the 3 snorkeling locations, but after we finished snorkeling he also took me around the island doing stops at the chocolate factory where he provided a mini tour, we grabbed pupusas as this great little beach restaurant in the West End, and did a little drive up to a hidden beach and a stop at the Roatan Rum company. He really went above and beyond to show off Roatan. Would absolutely recommend the Roatan Tour Guide Association if you're visiting the island!
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Abi it was my pleasure to show you around our beautiful island! Thank you so much for touring with us and I really appreciate your review and feedback! We hope you can come back!
Solo trip.
Betshina_B, July 2022
The first time going under the water and seeing the life below sea level was sure sureal! I had a great guide; Daniel, he made sure I was super comfortable, he taught me the basics of snorkeling and helped/encouraged me when I was a little scared. He’s an amazing guide and great at what he does.
Response from Host, July 2022
Tina!! Thanks so much for your review! It was our pleasure to take you around! We loved meeting you and we hope you can come back to Roatan! Safe travels!
Perfect snorkeling experience and great price!
Jessica_B, July 2022
Doctor Dive is easy to find in Costa Maya and gave us an excellent small group experience. If you are looking for a quick and easy excursion off the cruise ship for snorkeling this is it! Very informative snorkel guide and we saw lots and lots of sea life that left us wanting more time in the ocean!
Response from Host, July 2022
Thank you but this review was meant for a different company! We are located in Roatan and not Costa Maya. Make sure Doctor Dive gets their review! Cheers.
Great snorkeling and food
Steven_T, Feb 2022
Danny was great. The snorkeling was awesome. He also showed us a local chocolate factory and took us to a local hole in the wall papusa shop for lunch. It was delicious.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Steven! Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate it! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your day in the island. Best regards to you and your lovely family!! Safe travels friend!
Mycket bra
Thomas_A, May 2023
En trevlig snorkling tur där det fanns mycket att se. De kom och hämtade upp oss i hamnen och körde till en annan by där vi även fick tid att gå runt i butikerna med guiden efter snorkel turen. Lätta att få kontakt med via Mail och whats app. Roatan var ett fint ställe att besöka.
