Nael Estrada - Tour guide

Marcie_G, Mar 2023

Nael Estrada was our driver. He was amazingly knowledgeable about the region. He went above board to make sure our tour was wonderful. I was on a knee walker and he made sure I was comfortable, able to get around. He made our tour outstanding.

Sloths and monkeys oh my!!

Kristy_S, Mar 2023

This was a different type of excursión as we had a driver to ourselves! Jaron gave us a great tour to visit the sloths and monkeys. Definitely think it was a highlight for my husband to hold the animals. The preserve where they were was great, the guides there were young and therefore not overly friendly and shared the minimum information. Overall we really enjoyed learning from Jaron about the culture and history of Roatan. We felt like we got a good feel for the island including the rum and chocolate factories. Ending at the beach was great. We felt no pressure to hurry and were able to enjoy our time as long as we wanted to. Highly recommend Jaron as a guide!!

Amazing family day in Roatan!

JoseM_A, Mar 2023

Family business offering diverse activities for the whole family. Our tour guide Nael was great; very knowledgeable on Roatan’s history, the life of the locals and today’s events. Nael speaks perfect English and Spanish. Our kids really enjoyed the sloths and monkeys experience. We stopped at the chocolate factory for a brief review of chocolate productions and tasting. Rum store was good; rum cakes are excellent and some of the flavored rums are good. The highlight of the tour was our time at the beach resort. Safe and clean place with beach chairs, multiple places for food/drinks options. Prices are reasonable and food was good. Nael was always on sight looking out for anything we may need. We felt welcomed and always in control of our time. I will definitely book another tour with this company in the future.

Roatan tour/ ask for Arnon / Great Experience!!

Ashley_A, Mar 2023

We had an absolutely amazing time! Arnon was such a great guide! He was kind, patient, informative, and paid close attention to the things I was asking about, and pointed out said things when we passed them on our tour. I had two kids (12 & 5) and Arnon always made sure we didn’t feel rushed and that we were comfortable. Huge plus - he dropped us at the foot of the port!! After a long day with littles, those kinds of things are a big deal! We also bumped into other groups from the same company, and everyone was more than happy with their experiences!! Book it, you won’t forget it! And request Arnon to ensure it’s perfect!!

Spring Break 2023

Our guide/Driver Lawrence was excellent. He was very helpful assisting me being in a wheelchair. Would like to see more accessible vans and attractions for someone who is in a wheelchair.

A visit to Roatan

Wayne_H, Mar 2023

Are driver Elda was excellent? Highly recommend her. Be careful of the monkeys. While in the park one bit me.

Unforgettable Day!

Leana_E, Mar 2023

We had a fantastic experience on this excursion. Our private driver and guide Enrique Oseguera went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great trip. He was very informative about the island and answered all our questions about the local economy, the history of the island and the current real estate market (we are considering investing). The sloth and monkey encounter was informative and memorable. The beach stop was stunning and we ended up adding on a glass boat tour of the reef which was incredible. This excursion was by far one of the best we have ever had, no doubt thanks to our guide.

I’d visit again!

Samantha_S, Mar 2023

We had fun learning about the country while on this tour. The areas were a bit crowded but our tour guide took us to a local spot near a beach. It was just us out there and it was very beautiful. If he takes u there get the breaded fish and thank me later. The food was delicious. We then took a dip in the water. You could see the bottom of the water but be sure to have your water shoes. At the end of our swim we saw a sea urchin.

Thinking of all the small details

ChristopherMalone, Mar 2023

We had a 10 AM pick up the driver was early waiting for us never felt rushed air-conditioned SUV clean pleasant we started off with a cold drink to start our journey. Also, the driver got us local currency so we could bring it back as a souvenir. The small details mean a lot everything that was described in the Tour we did we customized and did not do the snorkeling that was our choice. Highly recommend this company 100% satisfaction. A+++

Family of Four Review

Maritza_B, Mar 2023

We were on a cruise and wanted to have a tour of the island and see Roatan for its beauty and our tour guide hit it out of the park. At first, it was a bit overwhelming. You come out and there are tons of tour guides calling out for their parties but everyone was helpful in trying to find out who you are paired with. Once we found our guide he had us wait as he retrieved his Jeep. It was nice for us as a family of 4 to have one driver in a private vehicle. The island itself has an international airport, two cruise ports and overall is very safe. We stopped for some local drinks (beers or fruit juice depending on your liking) and started the tour heading up the mountain to the animal sanctuary. There we met Flash, a three toed sloth who was so soft and cuddly. The teenager in our group loved this part of the tour. They also have monkeys (careful, they like to grab items like passports) and beautiful birds. I loved this because not only do you get to hold the animals, but you also are taken in for a history lesson of the island. The island depends on tourism so we tipped everywhere we went (not required just nice to help out where we can). We went to the Rum factory where they have delicious rum cakes and rum for sale! Make sure you take pictures outside with the view. We went off to the chocolate factory where we sampled chocolate. And right across the way was a store that sold crafts made by locals. Look across the street at the hotel that has an giant turtle as it’s roof. We ended our tour heading down to the beach and sign for ROATAN. Would highly recommend for anyone with walking difficulties, or anyone who really wants to see the island for its beauty. They speak fluent English and Spanish and accept USD. Many places only accept cash so make sure you have some on hand.

A great excursion.

StJohn_E, Mar 2023

Monkeys & beach time was so much fun. Driver very professional and helpful. Would do ot again. Thanks for all the great communication.

Fun day

RickeyB, Feb 2023

We loved the fun monkey and sloth encounters. The chocolate and Rum cake factories were interesting.

Gerald made our day amazing!

DebbieSchupp, Feb 2023

Gerald was an amazing driver and got us to all the places we wanted without issue. He also answered all the questions from 4 very inquisitive guests. He also took care of us at the beach where we stopped to enjoy food and sunshine. Thanks for a great day of vacation.

Monkeys/sloths

Doug_R, Feb 2023

Enjoyed visiting and interacting with the monkeys/birds/sloth. My daughter loved being able to hold an actual sloth. Chocolate factory was small. More of just a shop. Beaches were also small and crowded.

Great experience

Sharrie_W, Jan 2023

Our tour guide JV was excellent. We much prefer these types of excursions. We like giving to the local economy not the big corporations. My main goal was to hold a sloth 🦥 and I got to do that.

Local color

Quita_R, Jan 2023

Very pleasant day driving to scenic locations with Jv. We were able to set the pace of the sightseeing day. The driver added local color and knowledge of the Island history and customs of the locals.

A Peak into Roaton history and Culture

Alma_L, Jan 2023

Guillermo was a wonderful tour guide! He gave us a history of the locale and added the small stories of family and culture that make every trip to another country more memorable. We loved the sloths and monkeys and we were impressed with how well they were cared for by the employees that worked there. The day was as leisurely as we wanted it to be. Of course we had to try the chocolate as well as take some back to our ship. Thanks Guillermo and Viator!

Dreams do come true

MARK_H, Jan 2023

What a fantastic day. Our driver went over and above to make sure our day was the very best it could be. My wife and I loved it. The sloth and monkey tour was a dream come true. I highly recommend booking this private excursion

Private Tour of the Island with the BEST tour guide Guillermo

Melissa_S, Jan 2023

I had an amazing day on the island of Roatán thanks to the BEST tour guide Guillermo with Roatán Fun Tours. Things to note: * Roatán Fun Tours WILL WAIT for you to get off of the ship. They will not leave without you! As a cruise ship passenger, it is stressful trying to get somewhere by a certain time, especially when the entire ship tries to get off at the exact same time. Rest assured you will have piece of mind with Roatán Fun Tours! * The Melon Water was a nice personal touch! * You will get a tour from a Roatán native, which means learning about the culture and the Island's history as you travel throughout your day! * Since I was traveling solo, I was able to control the pace of the day and the time spent at each location. Guillermo will tailor your day as you wish! I was not a huge shopper, so we spent less time at the market store, and more time at the beach!!! You don't get that courtesy with the big bus tours! Overall, I had an amazing day at Roatán & it was all because of Guillermo! I'll admit it was a bit tricky navigating through the cruise port, and it was quite overwhelming of the amount of people with signs pouncing at you at the port exit. However, I asked the security guard to help me find "Gate 3" as the instructions for the meet up stated, and he pointed out my tour guide was pleasantly and calmly directly across the street from the exit waiting for me, holding a sign that said "Roatán Fun Tours." My tour guide was Guillermo and I had a private tour of the island. To begin the tour Guillermo stopped off at a local fresh market cart and bought me an island favorite "melon water." I had been to Roatán once before and missed out on that. It was the most refreshing drink I have ever had. Guillermo explained that is was fresh smashed/pressed watermelon combined with water and it was served over ice. With melon water in hand, we began our journey. Guillermo was a very cautious driver. He explained the "rules of the road" to me, from his (as a Roatán native) perspective and said "there are no rules." There were no traffic lights, no lines on the roads, no speed limits, but he was a great driver who did not speed or tailgate other vehicles. Our first stop was to Manawakie Park, where I interacted with sloths and monkeys. This was definitely the highlight of my trip. Since I was on a private tour, I also had a private tour at this park. I got to interact with the monkeys first & then the sloths. It was an amazing experience. Neither Guillermo, nor the park leads rushed me at all. I was able to take all of the time I wanted to interact. They had a park photographer that took pictures while I interacted with the animals, and they also allowed me to take my own selfies w/ my cell phone as well. At the end of the tour, I paid $20.00 USD and they sent me the 56 pictures that they took of me as I interacted w/ the animals. Great deal! Guillermo patiently waited for me to complete my tour, with again, no rushing, and no crowds. When I was ready, we moved on to the next stop. The next stop was the Mayak Chocolate experience. Here, they gave a brief overview of how they grow and break the cacao beans to create the magical chocolate they serve. Next, they provided a sample of at least 6 or 7 different types of chocolate they make. We also could see the "chocolatiers" making the chocolate bars through the glass window. We then could browse their store and I absolutely made a purchase! The white chocolate in particular, was so much different than I ever tasted! It was delicious. I was able to buy a mixed box of 9 chocolate bars for $15.00. Again, Guillermo walked around the store and gave me all of the time I needed for browsing and shopping. Next, we stopped in at The Rusty Fish Craft Market, which was right across the parking lot from the chocolate store. This had all sorts of handcrafted items, mainly jewelry, and hand carved items from wood. Everything in the store was handmade and beautiful. This was a great place to buy a few souvenirs to commemorate my time in Roatán. The next stop was to the Roatán Rum Company, which offered their homemade rum and rum cake selections! This was also a great stop! They let us sample a great selection of both rum cakes and rums. I purchased their Spiced Rum ($30) as well as a 6 pack of rum cakes ($39.) All transactions were in USD. In addition to the rums and rum cakes, the also had a selection of hot sauces & premium Honduran coffee infused with coconut rum. They also had premium hand rolled Honduran cigars infused with chocolate rum. Overall, this was an excellent location stop. As if that wasn't enough, when you walked out the back door of this place, there was a breathtaking view from the mountaintop down to the oceanside, which made for a fantastic selfie capture! We ran into Guillermo's son, Jeffrey, who was giving another group a tour of the island! It was so great to meet the magic behind Roatán Fun Tours! I love that this is a family run company as well. The next stop was to the Beach! Guillermo took me to the West Bay beach area that had a place to grab lunch, Annie's Boardwalk Café. I ordered two Monkey La Las which are one of the signature drinks of the island. It's similar to a mudslide and the cost was $14 each. I also ordered the two lobster tail entrée that was $28. They did upcharge a small fee to use a credit card, so USD cash is preferred. They also have free wifi as well as a restroom for customers. After my fantastic lunch, I walked the beach a bit. There are a collection of hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. along the beach with each offering a different type of music. Each provided its own set of beach chairs. It was very active in the West Bay, so if you are looking for a quiet beach retreat, this was not for you. I spent the most time at this stop and relaxed a bit before heading back to my ship. Our last and final stop was at the "Roatán" sign to get the signature picture! Guillermo pulled off to the side of the road, and snapped a few pics of me with the sign. He is a great photographer, since he was able to capture the entire sign without cutting off any letters!! We then headed back to the ship! If you want the tailored experience to tour the island, Book w/ Guillermo & Roatán Fun Tours!

thank you so much for a awesome review am happy you enjoyed your tour with us happy new year

Pictures taken can be pricey...negotiate lower or take your own

MIchael_K, Dec 2022

The overall tour was very good and our tour guide Roger made us feel like we were in good hands. The monkey and sloth part was very good but don't expect a top notch zoo setting. As with other Viator excursions, the meeting place tends to be too vague. No one is at the pier area when you get off to guide you. The staff seemed very friendly and enjoy taking lots of picture for the upsell later.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

hello am happy you enjoyed the tour and our driver roger just to notify you the pictures are not part of us that the animal park
