HIGHLY RECOMMEND - VERY PROFESSIONAL - HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROATAN FIVE STARS!!. I had seen great reviews and I booked a trip last minute for my adult children who were cruising by themselves. There was a tropical storm so I had some reservations. I texted the company after hours and they immediately answered my questions and fixed a mistake (my mistake) within minutes. The kids (adults) had the most perfect time even though it wasnt great weather due to a tropical storm. They even had them back to the ship in time to shop off the port. THANK YOU ROATAN FIVE STARS for taking such good care of my family and making their trip PERFECT!!!

Snorkeling and sloth adventure - This was the BEST excursion we did on our entire cruise. It was my husband two children (7-9) and myself. We have NEVER snorkeled before and my children are not strong swimmers yet. We had the best time and my kids really enjoyed it and had little trouble snorkeling. Our guides were great and kept everyone safe. The only thing that could have been better was if they gave a crash course to snorkeling or teach us what to do prior to jumping in the water. They never asked if we had done it before and we never advised so it was just as much our fault as theirs. No complaints and will 100 percent do it again!!!!

Highly recommend - tons of fun - From beginning to end, this was an amazing experience. We did the three stop snorkeling adventure, including the shipwreck starfish and blue channel, and added on a stop to AJ’s monkeys and sloths. Eddie, our driver, picked us up and truly made the day great. He’s so friendly and made sure we had a great time. The snorkeling was incredible! I’ve never seen starfish like these - so big and in such clear water. The shipwreck was fascinating to explore. And the monkeys and sloths topped it off. What an amazing experience!

100% best time! - Roatan 5 Stars has many tours and we pick the monkey/sloth encounter with the 3 stop snorkeling tour. We were cruising with the Harmony of the Seas in September 2024. Meeting with our private guide Daniel was easy; met just outside the port gate. He was very personable from the start! Our first stop on the way to see the sloths was a vista where you can take pics with your cruise ship in the background, in our case at Coxen Bay. Daniel talked about the culture and history of the Islanders in Roatan. The sloth and monkey tour was great! We held Guinea Pigs, a sloth, very cool by the way, and interacted with the white Capuchin monkeys. The folks there are very friendly and enjoy what they do! Our next stop was snorkeling. We went to an area to get the feel of snorkeling and saw starfish. The second stop at the edge of the harbor inlet where we swam around fish in the reef and saw the drop off of the inlet. Last stop was snorkeling around an old steamship wreck. The guys on the boat were very patient with beginner snorkelers and provided water, fruit juice and fruit on the boat. At this point my wife and I could have toured other places since we had time but we were tired and decided to return to the ship. As Daniel said we were on island time and he was very flexible with our time but emphasized the top priority after having fun was to be able to return to the ship in plenty of time! Do not worry about missing the ship! They will ensure you return in ample time! I might add that I was a little worried about where to meet up with Daniel but if you’re at Coxen Bay port just follow the exit signs and they will be holding a placard just outside the gate stating Roatan 5 Stars; very easy! When returning to the ship the port regulations allows them to drop you off inside the port instead of outside where we first met. The folks you meet along the way to the exit that are hawking taxis are very helpful if you mention you’re taking a Roatan 5 Star tour; they will point you in the right direction. All in all a great experience and we will 100% tour with Roatan 5 Stars again in March 2025 on our next cruise! Thanks again Daniel!

Over the top customer service - This excursion exceeded my expectations. I was a bit nervous as this was our first time booking not through the cruise line. We found where we needed to go almost immediately, and we were escorted to our private car within minutes of exciting the port. Once we got to the excursion our driver (Remi) made sure we had everything we needed before we got there. The excursion was a great experience on itself, we got to see lots of wildlife along the reef. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept a close eye on the entire group. That was not what was most impressive. After we were done with the snorkeling excursion we had about 3 or 4 hours to kill before the all aboard on the ship. Remi took it upon himself to invite us to a private tour. He drove us to west end and west bay where he showed us around. He took is to a really good seafood restaurant before dropping us off at the port. 10/10 would recommend. Blew my expectations out of the water. Thanks again Remi

Our Family had a great time. - Went with my family. We had such a good time! The van was well maintained and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and helpful. They really went the extra mile to make sure we all had a good time. We saw beautiful coral, and fish. The guides interacted with us, actively engaging in conversation teaching us about the things we were looking at and pointing out things that we’d want to see. I will definitely be using this company again.
