Hydrobikes easy to use and a blast! Tyler was the best tour guide! - We LOVED our time in Roatan because of this tour. Tyler is the best driver and guide. He made the experience incredible, going above and beyond for all of our questions and requests. The hydrobikes were a blast. Beautiful water. The bikes were very stable and easy to use. Our bags fit on the front of the bike and didn't get wet the entire ride. The snorkeling was very relaxing, and the private beach at french key was a great way to end the day. 10/10 would recommend for your day in Roatan!

I will be back. - We had such a fantastic time. We went on the most perfect day. For a person who does not ride bikes, this was really easy to do. The water was gorgeous. Our guide Peter was the best. I would definitely recommend.

Unique Experience - We had a wonderful time on this excursion! If you want to try something different this is it. The Hydrobikes are pretty easy to peddle and are very sturdy. We thought we would be more sore after but we weren’t. The snorkeling was fantastic too. We saw lots of conche and sea life! Thank you Tyler, Alex(Pete), Joe and the others that helped make it memorable.

Great Experience!!! Do it. - Dealing the Mark Bodden was fantastic. I sent him multiple emails and his response time was so quick. He also provided excellent information. Peter lead us on our Hydrobikes excursion. He was friendly, knowledgeable and it was obvious -- and charming -- how much he loves Roatan. He took us by the mangroves, French Key, Brady's Kay, among other places. He was in no rush. It was a bit of exercise but it felt great. Jordan captained the ship and Eli lead the snorkeling tour. At some point, Eli noticed some trash on the floor of the ocean. He dove down around 12 feet and picked it up. It was obvious how much he loved and respected the reef. My girlfriend has snorkeled many times. At one point, she came up and said that she felt like crying, she was so happy. She said it was the most beautiful snorkeling experience ever, which is saying something.

Hydrobiking is a blast and much easier than it looks! Give it a try! - A group of 60+ ladies were traveling together on a Royal Caribbean cruise and signed up to do this excursion. While we were a little unsure about the Hydrobiking we all tried it and loved it! It was much easier than we expected and we were able to cover a good bit of water territory. After hydrobiking we were able to snorkel and while we didn't go out on the reef because of high winds, snorkeling in the bay proved to be a lot of fun with lots of fish and coral. We ended the excursion at their private island which is lovely although the food was a bit expensive. We still enjoyed our adventure and they returned us to the cruise ship in plenty of time before we left port.

Nice Leisurely day in the sun! - Fun, active and entertaining. A nice relaxing way to enjoy snorkeling and a little exercise. A bonus is you can see the sloths and monkeys while transitioning from one activity to another. Would recommend!
