Excellent Tour! - Mario Picked us up at the cruise terminal and drove us over to the West End. The process was seamless and he ensured we had a phenomenal time. We stopped at three spots for snorkeling and saw an abundance of fish, coral, and even a turtle. He had lunch spot picked out already and we enjoyed some good ceviche and views of the ocean before being taken back to the port with plenty of time before the required time to be back onboard. This was a 1st class experience that was tailored to the needs of the group without there being much pressure to do anything that you don't want to do. We had small kids that wanted to get in and out of the boat for experience and fun and they were easily able to do so. This is an easy way to do some great snorkeling, have a good lunch, and see/ learn about the island for the day without stress of missing the ship.

This was easily one of... - This was easily one of the best excursions I’ve ever booked. Dani’s communication was great and set us up with Jayson as our driver and Valentin as a snorkel instructor. Jayson was super knowledgeable about the island and was very accommodating. Valentin brought us to the most beautiful snorkeling I’ve ever done.

Great afternoon snorkeling with Dani - We had a fantastic time with Dani’s team! They picked us up in a boat by our hotel and brought us to the starting location. The whole crew did a great job - Valentin, Johan, and James. Two of them swam the reefs with us (first time a guide has done that for us) and pointed out all kinds of fish and corals. The three locations we visited were all beautiful! The trip was well organized. Things were explained to us before we did them - like what direction we would go, how deep or shallow the water would be, etc. We will definitely contact Dani for another trip when we return to Roatan!

Great company to work with! - We can't say enough good things about the Roatan Tour Guide Association. Their guides are enthusiastic and the company is very flexible and easy to work with. We had scheduled several things a few years ago but airline snafus axed the total trip and the RTGA was super easy to work with. This time we had a few tours with them. The snorkeling areas were fantastic; it was like swimming in an aquarium.

Best snorkel day ever!!! - Best ever snorkel tour! We had Mario (best of the best!) as our tour guide and snorkel master, ha! He knew all the best spots, gave us great instruction, and catered to us! He is so passionate about snorkeling and kept us super engaged. Mario is so educated in the sea life as well as the Roatan history. The West End was without a doubt the best place to snorkel and a fun place to visit. The water is simply amazing. We were picked up at the cruise port and driven across the island to meet up with the small boat and Captain. We had options to visit the Chocolate Factory and go to lunch afterwards as well! Dani the owner provided clear and specific info on where to meet and confirmed our tour. Great communication! I can’t recommend this tour enough!!!

Highlight of our trip - We booked this snorkel trip in Honduras. Our cruise arrived later than our tour time. Dani was so accommodating and assured us they would wait for us. He was very prompt to respond to messages. Dani and Mario met us at the port. Both were friendly and excited for us to be there. They made us feel very safe and taken care of. Mario was our guide. He was enthusiastic and informative. He drove us to the boat where we met Captain Reyes who took us out to the snorkeling spots. Mario fitted us with gear and instructions and off we went with him leading the way. The 3 spots they took us were amazing! I have never seen so many colorful fish on a snorkel trip. We even saw a turtle and a barracuda. We stopped at the chocolate factory and at the roatan sign for a picture on the way back. We highly recommend this tour! Mario, Dani and Captain Reyes were the best!

Amazing Roatan Snorkeling! - I highly recommend this private boat snorkeling experience! There were 4 of us. We were picked up at the cruise port and taken to the boat. Mario was an outstanding tour guide! They took us to 3 different snorkeling locations in the West end and they were all amazing! Mario swam with us and led us through the coral reefs, pointing out many things. His enthusiasm and love of the reefs were inspiring. It was the most beautiful coral reef we've ever seen. There were tons of fish!

Fantastic experience! - Julio and James were fabulous and full of cultural information. James was our snorkel guide and put us on species (squid, conch and morays) that we might have missed without his diligence. We will definitely book with Dani and his team the next time we are in Roatan.

Conscientious and knowledgeable guides! - Our guide Dani showed us a great time! He was very proud of Roatan and knowledgeable about the area, which we enjoyed hearing about! He made some special stops for us to get great empandas, t-shirts, and rum. The snorkeling was nice and we saw some great marine life. We shared the boat with another couple and guide which was fine. Our guide, Valentine, didn't really speak to us and seemed a little scared of us, but warmed a little by the end. It would have been great if the snorkel guides knew more identification of the corals, fish, and othe rmarine life for folks that are interested. They were very reef conscious and we really liked that! Overall a fabulous experience!
