Roaming in Roatan
Moises picked us up and dropped us off at our resort. He took us to the Sloth/Monkey exhibit and the Mangroves. Along the way he showed us the rich history of Roatan and was very knowledgeable with our inquiries. He even was kind enough to take us to a local supermarket for us to pick up some groceries to bring back to resort. I highly recommend Goodman tours for the knowledge and friendliness they provided.

Touring with ‘my cousin’ Jessica!
In December, Jessica toured my cousin and me around Roatan! It was an absolute delight! When I returned in March, I sought out Jessica again! I had a friend with me this time and Jessica was fantastic! We now like family! Not only did we have a fabulous tour, we got to meet her auntie, visit her store, meet another cousin and then Jessica took us to meet her mom! She made us feel SOO special! It was like a behind the scenes tour! The sloth were a delight, Charlie, the capuchin got upset with me (he’s really a stinker) and tried to take my glasses! We had a fantastic time with Jessica, even though it was raining and traffic was a mess, she got us around town with ease. We even went to a grocery store and purchased vanilla!

Moises was a fantastic guide!
Moises was an incredible guide and was very polite and informative. The kids absolutely loved the sloths and all of Moises’ recommendations. He even took us to the top of the island for an awesome family picture with our cruise ship in the background.

FABULOUS excursion!!!
My cousin has mobility issues and this excursion was positively the greatest way for her to see the island! Getting to hold a sloth, a macaw and playing with the capuchin monkeys was absolutely our crème da la crème of the trip! Jessica was a fantastic guide, she had so much interesting information, answered any and all our questions, she even stopped and got us some local food, fruit and gave us some Honduran money! On a scale of 1-10, we’d give her a 20!!!

Goodman’s tour
Moises was the best tour guide ever. He was very informative about the history of the island. He was also up to date on what is happening on the island currently.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Roatan.
How much does Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Roatan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Roatan is not rushed.
Is Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Roatan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Roatan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Roatan and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Goodman's Tour to the Sanctuary of Rescued Wild Animals start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Roatan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Roatan?
+
On Outty we rank every Roatan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Roatan Wildlife Monkeys,Sloths, chocolate Rum tasting Island Tour, Roatan Monkeys & Sloths + Chocolate & Rum Tasting + Beach Break, Customizable Best Of Roatan Island Tour in Honduras. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Roatan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Roatan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
