Perfect day in Roatan
This was a great experience for my husband and I. We visited Roatan on a cruise. From my initial emails with Mishelle til the end of our day with Darnell, everything went perfectly. I was reluctant to book an independent excursion on our first cruise, but I am so glad we did. I asked Mishelle a bunch of questions beforehand. Her responses were immediate, informative and reassuring. We were able to choose which Animal Sanctuary (we wanted to go to AJs Monkeys and Sloths) to visit, and which beach to visit afterwards (we chose Brady's Cay). This tour company accomodated our requests with ease and kindness. The directions to find our driver after disembarking the ship were clear and easy to follow. We met Darnell on the other side of the pier gate, and what a joy she was! She safely and expeditiously took us to Ajs, and we were first to arrive at this perfect little operation in Roatan. We toured AJs at our own speed, visited with the animals and learned from several guides at the facility. Darnell was waiting to greet us as we finished and continued on to our visit at Brady's Cay. Again, she helped us get settled at this little island resort and was ready to return us to the cruise ship whenever we were ready to depart. We were sad our day trip to Roatan was over- but we will certainly be returning and will happily use MJ Tours and Attractions (and request Darnell as our tour guide) in the near future.
Response from the operator: Hi ,it was my pleasure to answer all of your questions ,Thank you for choosing us to be part of your family vacation ,thank you for the positive feedback we cant wait to welcome you and your husband again soon.

Best Tour Company!!
I found MJ Tours while researching tour groups for our upcoming cruise to Roatan, and I am so happy I did! Michelle and her team are amazing. From the moment I reached out, she responded right away and was very helpful and informative. This gave me peace of mind as it was the first time we were traveling with our 3 kids in a foreign country. When we arrived, it was pouring rain and windy! I was nervous we would not be able to enjoy our beach day, but when I reached out to them, they assured me that they can adjust and take us on a city tour instead. Thankfully, the weather cleared up, and we enjoyed the beach, which is incredible. The animal sanctuary is incredible and a must-do. TJ was our personal driver for the day and is awesome!! He shared so much history/info on the island as he drove us around. He stayed with us at each stop and gave us some great tips to enjoy our time on the beach. I highly recommend MJ Tours. They are professional, experienced, and, most importantly, friendly and caring!
Response from the operator: Hi Ms Vanessa so happy to hear you and your family had an amazing time here on the island 🏝 Thank you for the positive feedback come back and visit us again soon.

VIP Brady's Cay experience
Darnell with MJ Tours and Attractions was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! She shared so much about the island while driving us to and from Brady's Cay. We loved every minute of it! The water was clear and calm. Tons of lounge chairs. We had nachos and garlic butter shrimp and the food was delicious! We definitely recommend visiting Brady's Cay and request Darnell as your tour guide! It made it even better that we got to try some of her homemade key lime pie!
Response from the operator: Hi Ms Robin so happy to hear you'll had an amazing time here on the island 🏝 Thank you for the positive feedback come back and visit us again soon.

Great Island Experience!
I have visited Roatan for mission trips many times and had the opportunity to take my grandchildren on a cruise that would visit the island. We chose MJ Tours to take us to see the sloths, monkeys, iguanas, and have beach time at Brady's Cay. From the time we exited the port until we were returned promptly back to the ship, Erick and Kayla were awesome to spend the day with and catered to everything our group of 8 needed! I definitely recommend them to anyone that wants to try an excursion not related to their cruise ship!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the positive feedback. We delighted to know you'll had an amazing time here on the island 🏝. Come back and visit us again soon.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Beach Animals Sanctuary: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Roatan.
How much does Private Beach Animals Sanctuary cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Private Beach Animals Sanctuary take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private Beach Animals Sanctuary worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Beach Animals Sanctuary?
+
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 Private Beach Animals Sanctuary suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Beach Animals Sanctuary?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Beach Animals Sanctuary 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 Hydrobike Harbor Tour, Reef Snorkel & Private Island Beach Break, Roatán Island Tour: Sloth & Monkey Park, Rum, and Chocolate, Roatan Wildlife Monkeys,Sloths, chocolate Rum tasting Island Tour. 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.
What is included in Private Beach Animals Sanctuary?
+
