Interacting with the...
Interacting with the monkeys was a blast. They jump all over you and make it fun. No one is allowed to touch the sloths anymore which was a little disappointing but understandable.

Perfect excursion for cruisers or anyone
We booked out excursion here rather than through Royal Caribbean, and I’m so glad we did. The trip was about half the price of what we would have paid booking a similar excursion through the cruise line, and the experience was fantastic. Our guide explained that booking directly also means more of the money actually stays with the local tour company and guides rather than a large portion going to the cruise line, which made us even happier with our decision. Finding them was much easier than I expected. We simply walked out of the main cruise port gate and asked where Gate 1 was. Everyone we encountered was happy to point us in the right direction. Our group was smaller, which made the whole experience feel much more personal. The bus was very nice, comfortable, well air-conditioned, and even had chargers. Our guide, Ria/Rita, was friendly, knowledgeable, a great driver, and made us feel completely safe throughout the day. The sloth and monkey sanctuary was wonderful, and the beach was beautiful. I didn’t snorkel myself, but others said the snorkeling was great as well. What really set ROA Adventures apart, though, was how they treated us when things didn’t go according to plan. My daughter became ill during the excursion, and our guide went completely out of the way to make sure she could get back to the ship as quickly as possible—even though doing so added at least an hour of extra driving round-trip. There was no hesitation; they simply took care of us. Then my mom realized she had left her water bottle behind. Amazingly, they made that long drive AGAIN just to bring her water bottle back to the ship! That level of kindness and customer service is something you don’t forget. We got a smaller, more personal tour, paid about half of what we would have through the cruise line, felt safe and well cared for, and had a company that genuinely went above and beyond for our family. I would book with ROA Adventures again in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting Roatán on a cruise, I highly recommend booking directly with them. They absolutely earned this five-star review!

Monkey and sloth sanctuary and private beach
Our tour guide was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our questions! She got us everywhere safely and managed our time well and made sure we were back to port in plenty of time. The excursions themselves were wonderful! We had a lot of time with all of the animals and learned so much about the native species. The private island was so beautiful! The beach was clean with crystal blue water, lots of marine life to see while snorkeling, and the drinks were 💯! We can’t wait to come back!

Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Roatan.
How much does Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 198 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Roatan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break?
+
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 Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break?
+
Around 69 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break 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 Roatan Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary and Beach Break?
+
