Stress free day in Roatan
Highly recommend!! These guys saved the day. I contacted them via their US number on the morning we pulled into port. 15 minutes later walked off the ship to meet up with our private driver Jonathan, who was very knowledgeable about the island and so very nice. We were in such good hands we were able to enjoy our time with no worries. Jonathan was punctual arriving back at the beach at our agreed time to bring us back to the ship I will be using this company for all up coming trips to roatan. They have many excursions to choose from or create your own. If you call them and let them know what you want they will create for you. Roatan is beautiful, and Jonathan (Roatan Exclusive) made it the perfect day!

Best Cruise Excursion We Have Ever Taken — We Left Feeling Like Family
We have taken many cruise excursions, but our day with José and Roatan Exclusive was simply the best we’ve ever experienced. What was supposed to be a 3–4 hour private Roatán Highlights Tour became nearly six incredible hours because José kept personalizing the day for us — and still had us back at our Carnival ship two hours before departure. My wife Connie uses a wheelchair. José insisted on pushing her himself and never treated her mobility as an inconvenience. He showed us the Roatán he loves: local food, beer, chocolate, coffee, scenic areas and places we never would have experienced on a crowded cruise excursion. At Mayan Eden, José introduced us to Juan Carlos, an exceptional sanctuary guide. Despite steep, difficult terrain, Juan Carlos helped us get Connie through the sanctuary and gave us unforgettable encounters with butterflies, toucans, monkeys, sloths and boas. He also took phenomenal photos and videos using our own iPhones. When we finished, rather than make Connie negotiate another difficult hill, Juan Carlos called José, who drove down to pick us up. That sums up the entire experience: instead of telling us what couldn’t be done, they figured out how to make it happen. José even shared his personal phone hotspot when I unexpectedly needed internet access to deal with a banking problem. By the end of the day, José wasn’t simply our tour guide. We had talked about Roatán, business, family and life and genuinely felt we’d made a friend. José later told us we were now part of the Roatan Exclusive family. That’s exactly how it felt. We arrived as customers. We left feeling like family. If you’re coming to Roatán on a cruise, skip the crowded bus and book Roatan Exclusive. Five stars without hesitation. We would book with José again in a heartbeat!
Response from the operator: This review truly means a lot to all of us. What you described goes far beyond a tour, and that is exactly the kind of connection we hope to create when someone chooses Roatan Exclusive. José genuinely enjoyed spending the day with you and Connie, and Juan Carlos will be very happy to know how much his care and effort meant to you as well. We believe the best experiences come from paying attention, adapting, and finding a way to make the day work for each guest rather than simply following a schedule. Thank you for trusting us with your time in Roatán and for allowing us to share the island in such a personal way. And yes — we meant it when we said it: you arrived as our guests, but you left as part of our Exclusive Family. We’ll be here whenever Roatán brings you back.

Great private excursion for cruise passengers!
We had a great experience on this private tour with Moses. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and had a nice air conditioned van for transportation. The animal sanctuary was fantastic! The guide there was very good, and we got to hold birds, monkeys and a lemur! We got our picture made with a sloth! After the sanctuary, Moses drove us all over the island. We went to the rum and chocolate factories. We didn’t want to spend any time on the beach, so Moses took us to see some other beautiful areas.
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you enjoyed your day with Moses! One of the best parts of a private tour is being able to adjust the experience around what you actually want to do, so we’re happy he could skip the beach and use that time to show you more of the island instead. It’s also great to hear you enjoyed the sanctuary and the other stops along the way. Thank you for choosing Roatan Exclusive and for recognizing the friendly, flexible service Moses provided throughout your day.

Roatan Exclusive A++ Cruise Excursion
5-Star Tour with Johnathan …went to all the places as promised. Excellent communication before and during. Easy to find the tour guide once exiting the port. Thank you!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing this! We’re glad everything felt smooth from the communication before your arrival to meeting Jonathan outside the port and enjoying the full itinerary as planned. We put a lot of attention into making our private tours easy, organized, and stress-free from the very beginning, so it’s great to know that came through during your day in Roatán.

Book the tour, you won’t regret it!
This excursion was better than I expected. I had an issue with the booking and they were extremely helpful and willing to work with me to ensure everything was set up correctly. The day of the excursion we met Davis who went above and beyond ensuring we saw everything we wanted to see and then some!
Response from the operator: We’re really glad we were able to get everything sorted out before your tour and make the whole experience easy for you. Once you were with Davis, the goal was simply to make the day feel personal, flexible, and worth every minute you had in Roatán. Thank you for trusting us to make it right, and we’re so happy the experience ended up exceeding your expectations!

Roatan Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth Sanctuary: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Roatan.
How much does Roatan Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth Sanctuary cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth Sanctuary 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 Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth Sanctuary worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 75 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 Roatan Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth 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 Roatan Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth Sanctuary 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 Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth Sanctuary?
+
Around 26 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 Private Excursion and Monkey Sloth 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.
