Wonderful tour. Jacob was...
Wonderful tour. Jacob was a great guide and very accommodating. Sloth, monkey and macaw experience was lots of fun. Snorkel trip on a small boat to a quiet area with an amazing reef was great
via Viator
Was one of the best experiences of our life! Felt safe and excited about the excursion.
Helped find us right out of the port to our van. Was fun and insightful the whole time. Carlos was just the best!!! Would trust to book again!!

Animals & Snorkeling
Finding our tour guide was a little confusing. Other tour guide companies pointed us in the right direction. We were in a small group (only 10 people). Rex was our driver the whole time. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I'd wear a ball cap if you are planning on going in the monkey enclosure. The monkeys will sit on your head and their little paws are sandy. We saw a lot of fish snorkeling and the guides were great. Everyone spoke English. Overall a great trip!

Fun and great people
The monkeys and sloths were so fun to see. Our driver Aisha was a great guide for us. All the people who helped us were friendly and helpful.

Highly recommend! Great deal!
Pick up was a little chaotic, but to be expected with so many people coming off of a cruise. Our driver, Monique was incredible very knowledgeable and helpful. She even made an extra stop at the chocolate factory for us. The monkeys, sloths, and birds were so fun to experience. Had a great time! The snorkeling was awesome. They took us out pretty far and we were able to see a lot of fish definitely would recommend to anyone.

Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Roatan.
How much does Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure 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 Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 49 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 Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure?
+
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 Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure 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 Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure?
+
Around 17 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 Shore Excursion: Monkey & Sloths Sanctuary Snorkel Adventure 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.
