Unfortunately and breathtaking - This was our 2nd time in Honduras. And definitely the best. Roatan Anderson Tour is the best. Make sure you request DENNIS! This gentleman made our trip. He was so knowledgeable about the area and culture. We learned ALOT and can't wait to be back next time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We have amazing pictures and memories to last forever. The monkeys were adorable. The birds were lively and the glass bottom boat I will never forget. Book ASAP!

Highly recommend - We had a wonderful time,! Leonard was our driver and he made the trip very easy and very enjoyable. The sloths were so cute and the glass bottom/semi submersible boat was amazing! We paid for an extra trip on the boat and saw sea turtles, rays and schools of beautiful fish and starfish. I highly recommend this tour with Anderson Tours.

Enjoyable day - Glass bottom boat tour was incredible and our guide was very knowledgeable. We saw lots of fish, some turtles and lots of different kinds of coral. Leonard was our guide from the sanctuary to the boat tour and he shared lots of information on Roatan as he got us to our destination.

Wonderful guide and tour - From start to finish, I enjoyed this tour and the experiences. Alan, my guide, shared his wealth of knowledge about the island from the start. He was friendly, personable and shared ideas on other experiences on the island. The animal park and zip line staff were friendly and fun. Taking pictures with the animals, getting to hold them, and learning about them from Samir was enjoyable and an unforgettable experience. The zip lines were so much fun. The glass bottom boat had great views of the marine life and coral. I had so much fun on this tour and recommend it to everyone!

Great Experience - Great experience. We had a group of 10 and therefore it turned into a private tour. Sloths were so sweet. Everyone would recommend if you like touristy stuff.

Fun times in Roatan - Friendly staff. Provided us with an additional stop at a chocolate shop. The initial dock we traveled to had overbooked and didn't have room for us on the boat, but our driver found another provider so we still got our full excursion (Thanks Robert).

Definitely Room for Improvement - 1st off I knew there was a walk to get to the shuttle. What I failed to understand was the amount of people ans the terrain we had to maneuver through. We did a ride from the port area (still a bit of a walk) to the shuttle for $12. Our guide/driver, Leonard, was not forthcoming with any information. He was wearing a Roatan Anderson tour shirt and communicated with the shuttle operator enough for us to be 75% confident we were going to the right place. He dropped us off at the zoo entrance. Again no communication until I specifically asked what was to happen next. The zoo tour was amazing. We were sent with a guide and photographer. So cool to get up close to these animals. Photo package at the end was $60, after some bartering. Emailed within 48 hours, with great pictures! Drove around for 30 mins and stopped suddenly in roadway in front of some shops and Leonard asked if we wanted to go to chocolate factory. We declined and then drove another 20 minutes to glass bottom boat. Again dropped off, this time at a beach, with no communication. Beach was over run with locals peddling goods. I understand they are making a living, but telling the same 5 people no 15 times in 30 minutes is frustrating at minimum. Glass Bottom Boat part of the tour was awesome! Air conditioned and lots of ocean life to see! Tight quarters, but I had gathered that by pictures ahead of time. After we finished we had to track down Leonard, who enjoying the beach down the way. He did bring us back safely and on time. We were dropped off at cruise port, so no long trek back.
