About this tour

What the afternoon looks like

Spend the day on Roatan’s west end in your own air-conditioned 17-seat bus, with your own driver and a guide who stays with you from pickup to drop-off. One flat price covers the whole bus for up to 15 guests, so the more of you there are, the better the day works out per person.

We collect you at Port of Roatan or Mahogany Bay and drive west through Coxen Hole, Gravel Bay and Flowers Bay. First stop is Charankako Bay for the three-shore viewpoint, hands-on chocolate and pottery making, and the Garifuna exhibit. Seven minutes on is Gumbalimba Park for the botanical gardens, bird park and monkey park. Five minutes more brings you to Tabyana Beach for two protected hours on the sand, with lunch already paid for.

What the price covers

  • The whole bus, driver and guide for the day, up to 15 guests
  • Every entry fee, $105 per person at the gate
  • Lunch at Tabyana Beach
  • Cold drinks, snacks and WiFi on board

How the day is planned

Nobody else is added to your booking. Tell us your all-aboard time and we build the return with a deliberate buffer in front of it, so the last stop is never a rush.

How many

One flat price in US dollars, whatever the group size. Tour times are Roatan local time, UTC-6, so check your ship's clock against it.

Getting to us

A five minute walk from the cruise terminal. Head east past Fat Tuesday toward the shopping village, and our sign is across the road. Staying at a hotel on the island? Tell us where at checkout and we collect you for free.

Before you come

Travel light. Sunscreen, repellent and water are on sale at the main office, and lockers are there for a small fee. Cameras and phones stay behind on the tour itself, so our team photographs it for you.

If your plans change

More than seven days before the tour date, half the cost comes back to you. Inside seven days we cannot refund it. Either way, call or email us so we can free the slot.
