        Amazing
        This tour is definitely worth it! Dani and Mario made our time in Roatan amazing and definitely made me want to go back. They were punctual with their timing and made sure we were comfortable all day.

        Best Snorkeling in the WORLD!!
        RTGA and Dani took our family on the best snorkeling trip we’ve ever had, even better than the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. He is so knowledgeable and nice, it is absolutely worth your time and money to book with RTGA. They exceeded our expectations!

        Amazing Snorkeling Adventure - Puts Others to Shame
        My family and I recently went on an incredible snorkeling tour with Mario in the West End of Roatan, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! Mario took us to two amazing spots: the Blue Channel and the Aquarium. Both locations were stunning, with vibrant coral reefs and an abundance of colorful fish that put other snorkeling tours we'd done to shame. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, showcasing the beauty of the second-largest barrier reef in the world. What made this tour even more special was that it was completely private. This meant we could explore at our own pace without worrying about keeping up with a group. Mario was an excellent guide, and his knowledge of the local marine life made the experience even more enriching. Don't let the fact that you're not a strong swimmer, prevent you from doing this tour! I used a life jacket and snorkeling equipment provided by Mario, which made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience. You don't need to be an expert swimmer to enjoy the beauty of Roatan’s underwater world. If you're planning a trip to Roatan, I highly recommend spending part of your vacation exploring the island's vibrant marine life with Mario. You won't regret it!

        Food, drinks good, snorkeling not so much
        Overall great! Dani's driver Mario was fantastic, super nice and informative. He picked us up from our hotel and we left out of west end around 2 and came back around sunset. The food was a super good chicken kabob and had chips/salsa, lots of drinks (beer/liquor). I was a little disappointed that the net on the catamaran was gone, but it was fine cause we ended up dancing on it. And the snorkel stop wasn't really good, we saw more fish and just as clear water just off the shore. A little pricey at $165 but overall good!

        Booking again next year.
        We have traveled to Roatán every year over the past 6 years and this was the first year we made on the Catamaran, we can not believe we have been missing out this great tour. As a family we had 4 adults and 2 eleven year girls, we all had a great time. Added bonus Manuel was also a tour guide on the catamaran.

        The Best Private Tour - it's a must!!!
        We had the absolute best day in Roatan thanks to Dani and his team through RTGA. We took a private catamaran ride for 4 hours. Dani sent very detailed instructions prior to our visit making it easy to find out where we needed to be and when. He met us at the meeting point and introduced us to our driver - Jovin - who was great. We took a short drive to the marina and boarded the catamaran and met Captain Cary, Eric and Daniel. They were fantastic the entire trip! It was so awesome to have our own private boat - we had an open bar and Eric the bartender made great drinks and whipped up some awesome snacks including fruit, meats and cheese and delicious Ceviche. We cruised the south shore or Roatan - learned some great facts, conversed with the captain and ended up at a fantastic snorkeling spot - where we geared up and were taking around by Daniel to see tons of great fish in the gorgeous water - with no other people around! After snorkeling we made it to the animal sanctuary and it was so great to pull up in our private boat and not worry about tons of other people. After seeing the sloths and monkeys we made our way back to the boat and cruised back down to the marina. My teen kids loved sitting at the front of the ship the entire ride, snorkeling and jumping off the boat while we were at our snorkeling spot. I cannot recommend this crew and company enough. We absolutely had an amazing day thanks to them and I am already thinking of how I can return to do it again. Thank you Roatan Tour Guide Association for making our first trip to Roatan a huge success for the entire family - from teens to seniors!

        Bluest Blue Best Snorkeling Experience!
        We had an awesome experience snorkeling with the Roatan Tour Guide Association. There were tons of colorful fish, and the highlight was seeing a spotted eagle ray! The water was the bluest blue, the visibility was fantastic, and the water was warm. Overall, it was a great experience for our family, including a first-time snorkeling child. Dani, the owner, was quick to respond to my questions and easy to coordinate with before the tour. Mario, our guide, was peppy and loves his job! Roatan was a day stop for us on a cruise; Mario drove us from/to the terminal; after snorkeling, we enjoyed lunch and beach time before heading back – Mario was very responsive to our needs. Having a guide for ourselves and only one other couple on the boat with their guide was a treat compared to other options. Note on equipment—they have Cressi brand equipment, which is good but used and better than other tours we’ve had. For reef protection, they did not provide fins, fyi, since we swim so close to it. I highly recommend the Roatan Tour Guide Association!

        Super fun and interesting bean-to-bar chocolate making experience!
        What a fantastic experience! Dani is so knowledgeable about the history of chocolate making and the growing and use of beans in Honduras. It was so interesting to learn about where in Honduras the chocolate beans come from, and how they are supporting local communities and ecosystems. Making the chocolate bars was so much fun and super hands on, we literally made our own chocolate from bean to bar, and it is insanely delicious! Excellent tour, highly recommend!

        Chocolate Making Class Review
        My teen aged daughter and I took the class. It was fun and informative, and you have a chocolate bar to take home. It was a great thing to do to take a break from the sun for a few hours!

        Beautiful night snorkeling in Half Moon Bay
        Awesome experience! Guides were super friendly, accommodating and responsive. Definitely worth experiencing the reef in a different and unique way, and seeing some different creatures than you’d see in the daytime.

        If you’re looking for a great experience-you’ve found it!
        This tour was fantastic!! Dani happily accommodated our requests and answered all of our questions within minutes. Andres was our guide-couldn’t have been a sweeter guy. He basically gave us a mini tour on the way to the boat, chatted about the island and all sorts of things. He explained where to go at each dive spot and then free dived along side us to point out any particularly interesting fish, squid, etc. Also, the snorkel equipment was like new and very comfortable. Highly recommend!!!

        Our favorite snorkeling tour ever.
        5 stars. Our trip was delayed due to smoke closing the airport. Dani was very understanding and willing to reschedule several times. It was a private boat tour. Our guide Mario was amazing. We loved all 3 snorkel spots. Beautiful coral, so many fish. Mario kept a pace we could easily follow and use our GoPros. He pointed out a lot of wonderful things. We even received photos he took while we snorkeling around The Aquarium. We did not expect photos. This was our favorite snorkeling experience ever! Definitely recommend this tour.

        Unforgettable Catamaran Adventure with Roatan Tour Guide
        Our experience with Roatan Tour Guide was nothing short of exceptional. We booked a private catamaran for our large group, and they went above and beyond to accommodate everyone, even more than we initially booked. Their flexibility was evident when they adjusted our ride to the boat, ensuring everyone was comfortable and ready for the adventure. Once on board, the crew continued to impress us with their hospitality and professionalism. The catamaran was spacious and well-maintained, providing a perfect setting for our group to relax and enjoy the stunning views of Roatan. The snacks provided were delicious and plentiful, adding to the overall enjoyment of our trip. Every detail was meticulously taken care of, making our time on the catamaran a highlight of our visit to Roatan. If you're looking for a reliable and accommodating tour guide service in Roatan, I highly recommend Roatan Tour Guide. They truly know how to deliver an unforgettable experience!

      I did 5 tours with this lovingly couple. I can't praise them enough. I'm a mature women traveling solo. They treated me like Royalty I felt like part of their family. They were caring & understood my every need. Every tour I enjoyed 100%. They made sure of my safety and that each experience was amazing.
      They have so much knowledge. I love animals and they made sure I not only saw all the wild life but was able to interact with them
      I have done many tours in my life and this couple is the BEST.
      Their price is responsible, they are always on time. They didn't expect large tips their only expectation was I have the time of my life.
      They Achieved this

      We had a very nice time with Mario who was our guide. He picked us up on time and drove responsibly and safely. He was very sweet and his enthusiasm was wonderful to be around! The drive going through towns to see the Roatán culture and Mario giving us some history on things was very informative. The mangroves were beautiful and the water was crystal clear. There was not a whole lot to see in the area you snorkel in but the water is lovely and refreshing. Lunch in Punta Gorda was tasty and we enjoyed watching the people move around their day in the little town. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day.

      These guys are the real deal! Our day trip was private, and completely tailored to our preferences. Adrian, our tour guide, was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and just an all around good guy to hang out with all day. We especially enjoyed snorkeling off Port Royal and lunch in Punta Gorda - delicious! We were so impressed with RTGA that we booked another trip the next day! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

      Wow!! What an awesome day it was!! Daniel (the owner of the company) went above and beyond to assure my East End experience was great!! Andrés, my tour guide for the day, picked me up from the hotel on time and we went to the other side of the island to explore! When we got there , we took a boat ride with the coolest captain ever (who actually looked like a reincarnation of Bob Marley😆😆) and drove to our first snorkeling spot! I was amazed by how many fishes were were able to see not even mentioning all those stunning corals! 🙂🙃🙂Then we went to Mangroves and not only rode through them but also snorkel around them!!! The next stop was a Trico bar!!! OMG!! The views!! Guys, even if you don't feel like an afternoon cocktail, you must go on the second floor of the restaurant and look at that view! 😍😍For a teaser, check our some of my photos attached to this review. Then we went to a lovely local restaurant for a lunch (right on the water). I was sipping a coconut water while laying in the hammock waiting for the most delicious lunch to be served. And yes, lunch was exceptional! Then we got back to West Bay (where I was staying) and it was an awesome day!

      We had the most amazing adventure. Snorkeling in Port Royal then in the mangroves. WOW is the only word that one can utter when you arrive at the mangroves. The water is the most clear I have ever seen and the spot was so beautiful. We enjoyed a nice lunch in Punta Gorda. Our guide, Mario was super nice and did a great job at accommodating our every need. This tour was unique in the sense that we felt connected to the local people and culture. The boat captain told us a lot about the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour. Not all tour operators in Roatan are punctual and legit but these guys are. After coming to Roatan for many years and having dealt with many folks, I can honestly say I will most definitely take another tour with this outfit in the future. No doubt. And you should too!

      We are chill people. We did 3 tours with Dani. Scheduled them the day before because we were winging it.. but next time maybe try and hit it a week before.. Dani was quick to reply and any concerns we had, he was there. Fair and honest guy. Had two other guys, Patrice and Andres. Pick us up. They were chill. Overall good experience. We never waited. Super punctual.

      Dani is fantastic. He is friendly, knowledgeable of Roatan and educated @ Univ of New Orleans. He also is connected very well locally and set anything up you want. In addition to the mangrove tour he set up a sloth visit, took us snorkeling and taught a group of us how to make chocolate from bean to final product. It is hard for me to imagine a better or more trustworthy guide in all of Roatan
