We had the best experience. Of all the excursions, this was our favorite. Diana was wonderful. We absolutely loved her. Marvin was great and did a great job showing us how to ride the horses. We will definitely book again. Thank you for making our trip so amazing.

Great excursion! Our driver and guide, Tyler, was exceptional. The tour of the island , horseback riding along the beach, rum and chocolate tasting, and the views made the tour very worthwhile. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Tyler.

5.0 Super fun tour with an awesome local guide

Dez_F, January 2026

Julio was our local guide. He was very flexible and even though our ship arrived late and then had to tender us to the port, he was patiently waiting for us and we were still able to see everything we wanted to. The horseback ride was a fun, short ride. The horses needed no guidance as they were well trained and very tame. My partner did not want to do the horseback riding part so they were able to wait in the air conditioned souvenir shop while I was on the ride. From there, we went to the chocolate factory and then the rum factory. I absolutely loved the chocolate factory and bought chocolate bars, powder, cocoa tea, soap and cocoa butter to take home. We drove through the small town and when I saw an item in a store window that I wanted, Julio parked so that I could run in and get it. He also took us to two different large Roatan signs and took pictures of the two of us. We also stopped in another souvenir shop, at our request, before heading back to the port. Julio did also offer to take us to two different animal preserves for just the cost of the admission fee, as we were passing them and had extra time, but we declined. We rode around in a little Honda Accord, just Julio and the two of us, for the entire tour. It was great to be able to go at our pace and to have a knowledgeable, polite, local guide. For those nervous about going through Viator and not the cruise ship, the directions they give you are super accurate. If it is crowded when you get to the final exit gate and people are just standing there clueless as they were when we went, just say excuse me and walk through the gate. There are guards there directing traffic and people but please do not be alarmed. There will be lots of commotion but the tour guide’s sign is very clear, professionally made and easy to see. Their uniforms also match the tour company name. After getting past that craziness, we felt 100% safe traveling with Julio and he was an excellent driver. We got back to the port with plenty of time to shop at the port if we wanted and to tender back to the ship. We were not rushed at all during any point on the tour. When we spoke to people on our ship who went on a tour through the cruise line to the chocolate factory, rum factory and through the little town as we did, they did not have a good experience and they were shocked when we told them about how well Julio treated us as our personal guide. I was happy to tell them all about Julio and Viator so that when they cruise again, they can book with confidence.

5.0 Excellent tour! Highly recommend! Perfect for cruise excursions!

Karen M, January 2026

Sinthia was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable and accommodating! As she drove us around the island to our different stops, she shared a lot about island life. She even stopped for empanadas per our request! The horseback riding was a lot of fun! And the rum and chocolate stops were the perfect combination to wrap up our tour!

4.0 Great day

Rachel_R, January 2026

Our guide was great. The horseback riding was along a beach with the option of riding in the water a bit. We enjoyed the chocolate tasting quite a bit. It was nice to have our own private tour without worrying about driving or parking.

5.0 First Horseback Riding Experience

Andrea_S, December 2025

This tour with the horseback riding was always a dream and to have the opportunity was very satisfying.. Some of the reviews indicated that there was no experience riding and I was like great- because we never rode a horse before. Our guide Phil was amazing- after sorting out the logistics at the Port- the tour began and Phil was soo knowledgeable about ha home town and we enjoyed the trips to the chocolate and rum factories. The horses seemed very back riding was the highlight- our guide Marvin made the experience soo enjoyable- and the horses seemed very friendly and were very aware of their tasks. It made the experience soo enjoyable and memorable - that we are still talking about the trip

5.0 Amazing

Jason_W, December 2025

Excellent experience. The booking process was simple and the communication between Roatan Tucan Adventours was easy. They provided step-by-step instructions on how to meet our tour guide and start our excursion. Our private driver named Garland was exceptional. He was full of useful information, courteous patient and spent the whole day with us. Our first stop was the horse ride on the beach. It was beautiful and went through a local access to a beach. The beach was different than the other tourist beaches as it went by several residential houses and helped us get a better feel for the island. The staff made sure that we were seated well on our horses and the guide, Michael, made sure that we were comfortable and knew everything we needed to know to have a safe and enjoyable time. Next, Garland took us to the chocolate factory for local made chocolate, which was delicious then Garland recommended a local shop where we could look at crafts specifically made on the island. The last planned stop on our trip was the rum makers factory. It said on top of a beautiful mountain provided samples of rum and rum cakes and then allowed us to have a drink on the back porch overlooking the scenic Bay. While the planned excursion was over, Garland , let us know that he was at our disposal for anything else we wanted to do. Last, he recommended a local place called mama’s kitchen where we had f fried lobster, fried fish, and fried shrimp served with plantains, rice and beans, and a small salad. The food was amazing, and I would highly recommend it to anybody else. All in all, it was the best excursion I’ve ever been on. The highlight of the trip had to be our driver, Garland. He was patient kind, knowledgeable, and willing to help in anyway at no time did we feel unsafe or lost he was right there to help. I hope I do come back to this island, and I will for sure book with the company and do my very best to get Garland again.

5.0 Best Time in Roatan- Who Knew!! Thank you Nathan!!

Nitsia_H, November 2025

Our party of 4 had an amazing, fun-filled excursion in Roatan, Honduras, thanks to our incredible guide, Nathan! He wasn't just a tour guide; he was the heart and soul of our island adventure, ensuring we had the best time from the moment he picked us up until we reluctantly said goodbye. 🌴 Nathan curated the perfect day for our group of four, effortlessly blending fun and flexibility. He was flexible throughout the day when we wanted to stop for a quick snack and coffee break, kept us on schedule, the horseback riding on the beach was so much fun, sipping delicious samples at the rum tour, and indulging our sweet tooth at the chocolate factory. 🍫🐎 We soaked up all the local knowledge he shared, grabbing souvenirs and making memories at every stop. Honestly, I didn't expect to like Roatan as much as I did, but Nathan's expertise and easygoing charm made the island a stop we cannot wait to visit again. He spoke fluent English and Spanish, making communication a breeze and the entire experience seamless. We cannot recommend him enough! If you want an unforgettable, effortlessly cool Roatan experience, Nate's your guy. Muchas Gracias por todo, Nate! We’re already planning our return trip! P.S. Kapo & Ryan are officially on repeat in my playlist. Donde??😉🎶 Nitsia! :)

5.0 Awesome time in Roatan Honduras!

Nicole_P, November 2025

My daughter and I had a wonderful time with our tour guide Diana, who made us feel safe and welcomed to beautiful Roatan. She made sure we had everything we needed and we were very comfortable with her. Our experience was personalized to our liking and we fully enjoyed every bit of our tour. Thank you Diana and Toucan Tours for an awesome experience!

Caryn_R, August 2025

I was unsure about booking via Viator instead of cruise line excursion, but I am so glad we did. Our tour guide Diana was so wonderful! She made our experience so much better. She is warm and welcoming, genuine, personable and informative. She wanted to make our experience the best possible and made lots of suggestions along the way. I highly recommend any tour with Diana!!

5.0 Best experience

Kelsie_c, August 2025

Our tour guide was amazing! The whole experience felt very intimate but informative as the tour guide knew all the hidden gems around the island. I would highly recommend them as they accommodate our every need, especially on our birthday.

5.0 Perfect tour for relaxing and experiencing the island!

Jola_K, August 2025

Brief Summary: -I recommend! -Tour Guide was welcoming and professional -Brief walk from ship to meet tour guide -Chill/Laid back tour, not rushed -Private, clean air-conditioned vehicle -Will take you where you want to go on the West Side of Roatan -Horses were sweet and gentle -Horse ride is relaxing (about 45 mins) -Time for photos, shopping & eating -Tour is not "too much" or "too little"- perfect for those who want a chill experience -Our Tour Guide Alfredo was awesome 👍 -Would purchase tour again ☀️ Detailed Summary: I booked this private tour as an excursion during my stop in Roatán while on a Carnival Cruise (July 2025). There was a brief walk from the ship to meet up with our tour guide who was waiting for us. We had our own vehicle which was clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, making the tour comfortable and relaxing—we could explore at our own pace without feeling rushed. Our driver/guide, Alfredo, was warm, welcoming, and always professional. He didn’t hesitate to let us know he was willing to take us to areas and places of our interest, making the tour feel completely tailored to us. A nice surprise was when I mentioned wanting good espresso—he took us to Bean Crazy, a charming coffee shop with an amazing brew and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Bean Crazy serves lunch as well (the Pollo Chuco was delicious!🤌)We enjoyed taking a break there and soaking in the local vibe. We visited the Roatán Chocolate Factory and the Roatán Rum Factory, where we learned about the chocolate-making process, sampled delicious treats, tasted flavorful rum varieties, and there were nice views for pictures. The horseback ride was a nice, relaxing way to see the island at a slower pace. The ride was about 45 minutes. We briefly strolled through a residential area and then reached the beach, where we walked along the shoreline. The horses were sweet and gentle. We had plenty of time for shopping, pictures, and taking in the scenery. If you’re visiting Roatán and want a personalized, stress-free experience that lets you see the island’s best spots while learning from a local this is the tour to do that. Alfredo...if you see this- thank you for your hospitality! Many blessings to you☀️

5.0 Roatan +family + Alfredo = Perfection

Hanna_K, July 2025

Alfredo made our tour very special. He went above and beyond with the day and was dedicated to our family. We were treated like celebrities and enjoyed his little surprises along the way. Make sure you request Alfredo. We will be booking again!

5.0 I highly recommend this company this company!!

Jaylah_C, May 2025

My driver and tour guy was Jonathan and he was the best!! He was easy to talk to and made my group feel safe. He asked if we wanted to see any specific spots in Roatan. Also taking us on a tour to the right spots. We had so much fun! Thanks again Jonathan!!! <3

5.0 Lovely day in Roatan

Susan_B, May 2025

Cynthia was very friendly and helpful. She went out of her way to make the trip as personal and individual as possible. She made the day all about us. Ten out of ten recommendation. She has great recommendations for lunch. We even invited her to join us for lunch. Spent the time in casual conversation. Entertaining and knowledgeable. The horses were well taken care of and you could tell they were loved. Great afternoon all the way around!

5.0 Relaxing Tour with Great Service

Phyllis_B, April 2025

Cute step away from the cruise to tour Roaton. We did the horseback ride, chocolate and rum tasting excursion. Phil was our personal tour guide and did a great job sharing fun facts about the area and bringing us safely back to the ship.

5.0 Great experience!

Y1940AXjuliec, March 2025

We had a great experience. We arrived in Roatan via cruise ship. We were provided great and precise directions by Roatan Tucan Adventures and easily found our guide, Phil. We were transported in a completely private vehicle with personalized service. Our driver, Phil, was incredibly attentive and provided a great history of Roatan. We visited the Chocolate Factory on the way to horseback riding and it was very nice and the chocolate was delicious. My group really enjoyed the horseback riding, the only issue was our guide spoke little to no English which made instructions and question a little difficult but we still had a great time! We stopped off at the Rum Factory on the way back to the port and it was also a great experience with beautiful views. Thank you Phil and Roatan Tucan Adventures, for providing us with a great experience!

5.0 Best Tour on Roatan, IMO!!!

Anonymous, March 2025

Very personable experience that was exceptionally hosted. Activity to cost ratio was superb. Diana's knowledge of the island was wonderful. Talioring our experience to our likes was a great touch. Getting to have the tour on our terms was a cut above.

jeffbN6120TC, October 2024

Jeimi was great! She took care of us and was very friendly. I would highly recommend her!! Horseback riding was enjoyable.

5.0 The Andersons Ranch was Great!

Janell_B, September 2024

We rode at the Anderson ranch on Sept 12, 2024 and I would highly recommend them. They were both professional and personable. We had our two sons with us, who had never ridden before. The Andersons patiently showed them how to ride and ensured they were comfortable with their horses. Our horses were healthy and extremely well-trained. It's something you'll notice immediately; and our guides were very informative. They pointed out local wildlife, showed and let us taste wild sea grapes and told us about the area's history. Also, all along the way, they took photos and videos of us. They really should charge a bit extra for that service. We had a ball, and I can't say enough positive things about our experience.. Make sure you get the Andersons ranch when you book your excursion. We plan on visiting Honduras again, and we will definitely go back for another ride.

Response from Host, October 2024

I’m so happy to hear you had a great time at the Anderson Ranch! It’s wonderful that your sons enjoyed riding and that the guides were so helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you back in Honduras for another ride!🧡🇭🇳

5.0 Amazing Horseback Riding Experience and Exceptional Service

rosmerys475, July 2024

We arrived in Roatan by cruise and chose the horseback riding excursion with my family. We decided to book this activity with Roatan Tucan Adventures, and they provided us with incredible service. As soon as we arrived, we were transported in a completely private vehicle with personalized service. Our driver, Emilio, was incredibly attentive and made sure we had water, which was not included in the package. The horseback riding tour was a unique experience for my family, and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Afterwards, we took a tour where we learned so much about Roatan. We fell in love with Roatan and want to return very soon. Thank you Emilio and Roatan Tucan Adventures, for providing us with safe service, an unforgettable experience, and for taking us back to the cruise with plenty of time to spare. 100 out of 100 – the best!

Response from Host, July 2024

Thanks for the great review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the horseback riding and tour with Emilio. We’re glad you loved Roatan and had a memorable time. We hope to see you again soon!🧡
