        Yep we got wet but it was worth it
        Fantastic outing, we only had one day in port and decided to hike the mountain. On our way here it was pouring rain. The tour operator offered to either refund, swap to a different Itinerary or take our chances in the rain. We opted for the rain :). It was great! Both Dani and Mario accompanied us through the gardens and up the trail to the top. Was awesome. Yep we got wet but it was worth it. Highly recommend it.

        RTGA Spells Integrity and Concern for Your Safety and Enjoyment
        This will be a different type of review but one you should take into consideration when choosing a tour in Roatan. My wife and I were picked up by tour guide Mario and we headed for the West End for a couple hours of snorkeling. It was two days after Hurricane Milton had passed the Yucatan Peninsula and the Caribbean was rough and there were heavy currents. Additionally, there was trash and debris in the water on the north side of the island of Roatan that posed a problem for boat propellers and snorkelers. Dani, the owner of Roatan Tour Guide Associate (RTGA) called Mario while we were traveling to the West End and had Mario put him speaker-phone to inform us. He felt the snorkeling trip would be a bad idea, dangerous due to currents, hazardous to navigation to the reef, and not present a worthy day for snorkeling at the world's second largest coral reef. He offered to have Mario take us to an alternate area on the south side of Roatan but we declined and Daniel (Dani) immediately refunded our money and apologized for things that were totally out of his control. In short, it is the integrity of Dani, founder of RTGA, and the enthusiasm of snorkeling guide Mario that will ensure you have a safe and memorable snorkeling tour. We were profoundly impressed with Dani, Mario, and their concern for our safety. When some tours will operate no matter what, our experience showed us that you will be in great and professional hands with RTGA. We will return to Roatan and you can be sure we will re-book with this wonderful tour business.

        Amazing experience!
        What an excellent snorkeling experience on this trip! Fantastic operator - we were able to easily book with very short notice, had excellent and instant communication, and received all the necessary details upfront! The crew was absolutely amazing - our guide, Mario, and our captain, Reyes! They were able to pick us up and drop us off directly at the dock at our resort, and they were extremely attentive, passionate and enthusiastic. We did the 3-spot snorkeling trip, and it was absolutely worth it. As an avid and frequent snorkeler in the Caribbean, I can confidently say that this was an amazing experience - absolutely beautiful! I would definitely book again and I highly recommend!

        Wonderful chocolate making class
        We arranged this class with Dani. He made the process easy and even helped us arrange transportation to and from the Factory. There was a nice presentation about the history and process of making chocolate. Then we got to each make our own chocolate bars. He walked us through each step along the way, explaining the purpose of each step. Afterwards, we were able to sample all the varieties of chocolate that they make at the Factory. I would highly recommend this class, especially if you love dark chocolate.

        Mario was the best!
        Mario was the nicest tour guide! What I loved about this trip, is it felt like we literally rode through town with an actual local, and learned about the island! It felt like hanging out with a friend and not just someone you hired. He was very hospitable, fun and educated about the sea and the island. The tour itself was beautiful. I was excited that we actually got to some deep-ish waters and not just 7 feet snorkeling. The walk from the cruise port to RTGA was about 10 minutes but they gave such detailed instructions, we had no issue. However if you’re coming from a cruise make sure you have WiFi/service or else I wouldn’t have received the instructions the morning of. They also took some awesome pics of us! 100% book with them instead of an excursion with a cruise line, it was the highlight of my trip.

        Great local feel
        Me and one friend booked the snorkeling excursion with RTGA(roatan tour guide association) and had a great time. Our tour guide Mario was very friendly and knowledgeable. He sent us very detailed instructions on how to get out of the port to the pickup area. He then picked us up right outside of the port and took us to West End. Along the way he told us quite a bit about the island and his time there. Once we arrived at west end we had our own boat ready to take us out to snorkel. Mario made sure all of our gear was functional and safe before hitting the water. He then lead us around the beautiful snorkeling locations all while taking photos to send to us afterwards. When we were done he was more than happy to show us the shops and food that the West End had to offer. We were not rushed whatsoever and got a locals perspective on everything they had to offer. Once we were done checking out shops he also returned us to the port. The entire experience was amazing. Definitely better than anything I have booked through a cruise/all inclusive in the past. He made us feel like we were the number one priority and was such a great guy. I cannot recommend Mario and RTGA enough. If you are in Roatan, definitely check out their snorkeling package or one of their many other packages.

        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!

        This trip was amazing. We saw lots of cool fish and also the shipwreck. Our guide JB made the trip even better. He shared lots of local information and even took us to an authentic restaurant for lunch. I would definitely recommend this tour for your family! ☀️🐟🐠

        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.

      Dani and Nahomi are the best tour guides for any Roatán adventure! They are really passionate about showing the island and all there is to do. We went on a snorkeling adventure to see the beautiful coral reefs and had a delicious meal at seawiches afterwards. We decided to book another tour with them and got to see punta Gorda and ate ate a very nice restaurant there. Everything was lovely and they took great pictures of the adventure! Don't hesitate to book your adventure with Dani and Nahomi! They will show you everything the island has to offer.

      First time snorkeling over the reef and it was awesome. Seeing the many colorful fish is a must. The water is crystal clear so seeing down 50 feet to the bottom was amazing! Two thumbs up to Danny for sharing so much with us on this excursion. I promise you will enjoy this trip!

      we had a great time - Jimmy, Steven and Harlan were great. we were on an NCL tour, they bring you to a building across the street from the snorkeling tour. you snorkel around the bay for about 30 minutes. Then back to the building where we had fruit and juice. Next, we kayaked for about 20 minutes to a bar on Luna beach. They are passionate about their heritage and the agriculture and spend about a half hour teaching you about the trees and plants. Next back to the kayaks where we paddled back to the starting building. They gave us about 20 minutes to shop, then about a 20-minute bus ride back to the ship. This excursion is moderate in physical requirements. Lots of stairs and paddling. Also, they spend too much time explaining and preparing. Lastly, after paddling to the bar they should make it where you can get a drink and have an optional tour about plants. most of us just wanted a beer and we had to do the tour instead of visiting the bar (a little cruel). This is not a sit on the beach at all. Still great time and the crew really try hard to make it fun.
