In this video we bring you along on our family's excursion experience with Roatan Five Stars Tours. This was such an amazing excursion! First, we stopped to visit the sloths, monkeys, and birds. Then we boarded a double decker boat and stopped at 3 different snorkel spots- starfish, drop off, and the shipwreck. This was hands down, one of the best excursions ever!

Roatan Island Hounduras is my husband and my favorite place on Earth!!! We’ve been there 5 times and always do the same thing- the Tabyana beach break through Carnival. If you like snorkeling and diving it is amazing! We’ve been many other places and it’s the best. My husband said it was better than when he went to Hawaii growing up. It is like snorkeling in a giant aquarium. You can rent snorkel stuff on the beach or bring your own and the reef is right off the beach and it is a giant bowl of coral 20 feet deep teeming with sea life. On on the outer edge there is a big drop off to open ocean. The first time we went we even saw 2 Goliath grouper! It’s been built up so much since our first visit. They now have lifeguards that will take you out for a tour (for a tip- totally worth it). The lifeguards normally work in pairs with 1 swimming and diving with you and the other in a kayak following in case something happens. We’ve taken our children twice- 1st time ages 4&6, second time ages 3,7,&9, as well as my younger adult siblings who had never snorkeled. The last time my siblings were able to hang on to a rope attached to the kayak so they felt a little more secure and they even put our 3 year old in the kayak so he wouldn’t miss out or have to be left behind with someone. And the best part is they’d even point out things to him in the boat and bring stuff like sea stars or sea cucumbers for him to check out. You can get free lemonade and sweet tea (sooo good), and pay for food. I think they have an actual menu you can order from now, in addition to chicken and rice or a hamburger and fries type stuff. They also have a special drink to try the Monkey LaLa, it’s a creamy cinnamon and banana drink if I remember right. They have security to watch your things and keep the people trying to sell stuff away from the chair area (bring a tip for these guys as well). The security guys are very friendly and will help you find a spot in the shade and chairs if you ask. The do have many people selling everything imaginable (sunglasses, massages, shirts, hair braiding, banana doughnuts, dried seahorses?? and more) on the beach. You will be approached and left alone if you politely refuse- if not let security know. There is also a rock wall on the left hand side of the beach where you can see iguanas and a large rock close to shore over there where a bunch of fish hang out. Last time we were there a family gave us some left over banana donuts to feed to the fish and the kids loved it. Hands down the best place we’ve ever been. We’ve even debated skipping the cruise 😱 and just going straight to the resort on the beach! 1000% recommend!!!!
We would love to move there! It truly is beautiful!
That's my beautiful country ❤️
Thank you for such a great explanation!! We're looking to cruise next year and we've never been om one before.
@@josec3823 what a beautiful place! What are your recommendations?
Going for our second time in june we cant wait we love Roatan
This video should have a disclaimer "Do not watch at the start of your work week!" Now I wish I were on a cruise instead of sitting at the office 😉
Lol. Guess you should go and book a cruise :D :D
For some reason I trusted y’all and booked Roatan 5 Star for our first family cruise. They were AMAZING and did not disappoint! We did the sloth/monkey/bird and snorkeling excursion with them. Our kids (ages 15 and 12) absolutely loved it and so did my husband and I! Thanks for all your amazing videos that help cruise newbies like us 😊!
Hi Hope! That is exciting to hear! We were impressed with them too! So glad you and your family had a great time!
Honduras is such an amazing beautiful country .
I love when your son said even Mom didn’t know (about the starfish). So sweet! Boys love their Moms ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, I thought that was sweet too. Mom is supposed to know everything right? lol
Oh my gosh, as soon as I saw you kids holding sloths I cried my eyes out! I sooo want to do this and will be there in Feb, hoping to make it to AJ’s! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Sloths are the BEST!! Wish I could bring one home with me. Lol
This looks amazing thank you. I had no idea of what to expect from this port
Fantastic video! Really enjoyed watching the kids enjoy themselves.
Thanks Michele!
Gracias por visitar mi bello país
What a great vid! We are looking at a cruise on the BRAND NEW Carnival Jubilee in January '24, so this is something we will definitely look into! Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!! Enjoyed seeing the children involved
Thank you. It was so much fun having them with us!
Roatan es maravilloso amigos se disfruta mucho en familia muy bonito video
Thanks for the tip! We just got off a cruise and did the 3 stop snorkeling mentioned here followed by the animal park (sloths!!!!). Shout out to Enrick!
Thank you for the information. I took your advice and booked the monkey, bird , sloth and 3 stop snorkeling with five stars. I was a little apprehensive about taking an excursion that wasn’t offered by the cruise line but, it was wonderful. Five stars staff is incredibly, very friendly and genuinely concerned for our safety and the safety of the coral reef. The sloths, monkeys and birds are awesome. Best Day Ever!!!! Thank you.
One our favorite places to go scuba diving. We once did a beach and lunch at a hotel before carnival messed that up by offering the same trip and over crowded the hotel and beach we paid 65 carnival tow 200 for the same package but ours was a 3rd party
Thank you so much for this! This cruise will be my first and the place is most definitely amazing for the price. Life saver!
Hi Jazmine! Hope you have the best cruise ever!
We did the monkey/sloth excursion on our first cruise! It is the most amazing experience ever. Roatan is
Heaven on earth!!!
Great Video. We have been on 8 Royal Caribbean Cruises and have never been to Roatan. We are going next year for our daughters 16th Birthday and looking for excursions. I will definitely be using Roatan Five Stars to book. Thanks so much for sharing.
I feel I should point out, though you may have discovered later...Guinea pigs are used as food down there like we use chickens for food in North America. Don't tell the kids. ;)
Question on the tour with the Sloths, are they kept for tourists or are they animals that cannot for some reason not be released into the wild. Sorry not trying to be a downer but I would love to go but if they are viable animals that should be in the wild then I will book something else.
Thanks Jason and Kellie. I have them saved. Our first time there we just hung out at the port. Next time it's on😎
We'd be thrilled to welcome you with open arms and make your day a gorgeous one 🙌🌴🎉🥳
Thanks for the information on the excursion company. Great option when we visit again. Your children are beautiful!

Welcome too honduras
I would recommend going to LFK (Little French Key) it is a awesome excursion. It is not booked through Carnival..
Woow is that real is paradise.i want to go.awesome nice video.
WOW! Thanks so much for this video. I'll be in Roatan in December and have already checked out & saved the Roatan Five Stars Tours website. I'll be on RCL so not porting in Mahgoney Bay, but instead at Coxen Hole and have checked and they pick up there also. Yippee. Finally, what a great video watching you and your family having so much fun.
Hi Joleen! Ah, that is wonderful. And, thank you for your kind words. Happy sailing on your cruise! And, enjoy Roatan! We absolutely love Roatan Five Stars. I am sure you will have a great time!

They are great people!

I would love to visit Roatan someday. It just hasn't been on the list of ports yet. Very cute interactions. Did they come home with one of the pigs. Loved seeing you do this as a family, very sweet!!! 🐸
It was SOOO MUCH FUN!
Hello! Amazing video, I was wondering if you remember how much time you had left after the exclusion to get back to the boat?
I’m trusting you and booked for late August.
We recently did this very same excursion. Everything you say is 110% spot on. Roatan 5 star did an amazing job. We even got to visit with Louigi the resident monkey at the owners house.
Cannot recommend Roatan 5 star enough!!!
Ditto!
I have a cruise coming up in a couple weeks and just watched your alert travel to Mexico video and the levels of travel. How safe is Rotana? We have a excursion through our cruise ship but still a little nervous this is our first cruise and first time to Mexico! Any advice appreciated!!
Looking on their site, it would appear they offer excursions at other ports as well. Thanks for the great find!!
Yes. Thanks for watching!
Definitely will be following your footsteps in 3 months.
Would it be worth it to bring my 200-600mm camera gear for a few photos or stick with smaller set up?
Did you do a customized tour? The closest I see to what you showed included the chocolate factory. If not, which one did you do? Also, do they guarantee getting you back to the ship?
Thanks for the great info! We are headed to Roatan on our next cruise, so we will definitely be doing this. We have additional ports to Belize, Cozumel and Costa Maya on the same cruise...do you have any videos/recommendations for those ports as well? Thanks again!!
My husband and I are going to these same ports In August minus Costs Maya
When I go on their site, the sloths and snorkeling combo was not listed as an option. Did you have to email them and request that combo? This is exactly what me and my husband want to do! We will be there in April. Thanks!
How good are they at returning you to your cruise ship? I really want to book with them.
when you leave the port what do you need to come back in if you don't have a passport?
Thank you for this! We've never cruised before and are going next year. Do you have a beginner tip guide? I've barely flown and other people have always booked so I know nothing.
Hi Mary. I am a travel agent and I would love to help you book your cruise/excursions. It doesn't cost you anything but you have me to answer any and all questions you have and to walk you through the whole process so you can have an amazing vacay! You can email me at thetravelscouts@gmail.com if you would like to use our services!
The parrot guy is funny
Hi Bonnie! Yeah, he was really good!
It looks like you guys were having a blast , .
Hi Hector! Yes, great times!
How quickly and easily did you get back to your ship though? What was the total time of this tour? I'm 5'9", can't swim great, and have never snorkeled before but am curious about trying even with a lifejacket on. Is this possible? Thanks! I'm going in August.
Our private van driver dropped us off at the port area so very easy to get back to the ship.
If you are not a strong swimmer, I would recommend a life jacket. Enjoy! Snorkeling is so much fun!
We were there in June and liked it well enough however we booked a private excursion and didn’t enjoy it, the guide was more of a driver. We were on NCL and docked in Coxen Hole, not Mahogany, which looks nicer. If we go there again we will book an excursion thru cruise company.
What private excursion did you do and what company did you book with?
@@TheTravelScouts Roatan Fun Tours
Awesome video 😍. Do they get you back to the ship 🚢 on time ?
Yes we do take our travelers back to the ship on time, this is very important for us as it is for cruisers to make sure everyone gets back to the port with time to spare
Do they provide life jackets?
We missed our opportunity to see Sloths in Roatan last year on the Mardi Gras. Will have to book another itinerary going back maybe next year.....
Yes!!!! The sloths were so AMAZING! So glad we got to do it!
It would be our pleasure to have you with us next year and take you to see the furry huggable sloths , for more info you can send us and email at info@roatanfivestars.com and we would be happy to arrange everything for you
Is there a bathroom on the snorkel boat?
How long was the full excursion from port to getting back in time for sail away?
Greetings Mr. Rafael, normally the 3-Stops Snorkeling + Sloth and Monkeys adventure is approx. 4 to 5 hours, we will have you guys back on time at the cruise port
We want to do this last next time we go there
We would be thrilled to have an amazing experience with you and your loved ones, for more info you can send us an email at info@roatanfivestars.com and we'll be happy to arrange everything for you
How far is the walk from the ship to the private tour operators, and how many stairs are there? Or how steep is the walk? Traveling with someone who has difficulty climbing stairs so mot sure we can arrange for a private tour.
It is probably a good 15 minute walk with stairs and a hill. However, there are cabs there that will take you to the excursion pick up site for $2 a person. But you still have to walk from the ship to cab area. It's relatively flat though.
Really hoping to book this for my husband and I on our first cruise in August! I saw they provided snacks, did you have time to eat a meal beforehand or afterward? Don’t know if I can go 5 hrs without immediately having a meal after 😅
My husband and I are going on our first in August as well!
May I please have the name of the excursion y'all booked with Roatan Five Star? Thanks in advance!
I am planning a cruise 2025 on the Jubilee. I’m truly concerned about the ship leaving without us or emergencies that may arise while with a separate tour group from a cruise excursion.
This may be a stupid question going on my first cruise in march icon of the seas how do you breathe when youre so deep under water??
You don't. Take a deep breath while you're on the surface and dive down.
Question .. booking excursion with Honduras five star. Is that doing through them and not through what ever cruise line you were on? I am afraid of just booking through the locals, what if something happens, the ship WILL leave you...that is just a piece of mind for me..second question, does that company 5 star offer snorkeling best. My sister can not swim, but it did look amazing.. she would love the sloth part..I am kind of scare of picking up a disease from holding them. Please share your thoughts. We are going on the Mardi Gras again this October 22, it's my birthday...yeah. looking forward to your response
1.It's done through us (a responsible local company) not the cruise lines. If you need more info you can hit us up with an email at info@roatanfivestars.com and we'll be happy to assist
2.Yes we do offer the best snorkeling on the island
3.Our friendly guides will do their best to make your sister enjoy the snorkeling experience
4.The animals are in a healthy condition and are giving great care so it can be safe for cruisers to hug/touch them
5.We'd be glad to make your birthday an amazing day here in Roatan, hit us up with an email at info@roatanfivestars.com and it would be our pleasure to assist you
@@roatanfivestars1357 wow! It's so cool you're here and directly responded. My daughter is a great swimmer and I barely can. What's this mean for me?
@@marybaker8061 Thank you Mrs. Mary, the first snorkeling site is the starfish, normally our staff help our guests get comfortable with all the equipment plus lifejackets, and they will help you during all the tour as well 😊 but also as optional you can enjoy the other stops on the boat with great ocean views and refreshments
@@roatanfivestars1357 fantastic! That really puts me at ease!!
I tried finding this excursions but can’t find it on the website
Taking a risk to book outside of ship, in case excursion is delayed.
You aren’t getting a percentage through the click-through links? The snorkeling looks great.
Greetings Mrs. Amy, our policy is to have our guests on time at the port at least 2 to 1.5 hours or earlier based on the tour, we keep our tour guides updated just in case
Aren't you afraid of being left behind when the ship leaves if something goes wrong with the excursion that you did not book through carnival. That is my biggest fear, that is why I book the the cruise line, they can't leave me behind. Please advise
Greetings Mrs. Mary, normally we have live information from the cruise ports of Roatan and we keep in contact with our tour guides, with a clean record of having all our guests back on time to the cruise port, we will be happy to take you and enjoy this wonderfull family-friendly excursion
I booked Roatan 5 star for a tour coming up in August and just watched your video on the 7 most dangerous ports. In that video you mention Roatan as one of those ports. Does this listing of Roatan as one of the most dangerous ports change your recommendation of this excursion company?
No absolutely not. We would book with them tomorrow if we were sailing there!
@@TheTravelScouts Thanks so much! Love your videos!
What was the Carnival ship name and how many days was this trip?
Hi Twilight Fresh! We were on a 7-day cruise on the Carnival Glory.
Song name when they were snorkeling???
What if your ship misses the port? Will they give a refund?
I am sure they would. Check with them to make sure before you book :)
Yes we do a 100% refund if the ship doesn’t dock at the port. We also do the refund when their is inclement weather and the excursion can’t be done.
I don't know about those sloths...they look like wonderful pets until one day you wake up missing your face 😬
Hahahaha! And we were surprised to find out they only go to the bathroom once a week!
We are scared of roatan as it appears to be dangerous there. 😳
Was there in January No issues Beautiful island
We were at Roatan in December but we stayed in the cruise port at Mahogany Bay. We had no problems and the staff were very friendly
We never felt unsafe. We were with a guide the whole time in a private van. We stoped and did some local shopping. Never felt uneasy or unsafe
My wife and I love Rotana! I understand that Honduras itself can be scary but the people of Roatan are as friendly as can be.
Roatan is a safe place, we make sure our cruisers feel this way throughout the whole day of the excursion, a local guide will drive you and your group in a private vehicle so you can have more privacy and feel very secure
Price is $100 per adults and $85 per kid these days.
Stay away from turquoise beach
Why?
