Zipline, Optional Monkeys/Sloths/Macaws Visit & West Bay Beach Resort: Roatan,HN

Guides were very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure we were safe and had a great time. the main guide even walked over a block one way just to get more batteries for my camera so i could continue having fun. great people!

Family trip with only one of us that has ever zip-lined before and let me tell you, this was so much fun for all six of us. Exhilarating and scary but safe and fun...and wow, so may zip lines...was not expecting so many. Preston and his team were fantastic...they made it fun and exciting the entire time but always made sure we were safe and secure. Definitely purchase the emailed photos after....great value and so many pictures. We received 3 emails of the photos just a few days later. Wow..fantastic purchase. After zip-lining our group really enjoyed the Sloths...so cute and friendly. This was a wonderful excursion and would highly recommend. Thank you Preston and crew for a great time.

We loved the zipline experience. The young men that worked with our group of about 15 that traversed the course with us could not have been better. They were very fun and safety conscious. They really made it work for everyone from old to young and from bold to timid. Everyone walked away very happy. The women at the front desk there were also very helpful. That said, we found Roatan a semi-difficult place to navigate. When we arrived at our meeting place, the manager wouldn't talk to us, made us wait without explanation while they sold other tours to people so our van would be full. It was very uncomfortable. When we returned later that day, we went to see the manager, because our day was simply not what it should have been. He was willing to talk and asked for our honest feedback - this was a different attitude from the morning. We told him we felt like our day was less than ideal. We learned that the manager had been angry with us that morning, as we suspected. He'd sent our group on without us before we arrived. Our documents said to arrive 1 hour after the SCHEDULED arrival time. We had checked when we docked early. Our ship had docked at 7:30 instead of 8, so our group had left at 8:30 instead of 9. We arrived at 8:35.He said we'd been late and caused the problem. We told him our perspective - that we'd checked the paperwork and arrived with ample time to spare. One of the other workers reminded him that they had this problem before and needed to change what was written OR how about honor what is written?. What ended up happening was that we were put in a van ful of people going to a beach resort for the day, rode to that resort, turned around and finally arrived our our zipline course. We were introduced to two women who had arrived in a Toyota Yaris and told we would go from there to the beach with them. We did the zipline course with them and others - very great people - and for the sake of lost time skipped the animal part. Drove with 5 people in an old Yaris to a beach for less than 2 hours. Met the driver and returned. The beach is a good beach with white sand and you have a clean bathroom and place to change. You can buy food and water and drinks - at an outdoor grill that was expensive. Our driver had stopped at a convenience store for us because one woman needed feminine products. There we picked up soft drinks and water. The roads in Roatan are falling apart, so our two drivers mostly spent their time navigating through or around huge craters of potholes. There was no narration of the island, culture or people. The various car drives took from 30-45 minutes EACH, as we crossed the hills and jungles of the island. On our return trip, we were halfway back across the island when all the traffic came to a stop and cars started turning around and heading back. They were re-paving the road up ahead and had closed it with no notice. It was a good thing we had decided to return an hour earlier than necessary or we would have cut it really close. Having chosen a cruise that goes to Roatan, the white sand beaches in the wesern Carribean are unsurpassed and the zipline was a treat. The infrastructure there is very poor and cannot really support the numbers of tourists when 3 ships are there at the same time. The traffic was terrible, the roads were worse. The island is poor. These are not reasons to stay away, they are just the truth. Everyone who worked with us asked for extra tips on the side, and I could not blame them. This is not Mexico. Adjust your expectations. They are still learning how to be a tourist destination.

Wow!!!! How much fun was this! I have never seen my husband smile in all the time I have known him. We were in a group of 8. We loved the zip line so much we want to do it again. The Monkeys and Parrots were fantastic. The beach was over cast so we didn't do much there. No fault of the tour I would VERY MUCH recommend this tour. It was fantastic!!!!!

Zip-lining was good we had a lot of fun. The Monkey and Parrot watching was OK. The beach resort was pretty disappointing.
