Our private Roatan tour brings together wildlife, local culture, scenic island stops and time to unwind at West Bay Beach. Explore with a bilingual local guide and private, air-conditioned transportation reserved for your group.
At Mayan Eden Eco Park, see sloths without touching or holding them, alongside monkeys and tropical birds. Continue to the island's chocolate and rum factories and enjoy local views and cultural stops as your schedule allows. Finish with an included day pass to Paradise Beach Club on West Bay Beach, with access to beach chairs, the pool and listed club amenities.
This approximately six-hour experience is suitable for cruise passengers and guests staying in Roatan. We coordinate pickup from Coxen Hole (Port of Roatan), Isla Tropicale / Mahogany Bay, hotels and resorts. The timing and order of stops may be adjusted around your group's schedule and operating conditions.
What makes it private? Your vehicle and bilingual guide are for your group only. Mayan Eden, the factories and Paradise Beach Club are venues that may also welcome other visitors.

Know Before You GoA few practical tips for a smoother island day
- Bring comfortable shoes, lightweight clothing, sunscreen, a hat, swimwear and a towel.
- Tell us in advance if anyone in your group has mobility needs or prefers minimal walking.
- Follow all animal-care instructions; observing sloths does not include touching or holding them.
- Cruise guests: confirm your ship, port, all-aboard time and whether your ship uses a different clock from Roatan local time (UTC−6).

Frequently Asked QuestionsAnswers before you reserve
Can I hold a sloth during the tour?
No. Sloth viewing at Mayan Eden is a no-contact experience. You can observe the animals while following sanctuary staff instructions.
Is this a completely private Roatan tour?
Your transportation and guide are private to your group. Public attractions, the sanctuary and the beach club may host other guests during your visit.
Where will my guide meet me?
We arrange pickup at Coxen Hole, Isla Tropicale / Mahogany Bay or your confirmed accommodation. Your booking confirmation and our port pickup guide explain where to meet.
Will we be back before our cruise departs?
We plan the itinerary around your ship's schedule, normally aiming to return to port at least 90 minutes before its scheduled departure. Always follow your cruise line's all-aboard deadline. A cruise ship is not obligated to wait for guests on independent tours.
Can we change or add stops?
We can discuss adjustments to the route according to your available time and the schedule of each venue. Additional attractions, tickets or activities are not included unless confirmed in your booking.
Can I reserve with $50 instead of paying the full amount?
Yes. You can pay in full or make a $50 advance payment toward the total reservation price, with the remaining balance payable on arrival. The $50 is part of your tour payment, not a separate security deposit. Check the total and any applicable taxes before confirming.
