Sightseeing Island Tour in Roatan

Overview

Join our ‘Sightseeing Island Tour’ to discover the island’s beauty, culture, and delectable cuisine. You will have the opportunity to visit local communities. Experience the vibrant West End Village, which features a diverse array of restaurants, bars, and local souvenir shops, while enjoying breathtaking views. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture these unforgettable moments and create lasting memories at the colorful Roatán sign.

Visit The Roatán Chocolate Factory to see and learn how cacao beans are cultivated, harvested, and processed—from the raw bean to the finished chocolate.

The steps of roasting, grinding, and refining will be explained, including how they enhance the chocolate’s flavor, for instance, with local fruits and nuts.

You will witness workers in action. Often, you will see the machines and tools used for small-batch production, as well as workers molding and wrapping the products. You will also have the chance to sample various types of organic Honduran chocolate, including dark, milk, and flavored varieties.

You will arrive at the Roatán Rum Company, a picturesque location situated between West End and West Bay, typically on elevated ground. From this vantage point, you can admire views of both sides of Roatán and the Caribbean Sea.

You will be presented with complimentary samples of their artisan rums and rum cakes. Learn about the rum-aging process: how base rum is stored in wooden barrels, such as used Bourbon barrels, American oak, sherry barrels, and others, and how the duration in these barrels influences the flavor.

This exceptional journey enables you to genuinely experience Roatán in a distinctive manner.

Add the animal sanctuary with our sloth and monkey tour.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a wonderful tour. Donny was great and accommodated all our needs. I was with my two sisters and we all use walkers. Donny was great and very helpful. The rum and chocolate experience was fun and the shopping in the little store beside it was really nice. Danny took us to a very neat place to eat. Donny said he was the Roatan paparazzi So when he got my phone when I went in the cage with the monkeys and shopping, he took lots of pictures. I would highly recommend using this tour company. Mickel was very good to communicate and answer all my questions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just been to Roatan today and used ddroatan tours, great job, was waiting for me outside terminal with a name placard. We did the animal tour, chocolate factory and a tour around the island where the driver suggested photo spots and he took our pictures. ( the 4 of us).  AC always running in the minivan when we got got back in and the driver was very knowledgeable and polite.  I would recommend them certainly. It’s far better to have someone there ready to pick you up as Michael Bolton messages you when your ship docks.  It’s very daunting to land there and have dozens of hawkers screaming at you to use their tour services.  5 stars.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a last minute tour with DD Roatan tours to the Sloth and monkey sightseeing round trip. Our guide was Michael and he was waiting at the cruise port for us and explained how the tour would run. He told us facts about the areas we were passing through and showed us local landmarks. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Michael was a brilliant guide. Would thoroughly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael was an excellent tour guide. My 79 year old dad had a wheelchair. He helped us load and unload at every stop. He was very professional and attentive. We visited the sloths and monkeys, chocolate, Roatan sign, souvenir shop. The BEST part Michael took us to get some oxtails and they were amazing. I need a couple of more plates. We will definitely book with him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mickel was our tour guide for the day, and he was amazing! We had an excursion that was cancelled that morning, and we had to come up with a last minute plan for the day and quick! He approached us and gave us some great options that in turn made it one of our top favorite days during our cruise. Mickel was honest, kind, and very informative. Our group of 8 would definitely seek him out again during our next trip to Roatan. 10/10 - Highly recommend!
