What To Do In ROATAN?? - Try a Private Island Tour!! (Carnival Mardi Gras Cruise)

  • Have you ever taken a private tour? You think it will be too expensive, right? Wrong! We had a full island tour, and the cost... $45 per person!!! We started out meeting our tour guide outside of the port and loading in the van. Just driving around the island was beautiful and he pointed out many places to us. The first stop was Manawakie Cultural Park which is also a sloth sanctuary.... this is what we were most looking forward to! We were given an introduction to the three-toed sloths and were able to hold them for as long as we liked! They also have monkeys and macaws that you can hold.
    Want to know what is the best thing about a private tour? It is YOUR tour and the guide will customize it for you. We asked if there was a place where we could fly our drones and he delivered by taking us to a nice drive-on beach where we took flight. Next up are the chocolate factory and rum factory. Both were great experiences and we left with some yummy treats.
    And what would an island tour be without a beach? The last official stop was Fosters West Bay Resort. The beach was beautiful and the sand was so soft... unlike the beach on Cozumel!! And the cool water was a nice break from the Caribbean heat. Again, what is great about the private tour is that we could stay as long as we wanted.
    We were pretty hungry by this time and asked for a spot where we could get some good local food. We had to work for this meal as the restaurant was at the very top of a high hill with LOTS of steps, but it was so worth it! On the way back to port we had a couple of surprise spots when our guide took us to an overlook where we could view the amazing Carnival Mardi Gras... and fly the drone here too. Lastly, we were treated to some delicious local fruit drinks... and I mean DELICIOUS!! What an amazing day we had! We can 1000% recommend this tour when you next visit Roatan!!

    woo hoo! i made it into the video! i’m the dude in the yellow shirt and black hat. i’m at 3:00 and 3:52 our tour went to a different animal exhibit, we got to see monkeys sloths and birds, after we went to little french key and that was a lot of fun, it looks like you guys had a good time as well!

    We did the same tour only with Real Deal Roatan Tours, only company we use when visiting Roatan! Out of all the tours I ever took while cruising that was by far my favorite! Was Always on my Bucket List to hold sloth, they so cute feel like holding real baby, did I mention my favorite animal. Glad you enjoyed it...Also love the little port their for shopping got myself handcrafted wooden boxes.

    I've done private tours in Dominica and in St. Kitts and they were probably the best excursions I've experienced! I feel like I learned more about the local culture, history and people and never felt rushed or crowded.
    Also, the Coke is so much better in the Caribbean than in the states, the cane sugar makes a huge difference! I had one when I was in Curaçao.

    Wow.... had I to re-watch this after reading about the recent death here. Absolutely heart breaking. I thought it was the same platform. Thank Goodness for Jason and his hesitation along with your encouragement to be safe and cautious. Obviously this platform will be removed at this point, but it clearly should have been long before this video was even made.

    Thanks for the walk to meet up for a private tour. I want to take a tour, but the explanation of the meeting place was slightly confusing and started sounding like I was taking my own self-guiding tour of the island. LOL. They should use your video as a visual tool. Keep sharing your experiences

  • @cjsweeting7

    The video was very good.i enjoy all of your videos..keep them coming....the food you pronounced "plan-tains"
    Is pronounced plan-tans.."i" silent and yes..plantanos in Spanish. Native food on all islands is very delicious..fresh..and the people so respectful and pleasant..so wish I could have been there..especially nxt wk for my 80th and yes that's actually me..now..God is good. Enjoy seeing your videos of all of your excursions land and sea. God bless you..thank you.

    We did a similar tour there and loved it. That's the beach we were at. Our driver warned us about the never-ending vendors trying to sell things. We were also warned about the massage ones, because someones they have sticky fingers and may steel your wallet. He said if we sat in the second row of lounge chairs, we wouldn't be bothered as much. He was right. Also pretend to be asleep. I wasn't sure if we would like Roatan, but the sloths and the beach were amazing. The Carnival beach at the pier was far too crowded, so we wanted to try a private tour on our second time there.

    You have probably heard about the cruiser who jumped or dove off the top of the platform March 15, 2023 and passed away. When I heard all I could think was how I wished he had seen your vlog. Thank you for warning others.

    Thank goodness Jason did not jump from the high deck. I would not even have jumped from the lower one. You don't know what is below with rocks or how deep it is. Looks like an amazing tour BTW. The full monty of Roaton.

    My hubby jumped off the top ledge with some of the local boys!!! He said it was awesome!!
    And yes those locals that live there that try to sell all their trinkets gets to be a bit too much, they asked more there than some of the other destinations we’ve been too.

LOL My Mom was raised in Panama and cooked us Plantains. However, Jason is right, they are much like a potato. Luv Yuns!!!! Please DO know that just because people don't always comment or like, doesn't mean there are not people that have watched for a long time and love y'all. Great Job!!! So Happy With the RV change in the Channel. I admit I stopped watching for a bit, But I'm Back and I love it!!!! Thanks...wes&jennifer
