About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- michb20240 contributionsNot organized...disappointing.I read a bunch of amazing reviews and planned this excursion based on that. However, our experience was not the same. We met our guide, drove to an overpriced store where another guide joined us (as she did not show up on time to port). Stopped at a bakery where we sat in the van. The treats were delicious however. Drove to a market while the other group in the van visited the chocolate shop as part of their "chocolate and rum" tour. We continued down the road, turned around in a parking lot, drove back the way we came. We then drove into the hill, never stopping at promised voewpoints. At the beach, the boat was not there so we waited again in the van again for quite some time. The snorkeling was not great as the weather was not the best. Viewing Roatan by sea by driving down the shoreline about 5 minutes to snorkel spot and back. The beach had no chairs set up and we had to emphasize that we wanted to go there as they were going to take us back to the ship. RT&T was clearly not as organized that day as the others that I had read about. Disappointing. Much of the day seemed to be sitting and waiting or staring out the window as we drove.Written 1 January 2024
- J9109YKandrewa0 contributionsA trustworthy guide to Roatan and a great place to snorkelDespite a heavy, cold rain buffeting us while on the boat trip out, a miracle occurred and our snorkeling was great! The sun came out, the water was war, and the fish were plentiful. I've been to many islands in the Caribbean and Roatan didn't really offer much new, but it was pleasant to see it and learn a bit about its history. I took advantage of the hour on the beach to talk along the main drag. Most of what I saw was touristy bars and shops, but I was delighted to come across a chocolate shop selling organic, soy free, gluten free, free trade chocolate, with free tastings. Our guide, Mary, was pleasant and helpful. Getting past the guantlet of vendors and through the maze of shops at the port was annoying, but the throngs of tour guides at the exit were happy to point me in the direction of our guide.Written 14 December 2023

He went above and beyond in making it a very engaging, fun, safe and exciting tour. We are so grateful to him for helping us find our lost phone.Written 22 November 2023
- Navigate240859002490 contributionsFabulous time in Roatan.Talia was our tour guide. She shared a lot about Honduras in an interesting way as we asked her questions. She was patient, not in a rush, and made suggestions about what we could do on the island during our tour time. We held the sloths and macaws, fed the iguanas and tarpon, had the monkeys climb all over us (so much fun), went to a chocolate factory (yummy and not to be missed), and had a delicious lunch where they served iguana among other local dishes. Talia brought us to a souvenir shop that had extraordinary Honduras-made products of excellent quality and price. If you make a reservation with Roatan Trips and Tour, I would encourage you to ask for her. I wish you as wonderful a time as my family and I had. Ginny. Parkland, Florida.Written 26 September 2023

Thalia Jeffries was a phenomenal tour guide, friendly, and was very knowledgeable. The reef that was seen while snorkeling was also beautiful. Definitely recommend this trip.Written 27 May 2023
- KevinKarczewski0 contributionsBeach Horseback riding excursionWe booked the beach and jungle horseback riding and it did not disappoint! First off, the booking was so easy. We booked it online while laying in bed winding what to do at port the next day. Ease of booking was too good! Next, the excursion itself was honestly one of the best we’ve been on. They went the extra mile to make sure we got a good taste of Roatan by taking us to an authentic gift market where we bought from locals, not the port. Durian was amazingly kind and generous with his time and didn’t make us feel rushed or anything like we have with other excursions with other companies. They kept the ships departure time in mind and made sure we saw all that we could with ample time to get back onboard! 5 starts for Durian and the crew and will definitely be booking with RTT again when we come back to Roatan.Written 18 April 2023

He showed us some sites around town, took us to his favorite coffee spot (at the request of our girls), and finished our tour with some site-seeing from a boat and some awesome snorkeling. Our group of 10 all agreed that this excursion was the highlight of our 7 day cruise.Written 20 March 2023

Guide spoke English very well, driver was very friendly and arranged a discount for an eco park. They explained a lot about the island and made suggestions, but also engaged 100% in our wishes. We would 100% recommend them.Written 18 March 2023

She was very informative and also funny!!! We also had Jonathan and Kohlim for part of the tour and they were also wonderful. I highly recommend this company. It is small and family owned and they go out of their way to make your experience the best!Written 8 March 2023

Another fantastic excursion with this company. As a travel agent I have used many different companies but only send clients to a few and this company is best In Roatan. I have never had any clients have any issues with Steve and his employees. The tours are informative and educational and a blast. There is so much to do with them. Check out their website for all the information on the tours. Steve and his family give back to their community and they help support the local youths. This trip we had about 23 people and everyone enjoyed the experiences.

Had a very nice relaxing day. Directions to make the connection were spot on. Leaving the ship other vendors would point you to RTT. We did have a printed sheet with RTT on it that they noticed. Had a great ride around the island. Our driver Danielson was very informative and even more attentive to our comfort. We went on a boat ride and snorkeling trip as well which was really nice. Only one other couple on our boat and the crew of the boat was first class. Snorkeling was fantastic on the reef. Saw a large variety or corals, fans, fish and a few squid. Definitely would recommend.

We where 8 people including 4 kids and had a great experience with RTT. The guide was great a connection to the kids (age from 9-12) and was knowledgeable. We can defiantly recommend this agency for families as well for everyone else. I have given it 4 out of 5 since there were some issues regarding double payment. However, this was sorted out afterward.
Thanks for a wonderful day!

Perfect for travelers who need good suggestions from a trusted local. We had requested the owner's son, Joshua, and although very young he was very knowledgeable and professional. We were able to do everything we wanted to do and he was easygoing. Never felt unsafe and got to see a lot that we wouldn't have been able to see on our own without assistance. Would not have chosen the restaurant that he picked , but we were happy to be able to treat him to a place that he enjoyed . Highly recommend.

We had a great day at Roatan thanks to RT&T, Steve Bush and our driver George! We had a day in Roatan as part of our Cruise itinerary. We wanted to experience culture and heritage of Honduras and we decided to book a customizable trip with RT&T. Steve gave us perfect directions and instructions from port. George arrived within minutes after we arrived at RT&T location. George provides us great information on Roatan and Honduras, took us to places we wanted to visit, and also recommended some other places that we didn’t know but were well worth it! We are very thankful to RT&T for a great day in Roatan.

We were so lucky to have booked a customized day experience with RTT. From the time we were met outside the cruise terminal by a young lady who greeted us until the time that Joshua the tour guide and Mito the driver dropped us back off, we had an amazing day in Roatan re-visiting some of our favorite places and some new ones as well. I highly recommend using RTT for your Roatan cruise ship excursion. They are reasonably priced, accommodating, and very safe.

I visited Roatán to take a break from city life. I definitely have to concur with other guests that have toured with Roatán Trips and Tours. They provided TOP NOTCH service and attentiveness. I customized my tour and it was THE best of my experiences while visiting Honduras. The owner, Steve, reached out a couple of days prior to make sure I was prepared with things to bring and suggestion on footwear which was very helpful. It can sometimes be unnerving being on a tour as a solo female traveler, but I immediately was put at ease and had a great vibe with my guide, Jonathan. Not only was he timely and answered my abundance of questions, but he gave great recommendations for places to eat that were apart from the tourist trips. If you ever find yourself in Roatán and have a few hours, I recommend contacting Roatán Trips and Tours!

I can’t say enough good things about our day in Roatan with our guide, Josh, and RTT. This day was, by far, the highlight of our cruise.
We had a group of 12, and each one of us had something particular we wanted to experience. Josh, his dad Steve, our driver, and the rest of the company guides all went above and beyond to make sure all of our boxes were checked, and that we had an amazing day.
Josh was knowledgeable and informative, but he is so much more that. His personality was a perfect fit for our group. The easy interaction made for fast friendships that felt like we had know him for years, and that made for a fun day. He is a top notch tour guide, and a true Ambassador to his country, and it’s people.
We had a great day, and learned so much about the island. Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough time to take it all in when you’re in port for one day. There is so much more that we would like to see and experience. We have only been home for two days, and are already talking about a return visit.
Thanks for a great day. We look forward to seeing our ‘new friends’, again.

We wanted to make best time for our short stay in Roatan and we wanted to do several things that weren't being offered by other tour companies. We emailed Steve and told him of all the things we wanted and the places we wanted to see and he told us he could do that. We booked with them and after pushing through all the others trying to sell us their tours, found Josh (Steve's son) waiting for us as described. He drove us to the places we wanted to go and told us the history of the Island as we passed. Our boys decided after snorkeling for awhile that they would like to rent a Wave Runner. So Josh quickly called it in and awhile later it was delivered for the boys to ride while my wife and I enjoyed more snorkeling.
The boys and us finished at almost the same time and we continued touring the Island. They were excellent in every way and was VERY happy we went with them.
I highly recommend them.

After four others didn't show up for our booked land and beach club tour, we had a private tour with guide Sherna and driver Roberto on 3/3/2022. We decided to skip the beach club and asked them to take us on a driving tour around most of the island. It was wonderful as we saw all parts of the island with its history explained. Had lunch at a small local beach restaurant on an out-of-the-way beautiful beach. Food was great and we treated them to lunch with us. Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we now have new friends to visit again!!
