Such a great tour!! Well worth the price. Was driven around by a local expat with so much knowledge of the island. Great vehicles. Great visit to the local rescue for the monkeys and sloths, really nice snorkel spot. Snorkel guides were great and the equipment was in great shape. A really enjoyable experience - highly recommended. Also, they tour guide took great care in getting us back to the port in lots of time for our departure.

Harlan our guide is the best (Perfect combo)
Tony_V, Apr 2024
Harlan our guide, was incredible I told him my kids wanted to try something fresh coconuts and while we were on our snorkeling part of the excursion he went out of his way to bring some for my kids and surprised us with them. Our group, also wanted to try some local food and on the way back to the cruise terminal he stopped at a beautiful place for us overlooks the water. Harlan was also very informative about everything, was waiting for us as it was a very smooth transition getting to our vehicle and we were one of the first groups to arrive at ajs Monkey and sloth park. The sloths were so awesome and the monkeys were super cool. Definitely worth every penny and Honduras was my oldest son favorite port out of our 3 stops. Highly recommend this tour!
Loved it, even with the pee
Matt_B, Apr 2024
We loved the sloths! Be careful with the guinea pigs, they pee in your hands! My kids were a little uncertain, but the guides were fantastic and helped calm them. 10/10 would go again.
The whole experience was...

The whole experience was amazing! Ana our guide was so kind and worked hard to accommodate everyone in the van. She was knowledgeable and very solicitous of what we wanted to do. The whole experience was wonderful!
Terrific

Perfect Roatan Combo
Kimberly_H, Apr 2024
This was a great adventure! Port is very busy so know whom you booked thru is key! (Getaway ie) The tour was perfect! The guides were very knowledgeable. Monkeys and sloths are always so much fun. Snorkeling was a great add on. Saw amazing coral reefs and flora. Such beautiful water. Def recommend this excursion!
Makes me smile every time I think about it!
Nikki_M, Apr 2024
So much fun to be able to hold the sloths and let the monkeys jump all over you, and those little Guinea pigs were just adorable! This adventure was so amazing, my boys and I will never forget it!
Loved it!

My favorite shore excursion of our trip around Central America! The first stop at AJ's Monkey & Sloths was a great experience for the kids/teen we had in our small group (tip - go on the early morning tour to get ahead of the big groups). No waiting, we got to pet/hold wild guinea pigs, the adorable sloths, parrots (on our arms), and Capuchin monkeys jumped on our heads. Small park but animals were active, well-cared for, and staff was great. Snorkeling was amazing. Short boat trip out to a 6' deep reef area full of beautifully-colored fish, conch shells, lobster, and I even spotted stingray. An easy snorkel for beginners but still captivating. Friendly staff all-around. Only issue was trying to find the small, hidden exit out into downtown area where a ton of tour guides were lined along a busy street holding up signs. Luckily locals are very friendly/helpful and pointed us in the right direction to find our tour guides.
Love the Sloths!
Julie_H, Mar 2024
The kids and I loved the animals! Getting to hold the Sloth and play with monkeys was awesome. The snorkeling was good, a little bit too fast paced for our liking but overall the trip was amazing!
Experience of a lifetime
Marla_P, Mar 2024
Staff was kind, informative , knowledgeable, loved this experience. If your an animal lover like me, you will absolutely love this experience. I was able to hold a sloth and have monkeys jump on your head. Oh don't forget about the macaw on your arm and holding a baby guinea pig. LOVED IT
Great experience!
Stephanie_M, Mar 2024
We loved seeing the animals and the guided snorkeling was perfect. Our driver Bob was very friendly as were the staff at AJs and the boat/snorkeling crew!
Roatan snorkeling
Deborah_L, Mar 2024
Our driver was Charles and he was friendly. The snorkeling was incredible and the crew was great! Please be aware that even if you reserve your time slot on-line, the tour company can change it. We were scheduled for 9 and it got changed to 1:00 due to all of the cruise ships in port.
Great guide, great experience, everyone was so helpful and kind with our littles!
Jesseca_L, Mar 2024

Excellent
Cynthia_S, Mar 2024
Monique was the best!!! She took us to the Sloths, Monkeys, etc, then snorkeling, and to the chocolate factory! She was great and I was totally comfortable with my two young children. She was like our own personal driver and I would request to go again with her.
Kate was super friendly....
chau_c, Mar 2024

Bonnie_S, Mar 2024
I had never snorkeled before ! It was an amazing experience. Though I tired after an hour and the guide helped me back to the boat. It was great The sloths, monkeys and birds were fun to watch
Highly Recommended Animal Encounter and Snorkeling!
Jeremiah_O, Mar 2024
This was the absolute highlight of our entire cruise. Kids had a blast with the animals - especially the sloths and the monkeys. The snorkeling was also fantastic. We couldn't possibly recommend this enough. Rex was our tour guide, and he made the entire thing completely seamless. Finding the group outside the cruise terminal was no problem.
Great friends, great vacation
Gina_M, Mar 2024
Everything was great. Can't wait to go back. There was six of us in our group. Loved seeing the sloths, birds and monkeys. Monkeys were the funniest. Then snorkeling was the highlight.
Amazing!
Daryn_C, Mar 2024
We had a wonderful time on this excursion! Ana was a perfect guide. She offered historical information about the island with a fun and personal point of view! The sloth/monkey experience was great! The handlers there knew their animals and were very informative. Snorkeling was also amazing! We saw so much marine life and the guide stopped to show us each time he found something interesting! I can’t say enough good things, and I would definitely book it again!
