Yoga retreat There is NO ONE better than Afan for your Roatan visit! I trusted him like a family member with recommendations and absolutely loved both tours. Stop hesitating and just click to book. You’ll have zero regrets and a lot of jealous friends!

Afam is the best Amazing, my entire family fell in love with Afam showed us the islands best! He started off by showing up with the best homemade guacamole, took us to the monkeys & sloths then a fantastic lunch. And then a boat ride thru the mangroves. He speaks great English & knows the island well. His car was clean & his driving was perfect! We miss him already! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS Excursion! We felt safe & laughed all day!

Afan created an amazing tour! We send our guests with him all the time. He's extremely attentive to all of your needs. He always comes equipped with water or anything else you would like to drink. He knows this island like the back of his hand. So he shows you all the places that most tours don't take you on. Plus, he's willing to work with you and customize your tour depending on what you are interested in. We cannot recommend Afan enough! You won't be disappointed.

Best tour even in the rain! The tour was fantastic. We were able to contact Afán, the tour manager, several days beforehand, and everything went perfectly despite the heavy rain. We saw many places on the island, and it was a private tour. Highly recommended.

Awesome day of sloths, monkeys, rum & chocolate with Libby! Had a great experience with our tour guide/driver Libby! It’s hectic getting off the ship and trying to locate your tour- but ask anyone for your tour & they will direct you! “Libby” met us & was smart enough to park a few blocks away to avoid the gridlock of taxis, busses, vans & cars. It was a small walk, but worth being able to get on our way sooner! We hit several spots on the tour & we drove across the island to West End- which was a really cute beach community. I felt we got a good feel for the island. I would have been willing to pay more for an included lunch or a spot where lunch was available to purchase- maybe that can be added to future tours. Libby spoke prefect English and was very personable & had a wealth of information to share! I loved the sloths - which was the highlight of the tour. I got to cuddle with “Sophie”! Libby took us to a further away sanctuary so we beat all the crowds! The “Spiced” rum was our unanimous favorite & I loved the coffee flavored chocolate! I highly recommend this tour & Libby!

Best day ever We had such an amazing day being shown around the island by Afan - worth booking directly rather than direct through Royal Caribbean. Nice SUV with air conditioning - we visited the Sloth and Monkey park, local markets, rum tasting and a beautiful lunch spot. Thanks Afan, we had so much fun!

Afan.. more then a friend!!! Do Roatan day tours was recommended by our friend Dan who was visiting this beautiful island last year. We contact Afan and we organize the tour with him. He tell us in the email that he will bring one more tour guide and we didn’t even think that the tour guide will be his two year old son Tristan 🤣 the most beautiful baby in the world. We went for zipline and we did monkey park. Afan tell us his story when we was working on the cruise ship and it was fascinating. Afan is a friend for life!!
