Hi, my name is Joseph, I am a 27-year-old professional local experienced tour guide. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Roatan, located in Honduras, C. A. Growing up on the island has drawn me to develop the passion and love for the ocean and all its natural habits. Growing up over the years on the island I have been certified as a local PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, which allows me to enjoy and admire the beauty of the ocean below. I am the founder and owner of Roatan Reef Explorers which is a local business I created to share my love and passion with people from all around the world to come and experience why I love this island and all its surroundings, like snorkeling and scuba diving around the second greatest barrier reef in the world (Mesoamerican Barrier Reef) and admiring the sea life and the beauty of its nature. I also enjoy guiding people to all the nature parks on the island, where I've had the opportunity to embrace the wildlife and the island culture. My goal is to teach and inspire the people I make contact with, to love and take care of nature and all its beauty that this island has to offer. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor #431369 Emergency First Responder Instructor I am not a licensed guide to assist travelers in wheelchairs.

Overview of your Roatan tour

Join me on an adventure where you will get the opportunity to experience a little bit of the island and learn about its culture and history - like how and why this place was named Roatan, which was its first name, the traditional food, local cakes, and much more. I will be your experienced local guide for the day! I will take you to some of Roatan's most famous and beautiful stops where you can take pictures that will turn into long-lasting memories. Follow by a stop in the Sanctuary where you will learn about the sloths, monkeys, tropical birds, and more wildlife species. Then it's time for a unique snorkel adventure guided by your local scuba guide. You will explore and admire the island's most beautiful coral reef and its amazing sea life, such as blue tang, sergeant major, stingrays, spotted eagle rays, green turtles, grouper, nurse sharks, squids, barracudas, needlefish, and much more.

Today our tour included 4 - 20 something’s and 2 - 60 something’s. It was a lot of fun! Joseph was friendly, fun and ready to show off his beautiful island home, its reef, its wildlife and its delicious local fresh seafood. We wish we could have had better weather, but can’t control that. Joseph was flexible and managed to modify the order of itinerary to work around rain, traffic and multiple cruise ship crowds. He found us good snorkeling where we saw a lot of sea life. Later we toured the Monkey and Sloth sanctuary where they allow you to pet/hold some of the inmates. Finally, we asked about where we could get good local food and he took us to one of his favorites. We highly recommend this tour - lots to see, good value, great service.

When a tour guide can make a pouring rain day full of laughs and adventure, then you know he’s a great guide! We even got the monkeys to come down. And our 4 year old loved the zip lines. Great day! Great driver! Fabulous guide!

What an amazing tour we had. Joseph was absolutely the best guide. Our party of 6 had Roatan as a port of call and we decided to book a private island excursion. Joseph had a nice van that accommodated us all. He took us to a monkey & sloth park, rum tour, chocolate tour, lunch and we still had 2+ hours at a nice beach. Half Moon Bay beach is the place to go. It was not very crowded, had food, drinks, snorkel gear, shade and loungers. BOOK this trip without hesitation.

We had an amazing g time with Joseph. He was funny, organized and took us to some additional places that weren't listed in the tour. We got off our cruise ship and he was waiting for us. It was nice to have a private tour. Would 100% recommend.

Thank you Joe for sharing your island of Roatan with us. We especially enjoyed travelling the back roads, tasting some local food, and one of the best spots for a view of the island. You listened to what we wanted to do and exceeded our expectations.
