ROATAN Wildlife & ATV Buggy Thrill: Geschichte, Faultiere & Strandglück

Buggy Adventure (Worst) The Buggy experience was terrible. They could never get them working fully. We were supposed to follow our guide, but everyone's buggy kept breaking down and we had to wait for someone to come fix it or wait for a replacement. Our buggy wouldn't stay running, but luckily the started worked great because I had to keep restarting it. Our buggy also wasn't powerful enough to make it up a hill that we were supposed to go over. My wife and the wife in the buggy behind us had to get out and push it up the hill. When I finally made it over the top, my wife slipped and fell. Just ridiculous that customers had to get out on the course just to try and make it through. We were the first group of the day, so there shouldn't have been this many issues. We made one circuit around their course and then back in for all of us because it was so bad and they had so many issues. I've attached a couple of pics of how well the seatbelts were attached and the injury to my wife's knee after having to push us up a hill. Sloth Hangout (Highly Recommend) The Mayan Eden Park was awesome. They had a butterfly exhibit that you could walk through, we got to hold a Toucan, Macaw, a baby monkey and a sloth. I would highly recommend this park for sure. Private Beach Resort (Good) The water was only about 3-4 feet deep, but the beach was nice. There were plenty of beach seating for everyone and the locals were making drinks that were very tasty in pineapples and coconuts. Overall, if we could have done this excursion without the buggies, we would have rated it much higher.

Couldn't wait to reach Roatan and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the second we got off the ship the people were all so very kind and helpful. Our guide for our excursion, Basin (not too sure of the spelling), was very informative, not to mention a whole lot of fun. We arrived at the Sloth/Monkey/Toucan/Parrot place and were quickly introduced to Joshue who was very knowledgeable on all the inhabitants. Holding a Sloth has always been up there on my bucket list, they are such interesting and adorable creatures. The caregivers were all more than happy to take multiple pictures of us holding the Sloths, Monkeys and Parrots... all with our own cell phones. After leaving the animals we headed over to Roatan ATV & Dune Buggy where we were fitted with bandanas over our heads, and helmets. We were given video instruction and brought down the hill to the ATV's. My husband and I were directly behind our guide and had no trouble keeping up. Word of advice, be kind and patient as it may be the first time for some riders, so not unusual to stop a few times along the way. I could have ridden through the jungle all day. We returned to the main area after our ride, said our goodbyes, took some more pictures and headed to our next stop. Las Palmas was the perfect ending. We enjoyed the beach, some food, drinks and of course all that beautiful sunshine. This was by far our favourite island port. We look forward to returning to Roatan for a longer hotel beach stay vacation. Thanks again to all who made this day the highlight of our trip.

What a great way to spend the day! Oscar was our driver, and team 3 did our ATV tour. Our 11 and 14 year old girls enjoyed everything about this day - despite the pouring rain at the eco-park. We got MUDDY (floor it through the mud pit to really get your kids SOAKED). Oscar stopped to let us try a unique island food roadside (green mango with hot sauce and vinegar...we were split on whether or not it was delicious). Finished the day relaxing (and clean) at the beach. Definitely bring towels and a clean, dry change of clothes.
