Wow! We hoped our first port day of our cruise was going to set the tone for the rest of our Excursions, especially since we never cruised before and was not sure about booking direct through Viator. Not only did the this trip set the tone, it set the bar very high on our expectations for the following days.
#1 Reni - our host, guide, newest friend, was amazing. He took care of our every need including taking us our of the busy tourist areas to our stops to visit the sloths to our dive. He absolutely made this trip amazing, answering all of our questions, laughing with is along the way, and rerouting us to enjoy an amazing lunch before getting us back to our ship on time, even with the traffic.
#2 Time with the sloths and monkeys. We spent as much time as was needed in this Sanctuary, and was impressed at how much care was given to ensure the animals are not forced or stressed to interact.
#3 The dive - We had an amazing dive! We had mixed experience divers on the trip and they accommodated us so we could dive together. Highly recommend the dive shop that was booked for us.
#4 Roatan Five Stars - the agency that took care of the entire customized experience is amazing!! They reached out after the excursion was booked, provided very clear instructions to the meeting point days before, and have well identified personnel all wearing the same shirts at the meeting point. They took care of all our admission fees, the dive coordination and lunch. And of course they scheduled us with Reni, again who was absolutely delightful, and gave him the ability to be flexible with our schedule while keeping with in their company guidelines. This group is professional and well run! We would absolutely use them again.
Thank you for a most memorable and excellent day at Roatan!!
