Creator's Key Takeaways

this was my third time going to Roatan and I have to be honest the Excursion and the activities that we did on this day were the best that we have done so far

Roatan is a little bit less developed than some of the Eastern and Western Caribbean islands so it probably is a good idea to not go off on your own and instead to book an Excursion

we were able to go and see the sloth and yes we were able to hold a sloth

the vendors are not allowed to cross over that line or rope

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book an excursion either privately or with the cruise line instead of going off on your own
βœ“Consider a private tour for flexibility and to avoid waiting in larger groups
βœ“Be aware that resort areas at West Bay Beach have entry fees for chairs and facilities
βœ“Expect vendors on West Bay Beach and use resort areas to avoid hassle
