Are you ready for the experience of a lifetime? Well, this is it! A full mile of exceptional fun and easy drift snorkeling and more!

Meet your guides outside your Roatan cruise port and board your air-conditioned transportation for a scenic 15-30 minute ride to French Cay where you will board your boat. Sail the crystal clear water to French Cay, one of the best-preserved reefs on the southern coast of Roatan. Your guide will pass out the snorkeling gear and show you how to use it. Once you have all of the equipment, your guides assist you into the water and lead you on an easy and relaxing adventure. The boat will remain nearby to ensure your safety.

The water is shallow, so you will see an abundance of live coral and marine life. Don't forget your underwater camera because the photo opportunities are limitless! Along the mile-long reef, you can see lobster, lionfish, squid, butterfly fish, and if you are lucky, southern stingrays from a safe distance below! Even though the snorkel covers approximately a one-mile stretch, there is very little kicking needed as you will drift with the slow current. Snorkelers of all ages will enjoy this one!

The snorkel time takes approximately one hour. You will board the boat and cruise back to get back on your transportation and head to the Monkey Park just a few minutes away! If you ever wanted to get up close and personal with monkeys, sloths, exotic birds, iguana, and more, this is the spot. There are countless monkeys in residence at this animal preserve. You will spend about 40 minutes in the park.

Your last stop is Little French Key where you can relax at the beautiful beach. Beach chairs are available. Just kick back and soak in the natural beauty and the views of the aqua blue water or stroll the powdery white, soft sand along the beach. For an additional price, food and beverages are available. Time allowing you can enjoy the beach between 1 - 2 hours.

At the end of your experience with all types of nature, your transportation will return you to your Roatan cruise port. What stories you will be able to share!

Fantastic tour!

5/5 January 2020

This was our favorite excursion!!! Once we left the cruise pier, we were surrounded by locals trying to get our business, but someone pointed us right to our guide Herbito holding the ROA sign. We had a great time at the monkey sanctuary holding the sloths. The snorkeling on the reef was fantastic! So beautiful. It was also nice to have two guides in the water with us, Mike and Norman. We ended the day at French key resort which was just a darling local place. We had a great waiter that brought us ice cold drinks and food if we wanted. Our only complaint is that the cruise ship was leaving early that day and we wished we’d had more time to enjoy the resort. There were a ton of activities we could have enjoyed there if we’d had the time. Herbito pocked is up from the resort and gave us a scenic tour through the Roatan mountains on the way back to the pier. (They) was absolutely fantastic, and we would definitely recommend them, and this excursion. So fun!!!

AWESOME AWESOME!!! Marjorie the best!!

5/5 February 2020

First of all.... DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TAKING EXCURSIONS NOT BOOKED THROUGH BOAT!!!!! I used shore excursioneer and they hooked us up with Marjorie and the best day of our trip! We met her right away, right where she said she would be. She was just adorable, informative and so capable! She drove us in her pickup truck 45min to the sloth/monkey hangout. I dont know the difference between the hangout and Daniel Johnsons but this was just awesome. The drive out to them was my favorite.... Marjorie told my 2 boys (9,12) about growing up there and having 5 monkeys as pets! She told them what life was like for her and her family etc. It was everything I wanted for them... to see how beautiful other countries are, how they speak other languages and how different their culture is. We got there and held a sloth and then went into the monkeys who were incredible. Our guide there was Isaac and he was just awesome! We finished up with the monkeys and then went in to see the birds. Marjorie was waiting for us and then took us over to her friends/partners who took all of us out on a boat to a reef. The water makes you speechless!!!! The water was rough to us but according to them it was great so just be aware of that. When we were done with snorkeling, we went back in and Marjorie was waiting for us to go over to Little French Key. DO NOT MISS LFK IF GOING TO ROATAN!!!! Stunning water and just awesome people. We had 1-2hours there and I am already looking into ways to vacation just in Roatan. When we were done with LFK the boat brought us back to Marjorie who was ready to get us back to the boat. Roatan is now my most favorite magical place!!!

Fun filled day

1/5 January 2020

We had an amazing time on this excursion. Our driver Marjorie was excellent. Our first stop was to see the sloth and monkeys...it was amazing and while holding a sloth was never on my bucket list I am so happy that we was able to do this. The monkeys were awesome as well. The snorkeling was fantastic and the rest of the day spent at Little French Key was wonderful. I highly recommend this excursion and would go on it again myself.

I\'d Give This 10 Stars if I Could

5/5 January 2020

This was the highlight of our cruise. We loved every bit of this excursion from the time that we met Marjorie (at the Port), to when she had to drop us off to return to our ship. First stop was the DJ Sloth and Monkey Park where we got to hold a sloth. So cute! You can go in with some super curious monkeys and then in with some macaws. All of the animals are rescues, people had purchased them as pets originally. After the awesome animal encounter we got to go snorkeling. Our guides were great and the snorkeling was amazing! It was wonderful to see a reef that was so vibrant. And all the fish...it almost didn\'t seem real! We also saw a shipwreck. After snorkeling we got to have a beach break at Little French Key. That place was exactly what I\'d imagined a tropical island paradise to be - turquoise waters, cool drinks, soft sand... You can\'t go wrong booking with this family owned and operated tour company.

Amazing bargain!

5/5 February 2020

This was the first time we ever used a non-cruise line booking for an excursion and things couldn\'t have gone better. The guides were waiting for us right where they said they\'d be (it was a bit of a walk just fyi). They were easy to find and professional. When we checked in we told them 1 person in our reservation wouldn\'t be able to make it and that was no problem for them. The (provider), simple reduced our bill without any haggling or discussion of it being too late for a refund. After we checked in we waited about 10 minutes then they took us to the little shuttle/minivan while we waited for the rest of our party. We had 3 more people join us, a family from Syracuse, and then we were off. Our first stop was to visit the monkeys and sloths. This is a separate business right near Little French Key and was a wonderful place to hangout. They had a couple types of monkeys, sloths (hi Sid), and a few macau birds as well. Once done we left there and our guide walked us about 5 minutes to our boat for our snorkeling portion. Another couple joined us on the boat for snorkeling along with 3 guides. The boat was smaller than some people may be used to, but it was sound and had a ladder for climbing back in after snorkeling. The wind was really high that day so they stopped off with many other boats along the interior where the water wasn\'t too rough and we snorkeled in along the smaller reef heading towards Little French Key. The snorkeling was the best we had on our entire trip (Cozumel and Belize being the other two stops). We saw a large barracuda, lots of fish, lobsters, etc. After we finished, we convinced him to at least go out and look at the alpha site. The water was rough and the current was fast but we were all experienced snorkelers except for 1 person so they decided that if we wanted they could let us drift over the beginning of the reef and get washed into the harbor for those that were willing to try it. The inexperienced person stayed in the boat but the rest of us went for it and WOW. I\'ll go back to see that reef again any day. Just the portion we saw was amazing. At this point in time the trip had already paid for itself. It was the cheapest and best. After getting us all back into the boat safely (which was a challenge with the swell) we were off for Little French Key. They gave us a 1 liter bottle of water on the way. Considering this was on top of what we\'d already gotten it was a Major Bonus as LFK itself was worth the price we paid. We got 3 hours at LFK and then the boat picked us back up and back we went. I\'ve always booked thru cruise lines before but this was eye opening. We got so much more from this excursion and it was $20 less per person than what we could get from the ship that I will definitely book thru them again! My sister was on the cruise with us. She booked LFK directly, with no snorkeling add on and paid around $100/person. If you add in the price of food at LFK my wife and I spent $75 and we got way more bang for our buck. A note about LFK, the food was terrible ;) That has nothing to do with ShoreExcursionner, just an fyi for you.

Too much driving and waiting around

3/5 February 2020

This tour would be better if you came in on Princess or Carnival via the other cruise terminal. Coming into Coxen Hole is a congested nightmare. The driver has to take the long way to bypass town with will eat up over an hour of your time. The other port is about 10 minutes away and you will get more out of your excursion. We also spent to much time waiting on the boat to come back go do the snorkling and Little French Key visit

Loved it!

5/5 March 2020

The sloths were my favorite! Absolutely a must do! Little French key was very relaxing as well, although the food wasn’t that good. Snorkeling was ok but the guide said that it was unusually murky that day and very choppy and lots of jellyfish that stung. So overall I would definitely do it again without the snorkeling. Our guides were great too. We only had one other couple on the snorkeling part and we were the only ones in the vehicle to get from one location to the other.

Go to the orange building, through it ,up the stairs,down the hill and to the right are your guides. All of the guides were amazing. Kait and Freddie were our first two guides and drivers. Erickson and Derek were our snorkel guides. They went above and beyond to keep us safe and happy. The sloths and monkeys were so much fun. Little fridge keys is beautiful. But don’t order food. They are too slow.

We booked through Shoreexcursioneer.com. Brandon and his group of guides made this family outing the best it could have possibly been. The sloths and monkey part was so interactive and loads of fun. He then took us to the snorkeling and Little French Key part of the excursion and those guys were awesome. They made sure to check with us when we wanted to be back at port. We set a time and they were there when they said they would be. The snorkeling was great and the several of the guides stayed in the water with us pointing out certain fish and one even drove down with my GoPro to get an up close picture. The whole day was awesome experience. Highly recommend this company.

Had a great day with Margaret our driver who was fab at sharing her local knowledge and went out of her way to make us feel at home in the island. Snorkelling with Mike, Garet and Norman thanks you so much for taking care of us and making sure we were all comfortable I think he water. Picking out the best snorkelling area for us despite the weather we had a great time.

One of the best days!

5/5 November 2019

The water so blue, the fish in abundance and so colorful. The reef was large with lots of color and amazing views. But the best part of the excursion was the monkeys and the sloths. To become a “tree” for Jordana was awesome. Would love to spend more time with them. Just a hint, unless your up to walking, take a cab to the pick up point. It’s quite an uphill walk.

Super fun!

5/5 November 2019

We got off the boat late because of Norwegian\'s horrendous tender process. We docked at 7am but didn\'t get off until 11am. It was ridiculous. I didn\'t the tour people would even be there since we were so late. Lucky for us, the other couple who booked the tour also got off late and they had barely left when we showed up. They were nice enough to turn back around to pick us up. We drove out to the animal sanctuary and our guide was a really nice and friendly lady who answered all of our questions and had a lot of info about the whole area. At the sanctuary we got to hold sloths and take pics and videos with them. Then we got to play with the monkeys a bit as well as the parrots. It was a little crowded and felt a little rushed but it was still enjoyable. We then headed out to our boat for snorkeling. We had 2 guides take us out and both were outstanding. They take you out into the open water, and one guide leads the way and the other takes the boat to the meeting spot. The water is perfect, you could easily see 30ft down. Lots of fish and cool coral to see. After that they offered to stop at Little French Caye and Big French Caye. We weren\'t overly interested because we were pretty worn out and it was getting close to be needing to get back to the ship. However we relented and it ended up being a great treat. It\'s a small island with large jungle animals on it. They had a jaguar, white lions, white tigers, white peacocks, pigs and squirrels all around. I feel back that these majestic animals are in such small cages but they\'re probably safer in there than out in the jungle with the poachers. They look very well taken care of and fat and happy. The lions were like 2 large kittens just playing with each other. Super adorable. The beach looked great but we didn\'t swim or relax, it was just a quick stop to see the animals. Our two guides were super awesome. Great to joke around with and very knowledgeable about what they do for a living and really enjoy it. We felt very safe and had zero concerns. After that it was back to the boat without issues. There was a bit of traffic since it was later in the day. Of course, it took over an hour to board the ship due to the huge amount of people and a lack of tenders thanks to Norwegian again. I\'d highly recommend the tour. Though you need to be aware of your limits snorkeling in open water. Use the life vest unless you\'re in really good shape.

This was a great snorkling tour at the reef!

5/5 December 2019

So, the only part of the review that counts is the people that run this excursion. They are very nice and dont rush you through anything. They work with what time you need to be back at port add a buffer for traffic, and get you back in time. We had a great time at Daniel Johnsons Sloth and Monkey park, snorkeling the reef, and then finished it off at Little French Key, which was really cool. Overall, we saw the value in what we paid and what was included. Everything is very close together so not too much time is spent traveling in a van.

Amazing!! Ended up being our favorite excursion/destination

5/5 December 2018

From the very beginning this excursion was amazing. Brandon was our tour guide/driver for the whole day. He spoke perfect English and was very trustworthy. He took us to the Monkey and Sloth Hangout first. This place was amazing. Sid the sloth was very cool and being able to hold him made for some awesome pictures. We were able to go inside the monkey cages and interact with them as well. They were all named after Jersey Shore cast which fit their personality perfectly. Next was the Snorkel. All of the staff at the snorkel place were very knowledgeable and we would definitely do it again. We were able to snorkle over a sunken ship and one of the guides even dove down with our GOPRO to get amazing footage. Little french key was amazing as well. I could spend a whole day at any of these places. We will definitely be going back to Roatan and doing these again.

Just returned from our cruise and Roatan was in our itinerary. First time cruisers and visitors. We decided on the snorkel drift (first time snorkelers too!) Our guides took us to this site where the current takes you slowly on an amazing snorkeling experience. The visibilty was so clear! It was one of the most memorable experiences! Awesome guides who were really helpful. We later went to the monkey park which was really fun and we took some great pictures with the adorable capuccino monkeys! The last stop was at the beach where we relaxed and enjoy. We were taken back to the port in timely matter. Everything went perfect on our first visit!
