Bodden Tours

When deciding how to spend a day in port from a cruise or in Roatan for a weekend getaway, there appears to be endless options. However, don't risk your precious time to chance.  Bodden Tours is a unique tour group that offers Roatan experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime.  Victor Bodden was born and raised in Roatan, Honduras, and his expertise of the island is exemplified in the wonderful tours that are offered. 

My absolute favorite, the Fun N Sun Excursion, is a perfect tour for any visitor, regardless of age or level of physical endurance.  When you are on an island as beautiful as Roatan, be sure to choose an activity that will allow you to see some of the culture, as well as spend the day basking on a breathtaking beach. This tour will start in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, as guests are driven through several areas of beguiling Roatan, stopping for photo opportunities along the way.

But don't get too comfortable, because the fun has not even started!  The next stop is Victor's Monkey Business, where visitors may interact with island deer, parrots, monkeys and other animals.  And I do mean up close and personal, because photo opportunities afford the opportunity to pose with monkeys and parrots, a treat that is included in the base tour price. The monkeys are friendly and curious, climbing from one visitor to the next, often stopping to eat a snack or try to steal a pair of sunglasses. This experience is absolutely amazing, and it will undoubtedly be the highlight of any Roatan visit.

After a bit more sightseeing and expert narration from a local guide, you will experience West Bay Beach and the gorgeous Bananarama Beach Resort.  During this two hour stop, you will be provided with a beach chair and use of the restroom and shower facilities.  Feel free to grab lunch, snorkel, swim or even simply relax on the mesmerizing beach.

The  beach is made of soft, white sand, and the water is tranquil and warm, protected by the offshore reef. The water is so clear that you can easily see the tiny fish swimming about your feet! 

Bodden Tours also offers several other touring options, including zip lining, snorkeling and fishing.  And keep in mind that with a private tour, the possibilities are endless!
