Animals were adorable. Attendants were very careful. Driver was excellent. The experience was very representative of the area. Beautiful views, many ziplines, fun staff.

No intermediate necessary. The Henry's guides we're organized, kind, and wanted to guide us through more, but we just wanted the ziplines and monkey experience. The iguana farm was awesome. The monkeys and sloths were also great. My tour guide Christian was outstanding!!! He was very friendly and gave me a history lesson of the island Roatan which was a great perk.
My first point of contact was also very friendly!! We also loved the snorkeling. Our guide Kate was knowledgeable and gave us great background on Roatan. It was a lot of fun. The zoo was unbelievable with the monkeys and sloths and all the animals. After the tour, we went to the beach for 3 hours. The beach was great and the food and drinks were too. Ben, the tour driver, was great.
Thanks Ben. Pickup is included from your location and they send an awesome your guide to get you. He will stay with you throughout the entire tour and gives so much more then what they show on the site.
We learned all kinds of history and saw the entire island. I'd definitely recommend asking for Joel if you can. We started off ziplining which included the fastest zipline I've ever been on. Then we got to not only see but we got to hold them and feed them and learn about them. It was unforgettable.
Then we went mudding on atvs which also had beauty and lessons of culture and history. We left covered head to toe in mud and it was awesome. Don't worry they have outdoor showers to rinse off and a bathroom to put a change of clothes on which you will want as your next stop is their famous chocolate factory.
We tasted all kinds of chocolate, had delicious coffee, paninis, dessert and great conversation with our guide. He showed us all the cool Hotspot on the island and gave us great spots to hit after.
