What To Do In ROATAN?? - Try a Private Island Tour!! (Carnival Mardi Gras Cruise)

Have you ever taken a private tour? You think it will be too expensive, right? Wrong! We had a full island tour, and the cost... $45 per person!!! We started out meeting our tour guide outside of the port and loading in the van. Just driving around the island was beautiful and he pointed out many places to us. The first stop was Manawakie Cultural Park which is also a sloth sanctuary.... this is what we were most looking forward to! We were given an introduction to the three-toed sloths and were able to hold them for as long as we liked! They also have monkeys and macaws that you can hold.
Want to know what is the best thing about a private tour? It is YOUR tour and the guide will customize it for you. We asked if there was a place where we could fly our drones and he delivered by taking us to a nice drive-on beach where we took flight. Next up are the chocolate factory and rum factory. Both were great experiences and we left with some yummy treats.
And what would an island tour be without a beach? The last official stop was Fosters West Bay Resort. The beach was beautiful and the sand was so soft... unlike the beach on Cozumel!! And the cool water was a nice break from the Caribbean heat. Again, what is great about the private tour is that we could stay as long as we wanted.
We were pretty hungry by this time and asked for a spot where we could get some good local food. We had to work for this meal as the restaurant was at the very top of a high hill with LOTS of steps, but it was so worth it! On the way back to port we had a couple of surprise spots when our guide took us to an overlook where we could view the amazing Carnival Mardi Gras... and fly the drone here too. Lastly, we were treated to some delicious local fruit drinks... and I mean DELICIOUS!! What an amazing day we had! We can 1000% recommend this tour when you next visit Roatan!!

We did the same tour only with Real Deal Roatan Tours, only company we use when visiting Roatan! Out of all the tours I ever took while cruising that was by far my favorite! Was Always on my Bucket List to hold sloth, they so cute feel like holding real baby, did I mention my favorite animal. Glad you enjoyed it...Also love the little port their for shopping got myself handcrafted wooden boxes.

[@trinaanderson223]

I've done private tours in Dominica and in St. Kitts and they were probably the best excursions I've experienced! I feel like I learned more about the local culture, history and people and never felt rushed or crowded. Also, the Coke is so much better in the Caribbean than in the states, the cane sugar makes a huge difference! I had one when I was in Curaçao.

[@debwelsh2564]

Yippee. So glad to see this. Hope all is safe at your home in LA with the hurricanes.

[@willgaukler8979]

... that fish looked great and I am not so fond of fish ... you both looked to be in your element as well ... hope you continue to travel & explore ...just take us with you ...

[@65RettasTravels]

Absolutely LOVE seeing you guys holding the sloths, one of my favorite animals, the other a Koala Bear.

[@nancatlin5402]

I can’t afford to travel, but going with y’all is so neat. Thanks

[@holywatermama]

Well that was fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@castle5841]

What a fun filled relaxing day with some awesome people. Michelle and I love you all! Wish we could’ve been there but so glad you all had an amazing time 🤙🏼

[@EECCTravels]

Thank you brotha we love y’all too! It was a great day but it would have even been better if y’all were there.

[@swagfactor1241]

woo hoo! i made it into the video! i’m the dude in the yellow shirt and black hat. i’m at 3:00 and 3:52 our tour went to a different animal exhibit, we got to see monkeys sloths and birds, after we went to little french key and that was a lot of fun, it looks like you guys had a good time as well!

[@EECCTravels]

Very cool!

[@cjsweeting7]

The video was very good.i enjoy all of your videos..keep them coming....the food you pronounced "plan-tains" Is pronounced plan-tans.."i" silent and yes..plantanos in Spanish. Native food on all islands is very delicious..fresh..and the people so respectful and pleasant..so wish I could have been there..especially nxt wk for my 80th and yes that's actually me..now..God is good. Enjoy seeing your videos of all of your excursions land and sea. God bless you..thank you.

[@peggyB7835]

Thanks for the walk to meet up for a private tour. I want to take a tour, but the explanation of the meeting place was slightly confusing and started sounding like I was taking my own self-guiding tour of the island. LOL. They should use your video as a visual tool. Keep sharing your experiences

[@Wild1995]

Thank goodness Jason did not jump from the high deck. I would not even have jumped from the lower one. You don't know what is below with rocks or how deep it is. Looks like an amazing tour BTW. The full monty of Roaton.

[@tr852]

When I went to Roatan we did a private tour, it's absolutely amazing!! Discover the island, the beaches, and the food!! Do your research and find a great company like this one and you will not regret it!

[@tamaradimario7458]

I can't believe Jason forgot his phone. So glad he did not jump from the highest platform. Looks like a beautiful place for a cruise stop.

[@debbiedempsky8160]

We did a similar tour there and loved it. That's the beach we were at. Our driver warned us about the never-ending vendors trying to sell things. We were also warned about the massage ones, because someones they have sticky fingers and may steel your wallet. He said if we sat in the second row of lounge chairs, we wouldn't be bothered as much. He was right. Also pretend to be asleep. I wasn't sure if we would like Roatan, but the sloths and the beach were amazing. The Carnival beach at the pier was far too crowded, so we wanted to try a private tour on our second time there.

[@coralynagain412]

Wow.... had I to re-watch this after reading about the recent death here. Absolutely heart breaking. I thought it was the same platform. Thank Goodness for Jason and his hesitation along with your encouragement to be safe and cautious. Obviously this platform will be removed at this point, but it clearly should have been long before this video was even made.

[@jerrylee457]

I love watching your videos. We are going to Roatan, Cozumel and Costa Maya end of this month. Doing the same Roatan tour. And paradise beach because of your videos! Thank you and I hope to run into you guys on a future cruise :)

[@RoomsETC]

hi Jerry Lee how did your tour go?

[@jeannettedickey7602]

My hubby jumped off the top ledge with some of the local boys!!! He said it was awesome!! And yes those locals that live there that try to sell all their trinkets gets to be a bit too much, they asked more there than some of the other destinations we’ve been too.

[@debwelsh2564]

What a fabulous day. Thanks for sharing all your fun. My favorite was the Slots. Until your next adventure. 🌈

[@Okterp407]

Love the Sloth and Monkey sanctuary. Been there twice.

[@timothywalters4149]

Absolutely loved this Vlog so much to see and do, your driver is so cool taking you where you want to go and for as long as you want. The chocolate shop was very interesting.

[@EECCTravels]

He was fantastic!

[@Solymar79]

Omg Coca-Cola in a glass bottle is the best in the world 🌎 girl just enjoy because is a delicious experience.

[@laurahenshaw3590]

Alisa, I noticed your ponytail safari hat in the last episode & immediately ordered one! Lol now I can finally wear something besides a ball cap on excursions & in the pool! Yay! Thanks!!

[@lillianharris7187]

Last time we were in Roatan you were able to take a taxi down the hill for about $2 per person. When we returned the tour operator dropped us off in side the port

[@HuddleAdventures]

Nice job! We love your videos. Thanks for sharing! Eddie & Laura Huddleston

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I never leave my phone anywhere it means too much to me!!! That chocolate experience looks awesome!!!

[@DoctorCara]

Aww, you got to hold sloths! How sweet!

[@921Kayo]

We did the same tour with Roatan Fun Tours. Our guide was Dripping and he was amazing!😊

[@Joywill86]

We love you guys its really the next best thing to being there when you take us with you, I can't wait. We go on the Mardi Gras end of oct, first cruise since May of 2019 . I'm starting to get excited since I saw you guys here, thanks for what you do!

[@vonniebench]

Loved Roatan - Beautiful island!

[@stephaniem839]

Oh my gosh!! How FUN!!! Thanks for sharing your day!

[@michaelmcshane189]

Thank you for taking me along on your tour!! Looks Beaautiful!

[@gsdmama2]

I have been wanting to go to Roatan and on the Mardi Gras. Sloths, so cute! Can't wait to go now, it's on my bucket list.

[@hernanypapito]

Guys great recommendation on Roatan Fun Tours. We had them today in Roatan. Highly recommend

[@1981cchris]

This is a great video! So much fun!

[@lisaa4454]

That seemed liked a wonderful day!

[@renecorrotto2579]

Wowwww..Roatán it’s nice ✅👍✅👍

[@barbhorton8026]

Great video hope y’all are safe from hurricane

[@julieparker5029]

All your videos are fantastic but this one was a specially awe-inspiring. Absolutely loved everything you did. I definitely want to see the sloths. Jason, did you try any of the rum cigars?

[@EECCTravels]

I did not. I meant to pick on up before we left.

[@teresah5318]

Well that looked like a barrel of fun! I want to hug a sloth!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@stevec6612]

We really enjoy you videos, we are going on the breeze in nov this year, and we want to thank you for all the info.

[@FREEDOMREDBIRD]

Oh the sloths are so cute! Beautiful place! Love chocolate! Great excursion!

[@ashleye91189]

Awwww Alisa your swaying with your sloth like it is a baby ❤❤❤

[@carolmyers1874]

Do sloths enjoy being held? I want to hold one so bad

[@jeffeisenberg4743]

Thank you guys for the fun video. Going to Roatan in Dec 2024. Best Jeff & Sandy Brooklyn Ny

[@sandymackendrick6135]

Yay, love having this to watch today!!

[@christinapeters9699]

Love you guys so much!!! ❤️❤️

[@seetylerrun]

Thanks for this video! Just booked Mardi Gras on Sunday leaving this Saturday after our Greece trip was canceled, so perfect timing!

[@janinebell763]

I love sloths they are amazing. I think that the park is a beautiful place. You seem to really enjoy yourselves.

[@laguns64]

Wow, this was a busy day! Would have loved the sloth refuge and I would love to try the fresh fish there. That looked really good.

[@danakruse7325]

Years ago when I was there I went to donate blood in fl. Because I had traveled there I wasn’t allowed to . Sounds like fun your private tour.

[@tammyweinke1138]

I am wondering where you leave your valuables… like your wallet, IDs, cameras, and even the drone when you go swimming in the various ports. That’s always a worry of mine of where to put them.

[@Holabella]

For phones, we take the waterproof covers (some are better than others). For pictures a GoPro. If you need cash a waterproof money case like the ones you get in a water park.

[@heathahlee]

I can’t wait to go back to Roatan! Pinning this on my Cruisin’ board! ❤️

[@easypeasy1216]

6;00 a.m., sipping coffee, watching your videos. Ahhh, life is good. I will be calling you soon to book a cruise for December. This trip y'all took looks amazing.

[@EECCTravels]

Well good morning to you! 😊🌞☀️

[@tonykirk6935]

We love Roatan! can't wait to get back and enjoy! Great video as always ... EECC Rock!

[@sirrobertrobertson2270]

That was so cute with hug a sloth and twins. Very cool and relaxing day for you both. Stay safe. Cheers.!

[@wesballard7602]

I swear!!! I KNEW that Jason would think a Plantain tasted like a potato!!! I will make him some sweet with butter and brown sugar and he won't say potato! LOL My Mom was raised in Panama and cooked us Plantains. However, Jason is right, they are much like a potato. Luv Yuns!!!! Please DO know that just because people don't always comment or like, doesn't mean there are not people that have watched for a long time and love y'all. Great Job!!! So Happy With the RV change in the Channel. I admit I stopped watching for a bit, But I'm Back and I love it!!!! Thanks...wes&jennifer

[@EECCTravels]

Well you got me on the plantains... Thank you for coming back and we appreciate your loyalty! Hope we can keep you for the longhaul :) Now I need some of those brown sugar and butter plantains!

[@Londonexplore101]

Hi Alisa & Jason, Such a fun day with friends. Sloths are so cute and sweet 😍❤️ Can’t wait for your next vlog. Hope you and your family are safe from Hurricane Ida.

[@ivansbaby69]

[@EECCTravels]

[@henrypeterman3929]

The rotan rum company's spiced rum was great...and I'm with you, the local beer was good too.

[@jessicavaia2122]

Hi love your channel!! I hope you guys will be safe in the hurricane.

[@tashadallas2121]

Thank you for sharing! This tour looks amazing! I may have to book this tour when I go in October🤗

[@Robertmacmedia]

Thanks for sharing great video 👍🏼👈🏼

[@joleneweaver7578]

Trying to plan for 2023...can't wait

[@bekindoklahoma5461]

Last time we went to Roatan did a private tour in morning that wasn't great but yours looked.wonderful and did swimming with dolphins in afternoon which was amazing. We will have to see if they have any wheelchair accessible tours with the sloths for sure.

[@michelemusgrave1157]

You have probably heard about the cruiser who jumped or dove off the top of the platform March 15, 2023 and passed away. When I heard all I could think was how I wished he had seen your vlog. Thank you for warning others.

[@lorettachapman4244]

Loved this vlog!!

[@jonwood4283]

Whelp, y’all’ve done it again. I didn’t really want to cruise, but your videos made me wanna. Then I didn’t want to do anything in the ports but go to the beach, but now this video makes me wanna take this tour!😄👍🏽

[@EECCTravels]

I love this! I hope you have an amazing time on your next cruise!!

[@jackcampbell4465]

I always thought Roatan would be one of those ports I would skip and spend the day on the ship, but it looks soo chill, naturally beautiful, and interesting.

[@EECCTravels]

It really is beautiful!

[@kellyschaffner1571]

There is a really nice free beach in Roatan too!

[@susanwhite2466]

I can't wait to go on a group cruise with yall

[@t.thompson8985]

we had a private tour in Roatan also, we showed up early and they went ahead and took us early. Just my bestie and I. We held the sloths also. So cool. Definitely will do the private tours again. We didn't even see the stairs, we ended up taking a taxi up the hill...lol!

[@jamesplotts2516]

Thanks!

[@jeanniebrock8356]

What a fun day! We did a very similar day a few cruises back. Al ate iguana at that same resteraunt! We go back to Roatan in October and I def want to hold the sloths again!!

[@julieteekell6983]

they use pure Mexican sugar in the sodas --- you can occasionally find them at The Fresh Market or other specialty stores in the U.S.

[@EECCTravels]

Right…its pure cane sugar and we realized that its just been a long timer since we’ve had one and we couldn’t remember it tasting like that. It tasted different from any other Mexican (pure can sugar) coke we’ve ever had is what we meant..lol!

[@johnnaking782]

You guys are awesome! Love your channel 💖

[@dianejohnson6867]

I love Rum Cakes!!

[@marysolurbina]

Omg!!!! I can't wait to taste a coke from Honduras!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@arthurrankin3280]

Was watching one of your videos and noticed Ethan had Alisa's name as part of a tattoo. Aww

[@williamfarmer18]

So jealous y’all have so much fun. Can’t wait till September 2022.

[@dolphinsnshells]

[@josueroatan]

If you're visitin Roatan I would recomend you look up LETS GO ROATAN Tours, experienced tour operator, has lived in Roatan since 1993 and seeing cruise ships since 1995 - Let's Go Roatan

[@nausicaa0hime]

Happy to have found this video, will do the same in Roatan when will be on our cruise. How much do you tip your driver after the tour? It seems to be so nice with you!!

[@Jn-bu2dw]

Nice my honduras

[@jodura3363]

Nice video. Interesting that the plantains tasted like potatoes. I am wondering how it was prepared. Maybe because it was not as ripe. That fish looked delish. Love me some snapper. Anyway as usual it has been fun following along. Kudos to you both for always supporting local. That is awesome
