Roatan Shore Excursion: Sloths, Monkeys, Iguanas & Brady's Cay

Wildlife sanctuaries, a chocolate market, and a private island beach in one afternoon

A private shore excursion from Roatan port combines wildlife viewing at two sanctuaries with beach time on Brady's Cay. Your air-conditioned vehicle picks you up at the dock and takes you to see sloths, capuchin monkeys, macaws and iguanas in their natural habitats, then stops at the Macaw Container Market in Coxen Hole for locally made chocolates before ending at the private island for kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkeling.

The experience

You arrive at the port and step into a private, air-conditioned vehicle: no crowded vans, no waiting for a group to assemble. The tour is built for families who want comfort without sacrificing access to the animals. Your guide, who speaks English or Spanish, drives you to the first stop where sloths, capuchin monkeys, colorful macaws and yellow-headed parrots live in their natural habitat. The setting is intimate enough that you can watch the animals move through the trees without the noise and rush of a larger group.

Next is Arch Iguana Conservation, where hundreds of iguanas roam freely across the property. The farm also keeps a small pool with sea turtles and tropical fish, so you move between different species without leaving the grounds. From there, the route takes you to the Macaw Container Market on the main road in Coxen Hole, a daily shopping destination open from 9 am to 10 pm. A chocolate sample is included. You can taste locally made chocolates from the market's factory and browse handmade products directly from Honduran artisans if you want to buy.

The final stop is Brady's Cay, a private island near French Cay where the day shifts from watching to doing. You have access to a beach chair, shower and umbrella. The island has a bar and restaurant where you can order drinks and local food at your own cost. Kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkeling are all available, so you choose how to spend the remaining time before heading back to the ship.
