Tour Information...

We'll do everything we can to make your visit to Roatan perfect. We offer three basic private "tours" which can be customized to your individual requirements:

The "Best of Roatan" Tour -- Look over the photos on our site, read previous guests' reviews and let us know your interests! Snorkeling from the beach, Zip Lines, the Iguana Farm, the Cameo Factory, Shopping, Monkeys...just let us know what you'd like to see! We'll do our best to fit as much (or as little!) into your visit to Roatan as possible. We call it the "Best of Roatan" because you tell us what is the "best" tour for you!

Offshore Reef Snorkeling Tour -- If you'd like to see the best reef, travel by boat from the West End. Our boat guides will show you the best snorkeling, which you'll enjoy for at least an hour...offshore and away from the cruise ship crowds!

Roatan Fishing Experience -- Join our experienced Roatan fishermen as they help you to experience some of the best sport fishing available. With many years of local fishing experience, our guides will help you as you troll for Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo or Marlin. Or, if you prefer, bottom fish for Jacks, Snapper or Grouper.

We're proud of our home...Let us show you our Roatan!

Booking a Bodden Tour

We prefer that you book in advance (from our Contact page), and pay in cash at the conclusion of your Bodden Tours trip.

Due to Dock Requirements, You Must PREBOOK Your Bodden Tour! Please bring a print out of your email confirmation when you disembark your vessel, it will help to make sure that we get you with the correct driver. Your tour is only as long as you want it to be -- the sooner you get off your ship and meet our representative, the faster we can get you on your way! For an example, due to the popularity of the Zipline Canopy Tours, wait times can range from 15 minutes to 1 hour, or more. Once your zipline begins, it usually takes 45 minutes to get to the bottom of the Zipline course. The sooner we can get you to the zipline (always our first stop), the faster you will be zipping through the jungle...and the quicker we can get you started on the remainder of your tour!

We'll be waiting for you at the Cruise Ship Dock, which is currently undergoing lots of construction! As you exit your ship, please exit the dock through the gate, past the various ship-sponsored tours. You will then need to cross the small street and look for the wooden Independent Tour booth. Our sign with "VICTOR BODDEN" will be prominently displayed to the left of this wooden tour booth. A Bodden Tours representative will greet you on the sidewalk in front of and to the left of the VICTOR BODDEN sign. We will NOT have any representatives inside the tour booth, only in front and to the left as you face the booth.

Be advised, many other independent tour companies want your business, too! We pride ourselves on our tours, and are happy that you have selected Bodden Tours as your hosts during your Roatan port stop! You will be approached by representatives of many of these other tour companies. We ask that you tell them your tour is already set, and head toward the Victor Bodden representatives in front of and to the left of the wooden tour booth.

Keep in mind, the faster you get off the ship...and the faster you make it to a Bodden Tours representative, the quicker your tour can begin. This will insure a nice, long, relaxing tour of our wonderful island.

Once you are greeted by a Bodden Tours representative, you will be checked in and escorted to your private vehicle. This is when you will meet your Bodden Tours driver, your tour guide for the day. Our representative will go over, with the driver present, the tour that you have requested...including any special requests. Please feel free to ask any and all questions, that's what we are here for!

  • Pirates of the Caribbean Extreme Canopy -- $65 per person. This zipline features nine long ziplines (total length of extreme ziplines is almost 1.4 miles), including the longest zip in the Americas which is over 1800-feet and 328-feet above the jungle below. This zipline is built over a valley between two hills, so you will be zipping above the jungle's canopy with views of the ocean on both sides of the island. For details, visit Pirates of the Caribbean Canopy online. This zipline does not require riders to self-brake themselves to control their speed as others on the island do, and professional guides will escort your group down the course.
