Kellyfkrc Posted June 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I am going on a cruise in Dec and want to know if there are any good excursions in Roatan. I am looking at a non-ship spa excursion.... is it safe for a female to travel alone? Any suggestions are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted June 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have found that it is pretty hard to avoid Victor Bodden Tours...I am not sure that he is the best but he is likely the biggest independent operator. If you are traveling in a group tour you will certainly be OK .... on your own, well I am not sure. http://boddentours.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamartha Posted June 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I give huge props to Victor Bodden. I would not hesitate to book even as a single female. His drivers will take care of you and tailor the day to your interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamer320 Posted June 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2014 If you use Victor Bodden, try to get a specific guide that's been recommended. We had a pretty bad experience with our private tour - practically non-existent air-conditioning in the van, we had to argue with our driver to not be taken to multiple tourist shops, and we came very close to getting in a head-on collision when he tried to pass on a hill. Many others have had good experiences, but just don't expect all guides/tours to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guide was pleasant but very young. We also ended up at a tourist shop. A few minutes would have been fine but he had friends there and I finally had to tell him it was time to go. :confused: I usually enjoy private tours. Our guide would answer specific questions but not eager to share any other information. I think he was just anxious to get us back to port. I wouldn't rule out Victor Bodden in the future because of all the good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
