Victor Bodden tour sloth hug

[wlbox]

Has anyone taken this tour lately?  Including sloth hug and beach afterwards. What beach did you visit?  Recommend it?

Not recently, but we did it a few years back.  Had a great time at the monkey/sloth place.  We went to Bananarama on West Bay Beach.  It was incredibly beautiful, but the one negative was the amount of vendors - pretty much non-stop.

Just used them this week. Sloth/monkey experience was fantastic, West Bay Beach (Henry Morgan resort, $20pp) was also nice if you want a pool and beach. We did best of Roatan tour and next time I'd do the group tour. The guide didn't add any value nor communicate well. He insisted on taking us on a 'city tour' and it was a waste of time and poor AC in his car.

We've used Bodden's Best of Roatan private tours twice since January.  We loved ziplining and the sloth monkey experience.  We had Denry as our guide both times (we requested him the second time) and he found fun, different places for lunch on each tour.  My brother's family also did the Best of Roatan last week.  They loved the monkey and sloths, glass bottom boat and iguanas.  Their guide was George and they were very pleased.

We did the Fun N Sun Tour with Victor Bodden in January.  We were on a small van with a total of 11 people.  Had a great guide that provided lots of info and answered questions.  Very nice guy.  We concluded with about 90 minutes at the Henry Morgan resort. Could have stayed a bit longer, but we were all " a bit older" group.  Beautiful beach and crystal clear water.  Prettiest I've seen in a long while. Easy walk in and out.  Great service.  Guide provided more info on the way back to ship.  Wouldn't hesitate to go again.

Just returned from Roatan and our Sloth hug beach with Victor Bodden. The sloth hug, monkey and birds were great. The beach we were to Henry Morgan was fun. Water was perfect. But they dropped us off and we wasted a long time waiting to be picked up at both locations. Had to just sit and wait as they were busy delivering other clients. Very frustrating and totally a waste of time. Not sure if this is a normal practice but it definitely was not good. We were hot and tired plus returned to our ship much later than expected.

We have used Bodden before and we just do the private tour for about $25 pp.  We stop and see the sloths, go to West Bay Beach (infinity bay resort day pass), and do some quick shopping in West End Village.  West Bay Beach has some of the best snorkeling from shore in the world.  The beach is beautiful.  Go down to the wall area.  We love doing this.

We did the private custom tour in December of 21.  It was raining, so we limited the tour to an island drive-around plus the sloth / monkey experience.  We also had a "real" Roatan lunch... excellent baleadas at... a gas station / convenience store, which amused our guide to no end.  Our guide was excellent!  I can 100% recommend VB Tours.

Great suggestion. Do you know what the day pass price is for Infinity Bay? We did a Bodden trip YEARS ago and ended up on that beach for the afternoon and it was wonderful. We have a group of 10 ranging from 22 to 75, so Infinity Bay looks like it might work out well for us

I have been there when it was $15 pp and the last time it was $20 pp.  I imagine it is up to $25 pp or more now.  Well worth it either way.  We really enjoy it.  We even stayed there for a week once about 4 years ago.
