Guest Comment:
I just wanted to convey our sincere thanks to you and your staff. We came in on the Carnival Legend and were so pleased to see Dennis waiting for us. After a wonderful drive across your beautiful island with some points of interest noted to us by Dennis, we arrived at your shop on the Turquoise Bay resort. What an exciting adventure. Your staff at the shop was quick and professional and it wasn’t long before we were in the boat ready to go. Your staff even came up with a battery for my wife's dive computer which had gone dead. We were concerned with time and wanted to go shopping so we chose to do only one dive. In a flash Kenroy had us heading towards our destination. Vanessa gave us a briefing and made sure we were all ready to go. We went to the Labyrinth. Vanessa and Jason the intern took us down and we had a great time winding through the shallow canyons. The coral formations and the fans were the most abundant and alive I have ever seen, and I have been diving 20 years. Roatan is a true gem as is Subway Water Sports. Near the end of our dive we even got to see a large nurse shark resting in the coral. With the exception of having to dive so early because Carnival Cruise Lines scheduled our ship to make port at 6am, I don’t think I could have been happier. Your staff was completely at our disposal and everything we needed or wanted was literally there before we could ask. I know of no better referral than word of mouth and I will recommend your shop to anyone and everyone. I will also repeat my business as your customer. As soon as we can, my family will return and this time we are staying on the beautiful resort your dive shop is located on. I can not wait to see you all again.

Roatan Kayaking and Snorkeling Tour
Enjoy Kayaking along mangroves and snorkelling by boat on Roatan’s amazing coral reef as well as spectacular views of the island. This tour has it all.
You will take a 30 to 40 minute drive from the ship's dock to your starting point. The drive will take you along a very scenic route with spectacular lookouts over the reefs on the north shore of Roatan. The driver will stop for pictures on request. Upon arrival, your experienced guide will provide you with life vests and snorkel gear and explain basic paddling techniques for your sit-on-top style kayak before you set off on your adventure. Kayaking will be on the quiet north shore of Roatan in the calm water behind the barrier reef along the deserted beaches and mangroves. After almost an hour of kayaking you will switch on to a bigger boat that takes you out for an hour of snorkeling on the spectacular coral reef. Or you may choose to stay on land and relax on the beach where you also find a beach bar that sells tropical drinks, sodas and beer.
Kayakers of all abilities are welcome to experience the beauty, the nature and the fun of this half-day trip. However, you must be reasonably fit and a good swimmer for this moderately strenuous excursion. Not recommended for kids younger than 10 years.
2 people minimum 12 maximum. $ 75 per person (prize is cash only)

Guest Comment:
We got back from our cruise last night. We had a great time, but I must say that your tour was the highlight of our trip. While all of our other excursions were fine, they were packed with people and very busy, not relaxing. On the other hand, your tour was well organized, friendly, exclusive and relaxed. The Palmetto Bay Plantation was beautiful and the kayaking and snorkeling was outstanding. Mark was an excellent guide and I appreciate him making my wife feel comfortable on the water. She was very nervous when she started but with Mark's guidance she felt safe and enjoyed the trip. The lunch that was served was a perfect ending to a perfect day. I will recommend your tour to anyone I know who is heading to Roatan in the future. Our driver got us back to the ship in plenty of time and he too was a great guide. Thanks for some great memories.

Guest Comment:
We really enjoy Roatan, it was a favorite of everyone in our group. We loved the zip line and everyone we met who worked there was pleasant and delightful. The young man who escorted our small group was wonderful. He was funny and made the experience even more fun. Your drivers were helpful and gave us lots of insight to the area. We loved the resort you took us to after the zip line. It was very clean, and we practically had the beach to ourselves. We all had lunch there and enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and accommodating. So thank you for a wonderful time.
