East End Tiki Boat wins Tripadvisor citation

July 10, 2024

Take a trip on the award-winning Tiki Boat

A variety of experiences


ONE OF THE MANY ACTIVITIES FOR VISITORS TO ENJOY on Roatan’s funky and fun East End is the Tiki Boat. This fun and goofy boat offers tourists a variety of experiences, from sunset dinner cruises to daylong boating and snorkeling adventures. 


And, it was just announced, the Tiki Boat has been honored with a
Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Award. And, after just one look at the reviews, you’ll see why. 


“Don’t miss this if you are in Roatan!” reported one reviewer who gave the Tiki Boat experience
a 5-star rating. “This is one of the best excursions I have been on in the Caribbean. First, there is the boat. It’s like a really large pontoon boat with a built-in tiki bar, snacks, and great music. Second are all the fun stops. We had a really good snorkeling stop which was right by the reef wall. You could hang out in the 20 to 30-foot depths or swim over to the wall and see the 200-foot drop-off.”


Book directly with the Villa



The Tiki Boat is an adventure pass to much of the East End. It’s a great way to see this quiet corner of Roatan, all while enjoying cocktails, music and learning a bit of the East End’s unique history, which stretches back more than 500 years


Operated by local entrepreneur Abrian Campbell, who also offers tours of the East End’s incredible mangrove mazes carved by pirates and privateers centuries ago, the Tiki Boat offerings give visitors a “cheat code” to Roatan — from its ample deck, cocktail in hand, you can literally see most of the East End.


Add it snorkeling stops or a very unique opportunity to swim with lemon sharks at Pigeon Cay, and it’s no wonder the Tiki Boat is considered a “must-see” attraction for guests staying at
Ocean Breeze Villa


And, of course, guests at the Villa need only take a few steps out of the main house to the dock on the lagoon, where they’ll meet the boat. Once on board, the rum and beer starts to flow and the music kicks up. If you were struggling to find that “vacation vibe,” you’ll be struggling no more. 


We can help with other attractions, too


You can book any number of tours from Ocean Breeze Villa. The East End is definitely more authentic and less “tourist” than the West End, but, without much effort at all, you’ll be able to find something to do that will keep you entertained. From guided fishing and diving, visits to the local iguana farm or the sloth and monkey rescue center, adventure is literally just a short boat ride or taxi ride away.


And, as always, no resort wristbands required!

When Is the Best Time to Visit Roatán?
By Chris McBride February 25, 2026
When planning a vacation to Roatán, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is where to stay. Should you book a large all-inclusive resort or choose a smaller, boutique villa experience? While big resorts may seem convenient, many travelers are discovering that staying at a boutique villa offers a more relaxed, personal, and authentic way to experience the island. Here’s why. 1. Peace and Privacy Matter Large resorts often mean: Crowded pools Buffet lines Busy beach areas Loud entertainment schedules If you’re traveling to Roatán to relax, constant noise and crowds can take away from the experience. A boutique villa like Ocean Breeze Villa offers something different — a quiet atmosphere, fewer guests, and space to truly unwind. Instead of competing for lounge chairs, you enjoy calm surroundings and uninterrupted ocean views.
