These are some of the reviews left by our new birdwatcher friends:
Garrett Roen2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife is a nature nut and wanted to do bird watching and herping and Joel was the dude. Sure, I'm more of an indoor sorta guy but I never was a third wheel on the adventure. We went all over the place for over 5 hours to find 3 types of snakes, multiple reptiles, and numerous birds. Joel has amazing English skills and the guy should be running a nature center with his level of knowledge. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and just as curious about nature as my wife so it was the perfect night. Highly, highly recommend.

It's much more than just bird watching. Joel shares his extensive knowledge of the natural world here, including the flora and fauna that inhabit Roatan...as well as the history and culture of his home environment. We identified about 40 different species of birds as we traveled from area to area and while I have seen many of these in my area of Florida, it was wonderful to see them in the unique habitat of the Island. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Joel and learned so much from him. I recommend that anyone who visits Roatan...even if you're not a birder...take one of Joel's tours. You are going to leave much richer for it and will be inspired by his passion and reverence for nature. Jim McCollum2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enjoyed a wonderful day on Roatan. Joel is a very knowledgeable bird guide with an intimate understanding of the island. I highly recommend him for any birding, bird photography or nature tours on Roatan. Mara Owens2025-05-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly unique adventure! What a great tour with Joel. Loving here on Roatan one can become quite jaded about yours but this truly was a completely different kind of tour. Booked as a birding tour what I didn’t expect was the historical narrative, the lessons on the flora including the symbiotic relationships with the plants and insects, the amphibian and lizard facts and the natural medicine lessons. So many great places to see the different birds…all right here. We got to see over 40 different species of birds and learn so much more about their habitats, migrations and “lifestyle”. I would go back in a heartbeat!!! Thank you Joel! Thomas Witt2025-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joel is an expert guide and birder hands down. He drove me around the island for four hours and showed me a number of different sites high and low. Highlight was a Potoo mother and brand new chick perched on a branch. He is also super knowledgeable about other creatures and plants. He is a naturalist to the core and a nice person to spend time with as well. Go bird with Joel! Tim Johnson2025-03-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joel is an outstanding birding guide who knows the flora and fauna of Roatan (an including the island and mainland birds) and the best birding hotspots. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Joy Ely2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joel was great! He picked me up at the crack of dawn and drove us to a variety of areas in the west end of the island. He was very knowledgeable in identifying the birds, fauna and wildlife.It was a pleasure birding with him and I look forward to meeting up with him again for another birdwatching trip. I meet up again with Joel this year (Feb 2025). We did a 3 day trip to the mainland Honduras. It was amazing. We saw or heard a total of 123 species. Many of them lifers for me. Joel arranged everything and I was not disappointed. Driving from La Ceiba to Yojoa Lake and back I got to see a lot of the area plus met some wonderful people. It was an experience of a life time that I will never forget. Flora Phile2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Terrific day of birding with Joel at Birdwatching Roatan. I wished to see as many birds and habitats as possible and enjoy some local cuisine and Joel delivered. We were worried about logistics, as we were arriving by cruise ship, but communication and planning was exceptional on his part, enabling us to maximize birding time and still enjoy beautiful vistas and local culture. Melissa Threadgill2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joel is a very friendly and interesting guy, and we really enjoyed spending a morning with him looking for birds and other critters and seeing the beauty of the island. He is very knowledgeable about animal/plant life and the island in general. Lynne Gilliland Garber2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great outing with Joel! He has deep knowledge about birds as well as things in the forest. We realized that the forest in Roatan is as precious and beautiful as the reefs. We highly recommend an outing with JoelLoad more
