Dear Bodden Tours Customers,

As the world faces the COVID-19 pandemic, and cruise lines canceling any trips. Our company is committed to continue to help each one of our employees. But there is only so much that we can do, WE NEED OUR BODDEN TOURS FAMILY to help us support our staff and animal sanctuary during this critical time.

With no further notice of when cruise lines will be able to return to our beautiful island, and tourism being the main source of economic entry. We are worried for our staff as they heavily depend on your visits to our site and island. We would appreciate any donations that can help us continue to monthly supply our employees with food for the next couple of months or until we are able to return to business.


All donations will go toward our hardworking employees and our beautiful zoo. All donors will be given a special Thank You Gift Kit on their next trip to Roatan. We can't wait to be able to see our Bodden Tours family!

STAY SAFE and THANK YOU!
