Extreme Zip Line and Horseback Adventure at Mahogany Bay, Roatán
Ride a horse into Caribbean shallows at a recognized turtle breeding ground, then climb Crooked Mountain for ziplines up to 1,600 feet that cross Roatán’s only saltwater lagoon. This combo pairs relaxed coastal riding with high‑adrenaline canopy flight.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Less is more near coral — use reef‑safe SPF and reapply before heading back into the water.

Hydrate before the climb
The ascent and zipline towers are exposed; drink water beforehand and carry a small bottle if allowed.
Mind weight and health limits
Operators enforce weight, pregnancy and cardiac restrictions — check requirements when booking.

Roatán’s Bay Islands have a layered past of indigenous and Garífuna presence and colonial contest; the islands evolved from fishing outposts into a tourism hub tied to their reefs.
