King Kong Extreme Zipline & Hike with Sol y Mar Beach Break — Roatán Adventure
Ascend the limestone ridge above Coxen Hole, fly across canopy lines with sweeping Caribbean views, then trade adrenaline for a calm beach break at Sol y Mar. This combined hike, zipline and beach day pairs local guiding with easy transfers from port or resort.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Trail to the ridge is uneven and can be slippery after rain; closed-toe hiking shoes or trail runners protect ankles and grip roots and rock.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Four hours in tropical heat means you’ll need 1–1.5 liters of water; guides may offer water but carry your own to stay hydrated.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll finish at Sol y Mar beach — protect coral by choosing mineral-based sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Check pickup details and timing
Operators pick up from port or resorts; confirm exact pickup point and whether you need to show ID or cruise documents to avoid delays.
