The Experience

Before You Go

Secure small electronics

Use a wrist strap or leave phones in the van — wind and speed can easily dislodge loose items.

Wear closed‑toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes make platform transitions and short hikes safer and more comfortable.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a bottle and drink ahead of the tour — tropical heat and adrenaline increase dehydration risk.

Ask about restrictions

Confirm age, weight and pregnancy restrictions when booking; guides enforce safety limits for each line.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small artisan stalls behind the port for carved souvenirs and local snacks
  • A short forest spur near the zipline offers quieter birdwatching and photos away from platforms

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas
  • Tropical hummingbirds

Conservation Note

The island borders the Mesoamerican Reef—respect local reef rules, avoid touching coral, and minimize single‑use plastics to reduce tourism impacts.

Roatán is the largest of Honduras' Bay Islands with a Caribbean colonial history influenced by British settlement and seafaring economies; fishing and market culture remain integral today.
