The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Secure, closed-toe shoes are required for platforms and short trail sections between ziplines.

Hydrate before and during

Bring a refillable water bottle; tropical humidity and adrenaline increase your hydration needs.

Use a camera tether

Cameras and phones should be tethered—staff may prohibit loose devices on higher lines.

Morning bookings prefered

Early departures are cooler, less windy, and improve chances of active wildlife sightings.

Conservation Note

The operator partners with an eco-park — visitors are asked to follow no-feed rules and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce impacts on nearby coral and forest habitats.

Roatán and the Bay Islands blend Afro-Caribbean, British and indigenous influences; cacao cultivation has been part of Honduran rural economies for generations.
