The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes

Wear sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes for ATV trails and zipline platforms to protect toes and provide grip.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply biodegradable sunscreen before snorkeling or beach time to protect coral; reapply after water exposure.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Bring a refillable water bottle and sip regularly—heat and activity can sneak up during back-to-back experiences.

Bring a small dry bag

Protect phone, keys, and camera from dust and spray while riding ATVs or during beach time.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Gumbalimba Park trails and botanical garden for quieter wildlife viewing
  • Small Garifuna coastal viewpoints near Punta Gorda for authentic village scenes and fresh coconuts

Conservation Note

Reef and sloth conservation are active priorities—use reef-safe products, avoid touching coral or wildlife, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

The Bay Islands carry a mixed heritage of Garifuna and British colonial influence; fishing and small-scale coconut farming shaped local communities before tourism expanded.
