The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV trails are rocky and zipline platforms have ladder approaches—sturdy sneakers protect feet and grip pedals.

Bring a refillable water bottle

Hydrate before and during the tour—staff usually provide bottled water but a reusable bottle is eco-friendlier.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

You’ll end at a beach and possibly swim; choose mineral sunscreen to protect coral and marine life.

Disclose medical conditions

Inform staff of spinal, heart issues, or pregnancy—this tour isn’t recommended for those conditions and safety checks are enforced.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside fruit stands serving fresh coconut water and grilled plantain
  • A nearby limestone outlook that offers a quiet view of the western reef at low tide

Wildlife

  • Brown pelican
  • Howler monkey

Conservation Note

Operators often ask guests to use reef-safe products and avoid stepping on coral; limiting single-use plastics and staying on marked trails helps protect fragile island ecosystems.

Roatán has roots in Bay Islands history—former pirate hideouts and a Garífuna presence shaped local fishing and culinary traditions.
