The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

ATV terrain and zipline platforms demand sturdy sneakers or boots — flip-flops are not permitted.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

You’ll have sun exposure during transit and photo stops; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral reefs.

Hydrate before and during the tour

Carry a refillable bottle — operators stop for short breaks but limited drinking water may be provided.

Disclose health and weight accurately

Operators require height/weight and health info; honest disclosure ensures safety and avoids last-minute denial.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Unmarked interior ridge viewpoints for quick coastline panoramas
  • Small local rum distilleries and artisan chocolate makers near Coxen Hole

Wildlife

  • Two‑toed sloth
  • Howler monkey

Conservation Note

The island depends on reef tourism—use reef‑safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral or wildlife, and follow guide rules to minimize impact.

Roatán’s Bay Islands blend Garifuna and Mestizo culture with a history of colonial shipping and privateering; local markets still reflect those layered influences.
