The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

Sturdy, grippy shoes protect your feet during buggy sections and while walking in the eco-park.

Sun protection is a must

Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses matter—Caribbean sun reflects off sand and metal surfaces.

Hydrate before and during

You’ll be active in warm weather; carry water and drink regularly even if a bottle is provided.

Follow the guide’s safety briefing

Drivers and riders should listen closely to handling and zipline instructions to avoid accidents.

Conservation Note

The Bay Islands protect reef and coastal habitats through marine parks and local initiatives; visitors should avoid touching wildlife and follow park rules to minimize impact.

Roatán’s culture reflects Garifuna and Creole influences alongside colonial shipping history; the island’s villages grew around fishing and boatbuilding traditions.
