Roatán Extreme Day: Zipline, ATVs, Wildlife Sanctuary & Local Lunch
One action-packed day on Roatán moves from canopy ziplines and ATV trails to a wildlife sanctuary visit and local lunch, with a snorkeling stop along the reef. Expect 4–5 hours of varied terrain, hands-on culture, and clear opportunities to photograph island life.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate Before You Start
Bring at least 1.5 liters of water and sip frequently—tropical heat plus activity dehydrates fast.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes for ATVs
Sturdy trainers or trail shoes protect your feet on muddy, rocky tracks—no flip-flops during the ride.
Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before entering the water to protect coral and marine life.
Bring a Small Dry Bag
Keep phone, money, and a light layer dry during snorkeling and ATV sections.

Conservation Note
The reef is sensitive—choose reef-safe products and avoid touching corals; support sanctuaries that prioritize rescue and rehabilitation over handling wildlife.
Roatán’s population reflects English-speaking islander and Afro-Caribbean roots alongside Honduran culture; the Bay Islands were historically contested in colonial eras and grew through maritime trade.
