The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers provide grip on platforms and protect your feet during short hikes between lines.

Secure loose items

Use provided lockers or leave phones and hats in the van—items can fall while zipping at speed.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a refillable water bottle; tropical heat and harness straps make you sweat faster than you expect.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a swimsuit

Plan to swim at a nearby beach after the canopy—use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A tucked beach cove near the finish with shallow snorkeling and fewer tourists
  • Short forest trails behind the park that offer shaded birdwatching away from platforms

Wildlife

  • Capuchin monkey
  • Three-toed sloth

Conservation Note

Operators and guides often emphasize reef-safe practices and limited-footprint trails; visitors should use biodegradable sunscreen and avoid touching coral or wildlife.

Roatán’s modern economy shifted from fishing and small-scale agriculture to tourism in the late 20th century; canopy tours developed as low-footprint attractions tied to the island’s reef and forest appeal.
