Weight & Health Restrictions

Operators enforce weight and health limits for safety—declare height, weight and any injuries when booking.

Hydrate & Sun-Protect

Bring a reusable water bottle and apply reef-safe sunscreen before the tour; shade is limited at stops.

Footwear for Both Sections

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes that dry quickly—you'll want grip for tack and sand for beach photos.

Phone Protection

Use a small waterproof pouch for phones and a secure strap for zipline photos; phones can be dropped on both activities.

Conservation Note

Roatán borders the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—choose operators that use reef-safe sunscreen practices and responsible wildlife policies to reduce ecological impact.

The Bay Islands were historically influenced by indigenous Mesoamerican peoples, British colonial activity and Afro-Caribbean communities; cacao and rum workshops reflect local agricultural traditions.
