The Experience

Before You Go

Dress for movement

Wear lightweight, quick-dry clothing and secure closed-toe shoes; avoid bulky jeans to keep harnesses comfortable.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a refillable bottle — guides provide one complementary water bottle but you’ll sweat through the canopy sections.

Protect electronics

Use a waterproof pouch or an inexpensive chest-mounted camera; phones should be tethered if used on platforms.

Plan port timing

If arriving by cruise, allow extra time for embarkation/shore excursions; pickups are scheduled 20 minutes before departure.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small beachfront restaurants near West Bay for fresh fish tacos after your swim
  • A short walk from the beach to a local craft stand where artisans sell woven baskets and sea-glass jewelry

Wildlife

  • Roatán motmot (colorful forest bird)
  • Green iguana basking on trunks and rocks

Conservation Note

Roatán’s reefs are sensitive — choose operators that promote reef-safe sunscreen and limit shore-side disturbance; support local businesses that contribute to reef protection.

The Bay Islands were historically a crossroads of Garifuna and colonial influences; logging and reef fishing shaped both settlement patterns and local livelihoods.
