The Experience

Before You Go

Listen during the safety briefing

Guides cover braking and body position — following instructions reduces abrupt stops and speeds up the day for everyone.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV sections and platform transfers require sturdy footwear with good grip.

Bring a small, secure camera

A wrist- or chest-mounted camera works best for hands-free zipline shots; phones are easy to drop.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Tropical heat plus adrenaline is dehydrating — drink water before the tour and between activities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at the ridge viewpoint for a wide-angle look at West Bay’s coral lines — fewer tourists linger here.
  • On quieter trail stretches look for native heliconias and small fruiting trees that draw parrots mid-morning.

Wildlife

  • Caribbean parrots
  • Three-toed sloths

Conservation Note

The tour supports local sanctuary efforts and highlights reef and forest conservation; stay on marked trails and follow guide instructions to minimize wildlife disturbance.

The Bay Islands have a mixed Garifuna, English and Spanish colonial history; modern tourism grew around the island’s coral reefs and secondary forests.
