Roatan Mega Excursion: Zipline Canopy, Sloths, Chocolate & Beach Club
Fly above Roatan’s canopy, meet sloths and monkeys, taste island-made chocolate and rum cake, then relax at a beach club—all in one five-hour shore excursion with round-trip transport. Practical tips on what to wear, what to expect, and how to time your cruise stop.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Canopy platforms and short park trails have uneven surfaces—closed-toe shoes will keep your feet protected during ziplines and walks.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll be exposed on the ziplines and at the beach club—choose reef-safe SPF to protect marine life off Roatan’s fringing reef.
Carry small bills for souvenirs and tastings
Chocolate and rum cake producers often accept cash and you’ll want to sample or buy artisan products on site.
Confirm cruise times with your operator
Port pickup is included but provide ship name and disembarkation time at booking to avoid missed transfers.
