Roatán Mega Excursion: Zipline, Village Tour, Chocolate & Beach Break
Combine culture, cocoa and a rush of canopy lines in one compact Roatán excursion. This half-day tour pairs a village drive and factory visits with one of the island’s best ziplines and a white-sand beach stop.

Sturdy sneakers protect your feet on platforms and short forest approaches at the zipline site.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use chemical-free sunscreen for beach time to protect the coral reef and marine life.
