Roatan Monkey & Sloth Park with Zipline and Cultural City Tour
Float through Roatán’s jungle canopy, meet rescued sloths and monkeys, then learn about local chocolate and rum in a compact three-hour tour. Expect short hikes, steep platforms and close wildlife encounters guided with an emphasis on safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails between platforms are uneven and can be muddy—sturdy sneakers or trail shoes improve traction and comfort.
Bring insect repellent
Mosquitoes are active in shaded, humid areas—treat clothing and exposed skin before the tour.
Hydrate before you go
Carry a small water bottle; the tour includes short breaks but limited time to buy drinks on-site.
Protect electronics
Use a secure zip or dry bag for cameras and phones—the zipline platform breeze can fling loose items.

Conservation Note
Many parks on Roatán focus on rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife and sustainable tourism; follow guide instructions to avoid disturbing animals and stick to marked paths to limit erosion.
Roatán’s modern settlements grew around colonial-era navigation and later timber and coconut economies; the island’s cultural mix reflects Garifuna, Creole and mestizo communities that shaped local traditions.
