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.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about small coastal viewpoints visible from the upper platforms—views of fringing reef are often overlooked.
  • Try the bean-to-bar chocolate sample at Mayak Chocolate for a uniquely local sweet that highlights Honduran cocoa varieties.

Wildlife

  • Two-toed sloth
  • Scarlet macaw

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.
