Roatan Sloth ATV, Zipline & Private Beach Adventure

The Experience
Before You Go
Book Port Pickup
Choose the included round-trip port transfer to avoid coordinating local taxis and ensure timely arrival for the ATV safety briefing.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails are rocky and can be muddy; sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet during the buggy and short jungle walks.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before snorkeling or beach time to protect coral and marine life.
Hydrate and pack light
Bring a reusable water bottle and a small waterproof bag for valuables — guides supply bottled water onboard by request.
