The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate Before and After

Bring a 1L refillable bottle and drink before you start—the tropical humidity depletes energy quickly.

Shoes for Platforms

Closed‑toe shoes with a good grip make scrambling on platforms and trails safer and more comfortable.

Protect Marine Life

Use reef‑safe sunscreen if you plan to swim at West Bay to reduce chemical impact on coral.

Keep Distance from Wildlife

Let guides handle interactions; avoid feeding animals to prevent stress or aggressive behavior.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small viewpoint near the park with a view down the reef slope—great for photos of the drop‑off.
  • Coxen’s Cave murals and the hanging bridge over the fishing pond—often quieter early morning.

Wildlife

  • White‑faced capuchin monkeys (friendly and curious)
  • Tropical parrots and other free‑flying exotic birds

Conservation Note

The park participates in habitat preservation—visitors should avoid feeding wildlife, use reef‑safe products at the beach, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Coxen’s Cave and local folklore reference Roatán’s history of privateers and early colonial contact; the island’s coastal villages reflect Garífuna and Honduran influences.
