The Experience

Before You Go

Secure small items

Use zippered pockets or a small dry bag — loose phones or hats can be lost on the lines.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Humidity makes exertion feel harder; bring a reusable water bottle and sip frequently between platforms.

Footwear matters

Closed-toe shoes with good tread are required for safe launches and short trail sections.

Respect wildlife

Observe sloths and monkeys from the guide-designated areas and avoid feeding or touching them.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Photograph the island from the highest viewpoint in the eco-park at sunset for clean lines and soft light
  • Stroll a short side path near the chocolate factory to find local kiosks selling fresh coconut water and handmade cacao truffles

Wildlife

  • Three-toed sloth
  • Green iguana

Conservation Note

The tour operates near sensitive reef and forest habitats — opt for operators who limit visitor impact, avoid touching wildlife, and support local conservation fees or programs.

Roatán is one of Honduras’s Bay Islands with a mixed Garifuna and Anglo-Caribbean heritage; the islands were contested by European powers and developed into fishing and tourism hubs.
