The Experience

Before You Go

Wear durable footwear

Closed-toe shoes with good tread protect feet during ATV sections and provide grip on zipline platforms.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Apply and reapply reef-safe SPF before swimming to protect coral and your skin in tropical sun.

Secure electronics

Use a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras during buggies and beach time.

Hydrate and pace

Carry water and sip between activities; heat and adrenaline can lead to quick fatigue on combo excursions.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Secret Well — traditional washing site offering a glimpse into local daily life
  • Hilltop lookouts near the buggy trails with panoramic ocean views, often uncrowded

Wildlife

  • Two-toed sloth
  • Spider monkey

Conservation Note

Mayan Eden emphasizes rescue and rehabilitation; visitors are encouraged to follow guidelines to reduce disturbance and support reef-friendly practices like using biodegradable sunblock.

The Bay Islands have a mixed coastal heritage shaped by Garifuna and British colonial influences; the islands’ reef-rich shores have long sustained local fishing and seafaring cultures.
