The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes with good traction — platforms and bridges can be slick after rain.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply mineral or reef-safe sunscreen before arrival to protect local coral ecosystems.

Secure small electronics

Bring a small dry bag or strap for phones and cameras; follow guide instructions about when to shoot.

Watch your footing on bridges

Slow down on narrow suspension bridges and hold the handrails — motion and wet boards can unbalance you.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • West Bay Beach snorkeling sites a short drive away for a post-tour swim
  • Small coastal viewpoints near the park offer low-key sunset vistas away from busy beaches

Wildlife

  • Hummingbirds
  • Iguanas

Conservation Note

The Mesoamerican Reef faces pressure from sunscreen runoff and coastal development; choose reef-safe products and stay on marked trails to reduce erosion and habitat disturbance.

The Bay Islands were contested by Spanish and British colonial powers and developed a distinct English-speaking Creole culture alongside Garifuna and Honduran influences.
