The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a reusable water bottle

Hydration stations may be limited—carry at least 1 liter of water to avoid dehydration in the tropical heat.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Platforms and short hikes include stairs and uneven terrain; trail runners or hiking shoes will keep you secure.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

You’ll likely visit coastal viewpoints; choose biodegradable sunscreen to reduce harm to nearby coral reefs.

Tell guides about health issues

Disclose any spinal, heart, or pregnancy concerns before the tour; certain conditions are not permitted for safety.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Tropical seabirds like frigatebirds

Conservation Note

Operators often emphasize reef-friendly practices and rescue-center education; visitors should avoid single-use plastics and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce local environmental impacts.

Roatan and the Bay Islands have a mixed heritage of Garifuna, British colonial and Spanish influences; the reefs historically supported local fishing communities and shaped settlement patterns.
