Roatán Zipline & West Bay Beach Break — Eco-Park Canopy Tour
Fly nine ziplines and cross a suspension bridge through Roatán’s forest, then cool off on West Bay’s clear sand—this half‑day combines canopy thrills, wildlife viewing, and a classic Caribbean beach break.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive in light layers
Morning departures are cooler; wear breathable layers that won’t snag on harnesses.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
You’ll end the tour with a beach stop—use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect coral ecosystems.
Secure cameras
Use a wrist strap or chest mount for chest‑level photos—loose items are not allowed on ziplines.
Hydrate before you go
Drink water before boarding; canopy sections are active and humid, and the beach can be sunny and hot.

Conservation Note
The nearby reef is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—guides emphasize no‑touch reef etiquette and encourage reef‑safe sunscreens and minimal plastic use.
Roatán has a layered history of Garífuna and Bay Island Creole culture with Spanish and British colonial influence; fishing and small‑scale agriculture shaped early island life.
