The Experience

Before You Go

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen

The beach and snorkel areas are fragile — choose reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply sparingly after water activities.

Closed‑toe shoes for ziplines and carts

Sturdy sneakers protect feet during zipline launches and while driving or riding in golf carts on uneven trails.

Hydrate before arrival

Tropical heat plus activity can deplete you — drink water beforehand and accept bottled water offered on tour.

Protect electronics

Bring a small waterproof pouch for phones and cameras; guides often allow quick photos but gear can get wet or sandy.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Mangrove edges near French Harbour — quiet birding and unique coastal plants
  • Lookouts on the Pristine Bay golf course for unobstructed reef and sunset views

Wildlife

  • Sloths
  • Spider monkeys

Conservation Note

Guides emphasize low‑impact tourism: stay on trails, use reef‑safe products, and support licensed sanctuaries that rehabilitate wildlife and fund local conservation.

The Bay Islands have a layered history of indigenous Lenca and Garifuna presence, English‑Caribbean settlement, and colonial trade that shaped island language and customs.

Common Questions

Is the sloth encounter ethical?

Yes — the experience is held at a government‑approved sanctuary where animals live in more natural, uncaged settings and interactions are supervised by staff focused on welfare and education.

Can children participate?

The tour is family‑friendly and accepts ages 2–80; however, minimum age to drive a golf cart is 16 with a full license and ziplines may have specific weight or height checks.

Are transfers provided from cruise ships?

Cruise passengers must provide ship and docking details at booking; the tour operates to align with common ship schedules but confirm disembarkation windows when booking.

What should I avoid during snorkeling?

Don’t touch coral, don’t feed fish, and avoid non‑reef‑safe sunscreens to protect the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
