Roatán Eco Walk & West Bay Beach Combo — Jungle Suspension Bridges to Caribbean Sand
Walk seven steel suspension bridges through 30 acres of island jungle, then trade canopy views for three hours on West Bay’s famed white-sand beach. This combo pairs low-impact wildlife viewing with a relaxed Caribbean beach break.
The Experience
Before You Go
Choose sturdy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes or trail sneakers protect your feet on steel grates and uneven jungle paths.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll spend hours at the beach after the walk — choose mineral sunscreen to protect the reef and your skin.
Hydrate before and during
Carry a reusable water bottle; tropical humidity and sun can dehydrate you faster than you expect.
Pack a lightweight rain jacket
Quick tropical showers are common — a compact shell keeps cameras and gear dry during a short downpour.
