Roatán Zip-n-Dip: Canopy Zipline, Sloths & West Bay Beach Adventure
Fly above jungle ridges, meet sloths and capuchin monkeys at an on-site sanctuary, then unwind on West Bay Beach with a resort day-pass. This combined zipline-and-beach day on Roatán pairs adrenaline with easy coastal time.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate & Snack Up
Bring a full water bottle and a light snack—tropical heat and adrenaline work together to deplete energy quickly.
Check Harness Fit & Weight Limits
Maximum weight is 295 lb; guests who can’t fit harnesses are offered a Skip-the-Zip option—ask guides early to avoid delays.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Platform approaches and short trail sections are uneven; sturdy shoes protect your feet and improve safety on launches and landings.
Timing for Cruise Guests
If arriving by ship, confirm pickup/drop-off times—port schedules dictate how long you’ll have on West Bay Beach.
