Zip Through the Jungle: A Heart-Pounding Adventure
March in Roatan is the perfect time to embrace the warmth and adventure of the Bay Islands. With clear skies and a warm breeze, the conditions are ideal for an adrenaline-fueled day of exploration. Start your weekend with the Zip Line Adventure on March 8th, where you can soar through the jungle canopy on 16 different lines, jumping off 24 platforms and crossing three suspension bridges. Feel the rush of wind against your face as you channel your inner Spiderman, leaping from platform to platform. The high UV index means you’ll want to slather on sunscreen, but the thrill of the ride will keep you cool.
After your zip line adventure, take a moment to catch your breath and visit the animal sanctuary. Here, you’ll meet sloths, capuchin monkeys, and vibrant macaws. It’s a chance to connect with nature and learn about the island’s unique wildlife. As the day progresses, head to the Hamilton Ranch for a horseback ride along natural and mangrove trails. The refreshing breeze will accompany you as you venture into the water, offering a unique perspective of the island’s beauty. Conclude your day with a snorkeling adventure at West Bay Point, where the vibrant marine life and colorful coral await your exploration.
“This was hands-down the best excursion of our western Caribbean cruise. Our guide was fantastic at customizing the day to suit us perfectly. We got to do so much—jungle ziplining, visiting a sloth and monkey sanctuary, horseback riding, snorkeling, spending time at the beach, and snapping a picture at the iconic Roatan landmark.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-07
