The engine coughs, a cloud of dust rises and the Caribbean opens up around you: palms lean away from the track, scrubby limestone ridges give way to sandy beach striping the shore, and salt air tugs at your helmet strap. On this half-day ATV ride out of Coxen Hole, a private guide leads small groups across coastal tracks, low ridgelines and mangrove edges—every corner promising a new view of Roatán’s reef-fringed coastline.
