The morning light in Roatan hits the palms like a promise — humid air, the distant slap of reef against sand, and a narrow road that threads from mangrove to open beach. Your day begins at a small wildlife park where sloths lounge slowly and capuchins flit between branches; guides explain rescue and rehabilitation practices while you get a regulated, close view for photos.

Hydrate early and often
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and sip regularly — tropical heat and riding elevate sweat rates quickly.

ATV trails are rocky and can kick up debris; sturdy shoes protect feet during both horseback mounting and ATV riding.
