A morning on Roatán begins with a cool, salty breath off the Caribbean and a private van easing through Coxen Hole toward a pocket of lowland forest. Guides open the door to the island’s quieter side: an eco-park where rescued and resident animals move at their own pace — sloths clinging to branches, macaws calling overhead, and small primates darting through canopy edges — before the day ends at West Bay’s clear shallows.
