More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You transfer from an air-conditioned van into the green rib of Roatán, palms leaning like spectators as you climb toward the ridgeline. The forest tightens around a web of cables and platforms; the first zipline launches you over layered canopy and the island’s long, low silhouette to the reef beyond. Later the engine-hum of ATVs carries you up narrow dirt lanes, surfacing to views of the Caribbean that seem to push you forward.
