You step out of the air-conditioned shuttle into humid, green air and the island rearranges itself around you: palms scrape the sky, vines thread between trunks, and the slope falls away toward the sea. The Roatán canopy tour launches from a steep mountainside on the island’s western flank, where zip cables string through primary tropical forest and wildlife—monkeys, sloths, macaws—peep and shuffle just above your line.
