Float above coral gardens in a semi-submersible glass-bottom boat, then meet capuchin monkeys and sloths at a supervised hangout. This family-friendly Roatán combo pairs dry reef viewing with close-up wildlife moments and a beach break.

Stepping off the tender in Roatán, the air tastes of salt and mango; the semi-sub hull rests low in the water as the crew ushers you aboard. The cabin windows sit six feet below the surface, framing coral gardens that flicker like stained glass as the current pushes the vessel gently along the reef. Later, a shaded beach and a scrubby sanctuary puts capuchins and sloths within arm’s reach for calm, supervised encounters.
