Roatan Zipline Adventure & Beach Break with Goodman's Tours

Summary

Zipline Thrills and Relaxing Beach Time in Roatan

You’ll get your adrenaline fix on Roatan’s best family zipline course—twelve lines through real jungle—then wind down at West Bay Beach with time to relax or explore. Guides are friendly and safety-focused, making it great for groups or families looking for fun and chill time in one day.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the thick, sweet smell of the jungle as we pulled up to Goodman's zipline park. Our guide, Luis, handed out helmets and harnesses—he double-checked every buckle before we hopped in the van for a short drive up a bumpy hillside road. At the top, you can see all the way down to West Bay Beach, sunlight flickering through the trees. The air felt warm but not too sticky—perfect for flying through the canopy.

I’ll admit, my hands were sweaty as I climbed those stone steps to the first platform, about 300 feet up. Luis cracked a joke about “jungle elevators” and pointed out a bright green lizard sunning itself nearby. The first zip is short—just enough to get your heart going—but by the third or fourth line, you’re gliding over open meadows and catching glimpses of parrots darting between branches. The longest run stretches out forever (well, 1,250 feet), and you really do feel like you’re soaring from one hilltop to another.

After twelve zips and two wobbly suspension bridges (don’t look down if you’re nervous!), we traded our gear for flip-flops and headed to West Bay Beach. There’s plenty of space to stretch out on a beach chair or wander along the water’s edge. I grabbed a cold soda from a little stand called Tía Rosa’s—she always has fresh coconut water too. If you want a massage or something extra, just ask your driver; they seem to know everyone here. It’s an easygoing spot where families hang out and kids chase tiny crabs near the shore.
