Roatan Zipline and Snorkeling Tour: King Kong & Two Reef Stops
Take adventure above and below the Caribbean on our Roatan zipline and snorkeling tour. Begin with the King Kong Extreme Zipline through tropical jungle, then head toward West Bay for a private pontoon excursion with two planned coral reef snorkeling stops. It's an exciting combination for cruise passengers and guests staying on Roatán who want an active island experience in approximately four hours.
The advertised King Kong course features 11 zipline runs, including a Superman-style section; the exact course and each guest's participation depend on safety rules and operating conditions. Later, explore the reef with provided snorkeling equipment, flotation gear and crew guidance. Marine life, visibility and individual reef stops can vary, and no wildlife sightings are guaranteed.
Your group has private round-trip, air-conditioned ground transportation with a bilingual local guide and a pontoon reserved for your party. The zipline attraction and reef environment are shared spaces. The published starting price is US$105 per person, minimum two participants; additional activities are optional and not part of the base package.

Estimated duration: about 4 hours, including ground transfers. The order of activities and time at each stop may change because of your ship schedule, weather, traffic or operator safety decisions.
Private pickup at your port or accommodation
Your bilingual Roatán Exclusive guide meets your group at the confirmed pickup point. Travel in an air-conditioned private vehicle toward the zipline location. We confirm cruise terminal and local pickup time with your booking.
King Kong Extreme Zipline adventure
After the operator's briefing and equipment fitting, experience the advertised jungle zipline course. It features 11 runs, including a Superman-style experience, where permitted by the operator's current rules. Your instructors control the route and safety procedures.
Transfer toward West Bay and meet your boat crew
Continue to the boat departure area, where your private pontoon and crew prepare for the reef outing. Tell the crew about swimming experience, children's ages and any concerns before entering the water.
First guided reef snorkeling stop
Explore one of the two planned snorkeling locations selected by the captain for the day's sea conditions. Enjoy coral scenery and look for tropical reef fish while keeping a respectful distance from marine life.
Second guided reef snorkeling stop
Visit another suitable reef area, weather and conditions permitting. Specific sites and underwater visibility are not guaranteed; the captain may substitute locations or shorten water time when safety requires it.
Refreshments and private return transfer
Enjoy the included bottled water, sodas and fruit, then return by private transport to the agreed cruise-port meeting area or accommodation within the confirmed schedule.
Please note: A Paradise Beach Resort day pass, swimming pool access and wildlife sanctuary admission are not part of this particular tour unless purchased and confirmed as extras. For ATV + zipline + wildlife + an included resort day pass, compare our separate combo tour below.

Port of Roatán — Coxen Hole
Exit the terminal through gate 1 and follow your confirmation's directions toward the independent tour meeting area. Look for the Roatán Exclusive sign. Your confirmed instructions take priority if terminal arrangements change.
Isla Tropicale / Mahogany Bay
The independent operator pickup area is outside the cruise terminal, a walk of approximately a quarter mile from the main exit. We send detailed directions before your visit. Contact us beforehand if anyone in your party has difficulty walking to the meeting point.
Hotels, resorts and vacation rentals
Provide your accommodation's name and location when booking. We will coordinate the pickup and return arrangements with your group, using Roatán local time (UTC−6).
Cruise timing matters: We generally arrange pickup around one hour after docking and plan to return guests to the port at least 90 minutes before scheduled ship departure. We confirm this tour only when the available port window makes the itinerary practical. The cruise line is not required to wait for independent tour guests, so always share your all-aboard time.
Safety, eligibility & what to bringZipline rules · Water confidence · Reef protection
- Zipline eligibility: Minimum age, maximum weight, harness fit, health and footwear requirements are established by the activity operator. Check with us before booking if a child or another participant may be close to an eligibility limit. The advertised Superman-style run is subject to operator approval.
- Snorkeling confidence: Tell the captain and guides if anyone is a first-timer or uncomfortable swimming in open water. Flotation equipment is supplied, but it does not eliminate risk. Water entry is subject to the crew's safety assessment.
- Bring: Closed-toe shoes for ziplining, swimsuit, towel, dry clothes, sun protection and a waterproof pouch for a phone or camera. Secure loose items before the zipline and boat portions.
- At sea: Weather, visibility and currents change. Follow the captain's instructions; reef site choices and time in the water may change or activities may be canceled for safety.
- Protect Roatán's reef: Do not touch or stand on coral, remove natural objects or chase wildlife. Give coral room when using fins and keep litter on the boat.
- Children and nonparticipants: This combination is not automatically suitable for every age or mobility level. Contact our team with relevant needs so we can check permitted participation and discuss alternatives before you pay.
