There are lots of different vacation styles- some people just want to relax in a lounger with an umbrella drink, and others want every day to be action packed. If you’d like to do some activities around Roatan, here’s how you can make sure you’re ready.
Ziplining: make sure to pack shoes that won’t fall off your feet as you’re zipping through the jungle! If you were only planning on bringing flip-flops, you might want to toss in a sturdier pair of sandals that have straps, or a pair of running shoes.
Snorkeling: the sun is hotter than it feels! When you’re in the water, you don’t feel the sun’s heat as much, the sun gets reflected on the water, and there’s so much to see that you lose track of time. The best defense is to keep on a t-shirt or a rash guard, so that you don’t end up in pain later on.
Diving: are you already certified? If so, make sure to find your certification card and bring it along. The dive shop can usually look up your certification on-line if you’ve misplaced it. If you’re planning to try diving for the first time, a medical questionnaire will need to be completed, and if there are any medical conditions indicated, you’ll need a doctor’s clearance before getting wet.
Horseback riding: make sure to pack appropriate clothing/footwear if this is on your list of activities to try.
Touring the island: planning on renting a car? Don’t forget your drivers’ licence, you won’t be able to rent without one!
The weather is normally warm all year round, and dress is casual, so the rest of your packing won’t take up much space. If you’re not sure what activities are on the island, check out our A-Z guide on our website: http://barefootcay.com/resort/activities/
