The Roatan Canopy Tours in West Bay and French Harbor are an adventure the whole family will enjoy!  The Canopy in West Bay has 11 platforms throughout the guided tour.  There are two cable systems for your choice: Beginner, and Thrill Seeker!  Glide away down the mountain top straight to a sand beach.  After you get there pick up your snorkel gear  and head right on to a relaxing day at the BEACH at Tabyana Beach or Half Moon Bay.

 
 

Both offer you shallow water to observe the coral reef and fish and marine life just feet from the shore.  This area allows beginner snorkelers of any age to feel confident and in charge.  The sand is beautiful and fun to dig and sculpture in.  Kids can run and play along the beach and catch the ice-cream man for treat ! 

 
 

The Canopy in French Harbor has a 20 platform guided tour, swinging bridges, and a climbing wall!  This adventure tour glides you right into Palmetto Bay.  The white sand beaches are an immediate attraction and promise loads of fun.

 
 

Both tours provide safe mountain climbing equipment and a harness.  Sneakers, or back strap sandals are required. Very reasonable rates!
