What a Roatan ATV tour is
An ATV tour here is a guided ride on a quad bike, or a dune buggy, along dirt roads and
hill tracks, with a guide riding ahead. It is never the whole day. Every ATV tour here pairs
the ride with a sloth and monkey sanctuary, and two add tastings, a zipline or a beach.
You are driven from the port to the ATV park, given a helmet and a short briefing, and
ride in a line behind the guide. The private day gives you an hour on the ATV, and the buggy
day 1 hour 15 minutes for the zipline and the buggies together.
Why choose an ATV tour
You drive, rather than being driven
Most island days are spent in a van between stops. On an ATV you steer through the hills
and the villages yourself, which is the point for most people who book one.
You see the inland island
The ride goes where the tour vans do not: rural villages, jungle dirt roads and the hills
above the coast. One traveller on the wildlife and ATV day rode through rural parts and a
village.
The sanctuary is always in the fare
Every ATV day here puts a sloth and monkey sanctuary in the fare, so there is no entry to
pay when you get there.
It fills the adrenaline gap
If a beach day sounds too slow, the buggy day adds 12 zips on a canopy line. It is the
longest ATV day, at five to five and a half hours.
ATV tours vs zipline tours
ATV or zipline is the usual adrenaline choice, and people weigh one against the other. Here is how
they compare, from the listings' own terms.
| An ATV day | A zipline day |
|---|
| What you do | Drive an ATV or buggy on dirt tracks | Clip in and glide between platforms |
| Youngest age | Drivers 16 with a full licence, on one day | 5, on the zipline and West Bay day |
| Weight limit | Not printed | 295 lb on one course |
| Group size | Up to 14 or 50; your group alone on the private day | Up to 100 on one |
| Also in the fare | A sanctuary on all; tastings or a beach on some | A sanctuary and a beach |
| Fare, per person | $119 to $163 | $69 to $75 |
Check the ATV day from $119
Can't choose? The buggy day does both, with 12 zips and a buggy ride in one fare, at
$163. The zipline days, with a sanctuary and a beach, are compared in our
ATV or zipline post.
What you get, and what you don't
- In the fare: the ride, a guide, and transport from the port or your
hotel. The buggy day adds helmets, bandanas, the zipline gear and one beer or soda.
- Also included: a sanctuary on every one. The private day adds chocolate
and rum tastings, and the buggy day two hours at a private beach club.
- Not in the fare: lunch and drinks, which are sold on the day, and tips.
The wildlife day's beach break is optional.
- A vehicle each: not promised. One family of four were given two ATVs to
share, not the three they expected.
Zipline, buggy and a beach club in one day
Twelve zips, an ATV dune buggy ride, a sanctuary and two hours at a private beach club, for up to 14 guests. Drivers must be 16 with a full licence.

Planning an ATV tour
- Budget: $119 to $163 a person. The private day is dearer
than the group day but includes the tastings and every fee.
- Time: four hours for the private day, four to five for the wildlife day,
and five to five and a half for the buggy day. Its pickup is 90 minutes after docking.
- Wear: closed shoes and clothes you do not mind muddying. Bring a bandana
for the dust, sunglasses and water.
- Ask: whether a teenager may drive, and how many vehicles your group gets.
Every fare refunds in full up to 24 hours ahead.
Travelling with children? The age rules for every tour are in our guide for families. What each fare
leaves out is in the guide to prices and fees.
Who should choose something else
- If you are pregnant or have back problems. The ATV listings say they are
not recommended for you. A sanctuary and beach day is the gentler version.
- If your teenager is under 16 and wants to drive. The buggy day will not
let them. Ask the others first, or book a zipline.
- If you came for the reef. No ATV day includes a snorkel. Compare
Roatan snorkeling tours instead.
- If you want a whole afternoon on the sand. A zipline and West Bay day
gives you about three hours on a resort day pass.

Frequently asked questions
ATV or zipline: which suits me?
An ATV day means driving dirt tracks, and one listing requires the driver to be 16 with a full licence. A zipline takes children from age 5 on one listing, with a weight limit.
Do I need a driving licence for an ATV tour?
On the buggy and zipline day, yes: drivers must be 16 with a full driving licence. The other ATV listings do not print a driving age, so ask before you book if a teenager wants to drive.
What should I wear on an ATV tour?
Clothes you do not mind getting muddy or dusty, and closed shoes. One listing hands out helmets and bandanas, and a traveller on the private ATV day advises you to bring a bandana.
Will I get my own ATV?
Not always. A family of three adults and a child on the wildlife and ATV day were given two vehicles, not three. If you want one each, say so when you book.
What if an ATV breaks down?
It happens: one group on the wildlife and ATV day waited almost an hour for a flat tyre that could not be fixed, and turned back. The operator apologised in writing. A spare hour in your plan is the only real cover.
Can I hold a sloth?
No fare here promises that you can hold a sloth. Each sanctuary sets its own rules for touching and feeding the animals.
Are Roatan Honduras tours good for children?
Most take children with an adult, and each listing sets its own age bands. The ATV driving age and the zipline minimum are the real limits, so check them before you book.
