It's genuinely native -- the scarlet macaw has been Honduras's official national bird since 1993 -- but it's now rare and vulnerable to poaching in the wild, which is part of why seeing one up close at a protected sanctuary like the one on this tour is a different experience from spotting one in nature.

About This Tour

A private, air-conditioned vehicle and driver-guide take you to see sloths, monkeys, and macaws up close, then to a chocolate factory and rum tasting stop, finishing with free time on West Bay Beach.

The rum tasting on this tour draws on a much longer story than most visitors realize. Sugarcane itself isn't native to the Caribbean at all -- Christopher Columbus carried the first cuttings over on his second voyage in 1493, and within a few decades Spanish colonists had spread cane cultivation from Hispaniola to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Cuba, with commercial sugar production underway across the region by 1520. Rum itself came later, as enslaved plantation workers discovered that the molasses left over from refining sugar could be fermented and distilled into a drinkable spirit -- a process first known by rougher names like "guildive" before "rum" became the standard term in the 18th century. Central America's own rum and sugar industries actually developed later than those on the Caribbean islands, so the rum poured on this tour is a newer branch of that tradition rather than a direct descendant of the earliest colonial-era distilleries.

The wildlife stop puts you face to face with some genuinely notable species. The scarlet macaw -- the bird you'll likely see among the park's parrots and macaws -- has been Honduras's official national bird since the National Congress formally decreed it a national symbol on June 28, 1993, under its Spanish name "La Guara Roja." Despite that status, wild scarlet macaws are now rare across much of Honduras and vulnerable to poaching, which makes a close, protected sighting a genuinely different experience from spotting one in the wild. The sloths you'll meet belong to species found across this part of Central America -- most likely the brown-throated three-toed sloth, the most widespread sloth species on the continent and one that's actually active during the day, unlike the mostly nocturnal two-toed sloth species that also range through this region.

Chocolate has an unusually deep history in this corner of Central America. Archaeologists have found residue of cacao in pottery vessels unearthed at Puerto Escondido, on the Honduran mainland, dating back roughly 3,100 years to around 1100 BC -- among the oldest confirmed evidence of chocolate use anywhere in the world. For most of that long history, cacao wasn't eaten as candy at all; it was ground and whisked into a bitter, beer-like drink reserved for ceremonies and the elite, a world away from the sweet bar you'll sample at the factory stop on this tour.

The day finishes at West Bay, which sits along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest reef system in the Caribbean and the second-largest on the planet after Australia's Great Barrier Reef. On this stretch of Roatán's coast the reef wall starts only about 30 yards offshore, which is part of why the water stays so calm and clear right off the sand -- you're swimming at the edge of a reef system that's home to more than 95 percent of all Caribbean marine species.
