Monkey & Sloth Hangout
Hold a sloth. Make a capuchin friend. Melt.
1.5–2 hours (great combined with other stops)FamiliesAnimal loversPhotos
The photo everyone goes home talking about: a sleepy-eyed sloth in your arms and a capuchin monkey inspecting your hair. Roatán's animal sanctuaries let you meet sloths, monkeys and scarlet macaws up close, with keepers who know every animal by name.
It's the island's most family-friendly stop and pairs perfectly with a beach afternoon or the chocolate factory. We time it to dodge the biggest crowds from the ships.
Highlights
- Hold and photograph a two-toed sloth
- Playful capuchin monkey encounters

- Keeper-guided, animal-first visits
Know before you go
