5/15/2025 – In Roatán, Honduras, new legislation passed in March has introduced stricter guidelines for guest interactions with wildlife during excursions, raising questions among cruise passengers about the future of popular animal encounters on the island. To clarify, URComped correspondent Joel Hashop visited Roatán last week and reported that at AJ’s Sloth Farm, guides informed guests that physical contact with sloths is now restricted. Guests are no longer allowed to hold or pet the animals; however, if a sloth initiates contact on its own, the interaction is permitted. This new policy aims to ensure more ethical and natural wildlife experiences while maintaining the appeal of one of Roatán’s most beloved activities.
