Zip-Lining in Roatan Honduras

#Zip_Lining_Honduras

Zip-Lining has been around for many years (know as Zip-Wire) as it was usually located in the mountainous areas of our world & was used to deliver people plus goods.

But you knew us humans would find other fun uses for it, right 😄  

From its humble beginnings as a childrens game we now have "professional" versions in which the cables can be as high as 106 meters (350 feet) plus traveling up to 1.6kms (1mile) in distance.

 So here i am in Roatan where we have a 600 meter (2000 feet) course that maybe is 60 meters (200 feet) high which is a good start for any beginner like myself

 Also they have here a canopy tour over the rainforest, so if not so inclined to be a "Flying Fox" you can still go out and enjoy nature.

 

KeyTip:  Roundtrip from your cruise ship, entrance fees to the nature park & the 13 zip lines, English speaking guide plus all your safety equipment included in the $67.00 US price

Also a good deal is the $15.00 charge for the photographer (on site) in which he transfers the pictures he takes of you onto a thumb drive 

It is a 20 minute ride from the cruise ship to the Zip Line Park which is situated on 28 acres of tropical jungle that you will see wildlife, plants, fruit tress & lizards. 
From there we are on a walk above the rainforest onto some of the 16 platforms that are setup in the trees which has the 13 zipline runs 

KeyTip; You can bring your own camera or cellphone, but just make sure it is on a tether so you do not drop it......as needless to say, if it falls your not getting it back 😅

As i talked to some who did the Eco walk (the general opinion) it was just okay, the guide was informative but basically you can only see so much when on a rainforest canopy tour which would include some plant life, lizards & maybe some snakes
But also some enjoyed the bridges & the stairs (64 down / 84 up) walkabout so it is whatever you are looking for

Harness, Helmet & Safety Demonstration may seem boring but it does serve an important function
There has been at least two deaths associated with the Roatan Zip-Line & in broader terms (because of the popularity of the sport) 16,000+ injuries were treated in US emergency rooms over the last decade ranging from concussions, fractures or sprains.
