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 and 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 plus the 13 zip lines, English speaking guide and 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 and 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 and maybe some snakes
But also some enjoyed the bridges plus the stairs (64 down / 84 up) walkabout so it is whatever you are looking for

Harness, Helmet and 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 plus in broader terms outside this country (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.
