Roatan Zipline - Ride to start of line?

[BigEasyCC]

I am asking everyone if they have been on a zipline in Roatan where you do NOT have to climb up a hill to get to the start of the zipline.

We were in Roatan in January of 2014 and went to Pirates of the Caribean Extemly Extreme zipline. They drove us by a 4 wheel drive truck up to the top of the hill where the zipline began. It was a bit frightening sliding all over the mud roadway up to the top, but it was thrilling too. Then we walked down to the first line and off we went.

My husband is a big guy 6'5", and he knocked over the fellow that was supposed to stop him at the end of the first run, and hit his head on the 4x4 block of wood on the end of the line. It hit him in the face and by the time I came across the zipline behind him, he was holding his eye and blood was streaming down. It wasn't really that bad of a cut, just in his eyebrow. It could have been much worse.

I want to bring my family ziplining in Roatan next cruise, just wanted to know if there are any other options. So, does anyone know of any? Thanks guys.

Look at South Shore Canopy. The taxi will drop you off at the facilities and the zip line starts right there. You zip between canyons.

I think the Gumbalimba Zip starts on West Bay Road, as does South Shore mentioned above. They are close together on the road but the zips go opposite direction from the peak of the hill.
