Roatan Jungle Canopy Tours on Zip Lines

Roatan has four zip line canopy tours: South Shore Canopy Tour and Gumbalimba Park, both at West Bay Beach,
and two centrally-located near Fantasy Island and Palmetto Hill.

Palmetto Bay Hill: biggest on the island, with 20 platforms, including swing bridges and a climbing wall. Once you arrive at the tour, your guide will equip you with a harness and safety equipment and you will be guided through the jungle, from platform-to-platform. There are 20 rides from the top of the hill through the jungle, and these include zip lines, where you glide through the jungle attached to a safety cable and harness, swing bridge walks in the tops of the trees, and a small climbing wall. Guests will be able to able to have fun with this activity; children should be at least 1.3 meters (4 feet) tall.

Things to bring with you: Sneakers or sandals with back straps, sunscreen and insect repellent, shorts or trousers and don't forget your camera!! This is a moderate-level activity.

Tickets and transportation for the Palmetto Ridge Canopy Tour can be purchased through Tropicalrez.com.

West Bay Beach: Tour buses stop at the Canopy Tour entrance; if you're driving, you'll see the Park entrance on the right a little past, on the road to West Bay Beach. The canopy tour consists of 11 platforms with two short walks. After gearing up and listening to a brief explanation of safety features and techniques, adventurers take off from the briefing station to the first tree platform, about 60 feet high. The tour lasts about one hour.

NOTE to Cruise ship visitors: There seems to be some sort of arrangement whereby your gate charge may be the same rate for Gumbalimba as if you had booked through the cruise ship -- please check this out.
