Bags when zip-lining?
 
I leave in two weeks for my trip and am so excited but just thought of this question. What do you do with your bag (purse, pack, etc.) and camera when you go ziplining?

When we went in Roatan, not only did our guide carry my backpack, he took my camera, zipped down ahead of us and took great shots of our whole group on the way down. Have a great time!!

Not us, we all carried our own things! So, don't take a bunch of stuff. ;) We left our bag at the "office", but took our camera and I just hung the strap over my shoulder and zipped away!

We've done the zip-line twice. When
we were at Rincon, we actually did a combo tour that incl. a water slide (that was CRAZY and freezing water)...b/c we had our swimsuits, I had a small pack (like a camera bag) and my camera....wasn't a big deal, just wore it across my body on my shoulder. The second time was at Monteverde and had my camera there as well....not a big deal. Have fun!

We are going to Roatan on Sunday. Which zipine did you do? Would you reccomend it? Thanks

We only take a fanny pack big enough to hold the room key, a small camera and a small amount of cash. If you wear cargo pants/shorts, you may be able to zip up your stuff in the pockets.
