1st zip line - Monkey Trail, or which one for our interests?

My husband and I are interested in trying zip lining in Roatan, and will most likely use Rony's to coordinate. He offers access to several, and provides a comparison chart, but I still have questions. I would like to zip over/through some of the jungle canopy, not just over open ground or a field. The Monkey Trail ziplines sound like it might be what we want, but a hand brake is required. Not having done this before, I don't know if hand braking would be difficult for first timers . We are in our 40s, in decent shape. Is there a different zipline expereince that would be better for us? Although perhaps a little contradictory, we'd like to experience a little bit of the natural surrounds as part of the tour. I will ask the same question of Rony's, but would like first-hand thoughts from any who have done these ziplines previously.

thanks for any advice!

Check out the Pirates of the Carribean's website. I did their Extreme Extreme zip a few yrs. ago and loved it. No climbing, no hand brake and it's the highest, longest around. steve

South Shore Canopy is another good over the canopy zip line. Goes over some canyons so you're fairly high up but don't have to climb.
