The platform creaks, a small crowd exhales, and the rainforest seems to lean forward as if to watch. You clip in to a dual-cable system — an extra lifeline that stays attached from the moment you step onto the first platform until the final brake — and the guide gives the nod. Then gravity takes over and the canopy dares you to fly.

Adventure Tips
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes improve footing on forest trails and during launches; flip-flops are not allowed.
Secure loose items
Leave phones and jewelry in your bag or use a tethered action camera — anything loose can be lost or dangerous at speed.
Hydrate before and after
Bottled water is provided, but drink regularly in the tropical heat to avoid dizziness between runs.
Check medical restrictions
This tour isn’t recommended for people with severe back or heart conditions — notify staff and confirm any weight limits when booking.
