A helmet clips into place, harness straps whisper against your ribs, and the canopy ahead stretches like a green runway. From the first cable the wind takes hold—trees lean in, a river dares you below, and the north-coast range rolls away in stepped hills and farmland. Expect seven cables that run over treetops, across a stream and open valleys, then a saddle and a slow, steady ride through pastures and tropical flora.
