Morning light breaks through broad-leaf canopy as guides clip you into a harness and check the hardware. You step onto the first platform, feel the small rush of wind off the Atlantic, and push away: eight ACCT-certified zip lines stretch across ridge and valley, more than 7,900 feet (2,408 meters) of double-galvanized cable carrying you above tropical forest and plantation slopes.
