Morning light under the canopy feels close enough to touch as you step onto the first platform — the river below a dark ribbon, the forest around you full of bird calls and the smell of wet earth. The experience begins with a drive from Belize City through lowland tropical forest; guides brief the group at a secure base, fit helmets and harnesses, and walk you through a short practice “chicken run” before the higher zips.
