You step off the last platform with salt on your lips and the swell of the Caribbean at your feet. The canopy here doesn’t just hang over the island — it pulls you through it: palms and mangroves leaning into the breeze, monkeys casting curious shadows, and the ocean occasionally breaking through the green in a ribbon of blue. Guides clip you into a harness, explain the rhythm — walk, clip, push — and the forest answers with the woosh of cables and the rustle of wings.
