You step onto the platform and the island exhales beneath you — wind pushing you forward as the canopy releases its hold and the Caribbean opens up. Lines run through humid forest, where palms and broadleaf trees lean toward the sea; from one lookout you can see Coxen Hole pinned against the coastline like a watercolor. Nature dares you to move faster; the zipline answers.
