The van eases away from a glossy resort road and the island folds open—hills of emerald sugarcane, a ribbon of coastal road, then the rainforest, humid and alert. Your driver keeps conversation light, handing over a chilled bottle of water as the engine idles. Within an hour you trade air conditioning for wind: a launch platform perched over a ravine, harness straps tightening, and a guide counting you down. The first zipline cuts like a question through the canopy; the forest answers with insect song and the distant, patient shape of the Pitons rising above the west coast.
