The first platform catches the last heat of the day. Sunlight slips through the leaves, gilding the trunks in a warm, honeyed light, and then—gradually—the forest exhales into color. From 25 meters above the ground, the canopy becomes a moving ocean; the Pacific horizon sharpens into a narrow ribbon, and you feel the dusk pull you forward. That pull is literal here: the cables lead you out over the trees, and for the next 90 minutes you move between platforms, guided by experienced staff and a light mounted on your helmet that makes the dark feel like another kind of twilight.

Arrive hydrated
Bring water and sip before the tour—heat and adrenaline both pull moisture quickly; refillable bottles are fine though bottled water is provided.
Dress for dusk
Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes to protect against harness chafe and cooler evening air.
Secure your gear
Use straps or leave phones in lockers; the course moves quickly and loose items can be lost or dangerous.
Expect helmet lamps
A lamp is mounted on helmets for the night section, but bring a small headlamp if you prefer extra light for landings.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Grip and toe protection for landings and short walks between platforms.
Long pants
Reduce harness chafing and protect legs from brush on platform approaches.
Compact headlamp or small flashlight
Supplement the helmet lamp for personal tasks or extra visibility after sunset.
Light rain shell
Useful in the rainy months when brief tropical downpours can roll through at dusk.
