experience is necessary! Tour is for anyone over the age of five and
in at least moderate physical condition. It is recommended that you

The
Canopy Tour was originally invented in Costa Rica. Using platforms,
connected with a series of rope pulleys on horizontal traverse cables,
the effect is to sail across through the top of the tropical rain forest
canopy in an exhilarating fashion. Going back to the forest floor involves
rappelling down a rope.
Environmental
and Safety Statement:
Because
of the type of platform and cable construction, there is little impact
to the sensitive ecological balance that exists in the rain forest,
which is a primary concern. Platforms and cables are made of non-corrosive
steel. The pulleys are also made from non-corrosive steel, with a built-in
backup system. Safety checks are performed daily on all equipment, anchors,
cables and connections. Harnesses, carabineers, and other equipment
all pass standards set by the ACCT (Association of Challenge Course
Technologies).
