What is a canopy tour
Canopy Tours are a new nature and adventure based activity in the world-wide tourism industry.
They involve taking tourists up into the forest canopy and traversing between treehouse-type platforms along steel cables. The platforms, called 'cloud stations' are constructed around the trunks of large trees, within the mid canopy level of the forest - typically at heights up to 30m above the forest floor.
Cables are then anchored between platforms at a slight downward angle. The distances between our platforms vary from 15 metres to 400 metres. Clients are kitted out in harnesses with pulleys attached and slide along the cables through the forest canopy and land safely at the next platform.
The tour combines the tranquillity of the forest with the adrenalin of sliding above and through a beautiful natural environment. Tourists have a unique view of the forest from above.
Groups leave the centre at hourly intervals. The duration of the adventure is approximately 3 hours, after which you will arrive back at the centre to relax and share your experience with others in your group while enjoying the refreshments on sale.
The highly trained Guides are an extremely important part of the entire experience and their value and contribution is critical to creating a memorable forest excursion. They are responsible for your safety and they also communicate a strong ecological and conservation message throughout the tour.
