The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Covered, grippy shoes are required for platforms and short hikes between lines; no sandals or flip-flops.

Hydrate before and during

Bring a refillable bottle; tropical heat and adrenaline both dehydrate quickly on a half-day tour.

Arrive early for cooler winds

Morning slots usually offer clearer views and lighter winds for the longest cables.

Disclose health conditions

Tell staff about any back, heart, or pregnancy-related issues; waivers are mandatory and limits are enforced.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Nearby river crossings where local guides will point out freshwater pools used by villagers
  • A short lookout trail at a higher platform that offers a rare inland view toward the coast at sunrise

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical parrots and other canopy birds

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize minimal-impact routes and educate guests on staying on platforms and not feeding wildlife to protect habitat and local species.

The Anamuya area has a rural agricultural history; adventure operators developed canopy tours to leverage natural ravines carved into limestone and alluvial soils.
