Is your tour safe?
Absolutely! We have been in business over seven years without a single serious accident. Please see “safety” page for specific information.

Do I need to make a reservation?
We recommend making reservations in advance. Our tours are very popular and we do not want you to miss out on them!

What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty. Shorts, t-shirts and either tennis shoes or teva type sandals work well. Rain gear during the rainy season (May-December) can come in handy.

Are there age limits?
Not really. The only requirements are that children need to fit into our equipment and at times may need to complete the tour with one of our guides. Most kids 5 and up can do the tour. There are no upper age limits, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, well into his 70’s, completed a tour in 2000.

Other limitations?
This tour is not recommended for persons who are pregnant or those with heart problems or seizure disorders.
 

All participants need only to be able to walk a distance (some of it uphill) of about 600 ft (200 meters) and to be able to raise your arms for breaking on the cables and to be able to raise your legs when coming in at the platforms.

Also you must fit safely in the harness, this will be determined by the guides. The maximum weight limit is approximately 260 pounds (125 kilos).
 

We reserve the right to deny any person from participating in the Canopy Tour while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other mind altering substances. Your safety, as well as others on the tour, is our main concern.

Will we see wildlife?
Nothing is guaranteed but there is a high probability of seeing something. As we are located in a primary rainforest, we have vast numbers and species of birds, various species of monkeys, wild pigs, and many reptiles.

Can I bring a camera?
Sure, just keep in mind that anything you take on the tour must be carried by you all the way in a manner that leaves your hands free. A small backpack is a good way to carry things. We are not responsible for loss or damage to personal property and we cannot recover items that are dropped.

What else should I bring?
It is recommended to bring insect repellent as the little critters of the jungle can become a bit of an annoyance.

Are tours run in the rain?
Yes, it wouldn’t be the rainforest without rain! The tour operates in all weather conditions except when there is lightning overhead. In this case we wait until the lightning clears.

What if I am afraid of heights?
This is normal for most people. Usually after the first cable or two almost everyone settles down and feels comfortable with the tour. Many people who are afraid of heights end up having a great time with a sense of accomplishing something new.

How long will the tour last?
Usually around 2 hours.
