What the Tour Feels Like
You start at a central pavilion to get fitted and briefed, then climb into the trees and move from platform to platform as guides manage the transitions. The sequence of eight lines delivers repeated, elevated runs above forest floors, ravines and open clearings—an extended canopy experience rather than a single sprint.
