The Flight of Tucan Canopy
Our Rainforest Zip line Tour imitates the flight of the chestnut-mandible toucan, as it leaps off a branch, swoops down through the forest and then up in to another tree. On this tour, 8 separate cable rides take you from one ridge top to another, across valleys and streams. There are 14 land based platforms and 1 tree platform with a great view of the coast. You will have 2 guides this tour one of whom speaks fluent English. This is a great way to see and learn about the forest and have lots of fun at the same time.

The Mangrove Walk
This hike takes you through the secondary and successional forests of the lowlands where the walking is easy and the bird watching is wonderful. A bird blind with a view of a rookery where several species of water birds nest in the rainy season is of particular interest. For the Mangrove Walk we recommend light clothing, binoculars, repellent and a bottle of water.
