The best way to see an indigenous forest is from above and there is nothing better than flying above the forest canopy attached to a steel cable. A canopy tour was my 31st birthday present from my family and what a present!!! You traverse from one platform to another along a steel cable that is above the forest floor, I think the highest point is about 40m. You can check out the scenery and the birdlife from a truly unique perspective and it gets the blood pumping for sure. The longest of the 8 'slides' is about 170m long and it is quite something. The guides are brilliant and make you feel completely safe. If you have a chance then give this a go!!!
