It allows a vision of the forest from a different perspective which starts with a walk on the ground taking you up to explore the treetops, a hardly discovered habitat, called the “canopy” with a naturalist guide. Also discover the night wildlife at our Sky Walk Night Tour. « less

“Worth a visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

This was quite an experience walking over several very long suspension bridges over the top of the rainforest. It is easier than possibly you are told and was managed by several older people in our group. Not recommended if you suffer from vertigo!

“Amazing views of cloud forest but don't expect to see any wildlife as too noisy due to zip lining nearby.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013 via mobile

Guide knowledgeable but we saw only one caterpillar and a wild turkey. We heard the best possibility for viewing wildlife would be early morning. We weren't advised this on booking. However cloud forest truly wonderful.

“A Walk in the Clouds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

A treetop view of the area with a looping walk that allowed for glorious views and without the rush or need to move on. If zip lines aren't your preference, you can walk along the bridges and still feel the excitement of being up there.

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013 via mobile

We had a great time doing the sky tram and then the zip line. The guides were excellent and very professional. The views from the top are outstanding - but beware that it can be cold and windy at the top, so bring a jacket. The zip line was really excellent, but high and very long. It's really fun, but not for the faint of heart. Overall a great time.

“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

The Sky walk was fun because it was so different as far as the surrounding flora and fauna. I am not as big on heights as i used to be but 2 bridges into the hike and i was quickly over them due to the pure beauty that surrounded me. You are literally at eye level with the canopy of the forest. One thing i noticed was that the fruit on some of the trees haden't quite ripened so i can imagine how many different species of birds and other critters would have been present if they were ripe. We did get to see several bird species and lots and lots of pretty flowers and unique trees. We did not take a tour guide and still enjoyed the experience very much. I would highly recommend it.
