And that is me in 2011 my first time on the walkway, from my face you can tell how i was feeling that moment :)
I have been there 3 times, and any time am on the canopy walkway it still test my braveness level. Its an amazing experience from the rich green forest to the beautiful animals, the rivers, the childrens park and yes the famous canopy walkway.I went there for the first time with the intention of not taking the walk across the bridges The irresistible views convinced me to take the plunge.
The sites above the trees was breathtaking. The ecosystem at it's best. The guide was knowledgeable and agreeable to the group being able to stop and rest during the hike. The shopping at the end of the hike was great. The bargains are great. The photo opt at the end leaves you with a great picture to share your memories and to prove to the doubters that you survived the tour.
The feeling you have when you finally see this, is just soo let me say alived haha if there is a word like that.
