Canopy Tour Definition

What is a canopy tour?

Originally conceived in the Costa Rican cloud forest canopy in the 1970s, canopy tours originally guided guests into the treetops to experience the rich biodiversity and to learn more about the natural world. Today, true canopy tours are as much a thrill as they are an educational experience, but they always include trees as the main structural element.
