Canopy Tour
A canopy tour is an established route through a wooded and often mountainous landscape making primary use of zip-lines and aerial bridges between platforms built in trees. Tourists are harnessed to a steel cable without interruption throughout the entire tour for safety.
Canopy tours let those who engage in the program take in beautiful surroundings from high above the treetops, while zipping from one platform or canopy bridge to the next.
Canopy Tour means a guided aerial exploration or transit of the forest canopy, most commonly by means of a series of zip lines or aerial walkways with platforms.
A canopy tour is a type of eco adventure tour in which participants travel from treetop to treetop via ziplines. Students and scientists created these types of tours when they were studying flora and fauna high in the trees. Today, adventure enthusiasts can participate in canopy tours all over the world. Several difficulty levels are available to choose from, and many tour companies claim that just about anyone can participate.
BENEFITS
IMPROVED BLOOD FLOW
There is a reason your heart starts pumping hard when you have an adrenaline rush. Your air passages dilate and your blood vessel contract in a way that directs more blood to your major muscle groups. Adrenaline does this so that your body will be ready for “fight or flight,” but it also has the added benefit of providing your muscles with high levels of oxygen. This reaction is a big reason that many of the following health benefits occur.
YOUR VISION IMPROVES
As adrenaline is designed to prime the body for a threat, one bodily function that is impacted in a big way is your vision. Your will pupils dilate which will allow more light in. The sights you can take in while flying through our canopy tour are made even more spectacular because they are literally breathtaking. Luckily, your breathing gets a boost too.
YOU CAN BREATHE EASIER
The bronchioles in your lungs will relax with an adrenaline rush, making respiration easier. When you are at the apex of a canopy tour — take a deep breath. You’ll notice the difference immediately.
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM GETS A BOOST
While chronic stress tends to drain your energy, short bursts of adrenaline can actually do the opposite. Being on high alert boosts the power of your immune system. An “adrenally-primed” immune system is much more likely to fight off potential infections, at least temporarily.
SOME STUDIES SHOW ADRENALINE SLOWS AGING
Brief shots of adrenaline can actually increase the number of antioxidants circulating your system. These antioxidants can combat the free radicals that cause aging and tissue damage. Perhaps that is the reason our employees are so good youthful looking — or at least we like to believe so.
