Barbados Canopy Tour

[Canada5]

Can anyone offer any information on the canopy tour that Princess speaks of in their shore excursions? I was not aware that a canopy tour was in operation in Barbados.

I'm also interested in the Barbados Canopy Tour. I called Princess for

more info and they said it was new and sent me a brochure from Aerial

Trek Adventures. Let me know if you take this I'd love to know how it

went. We are cruising in November.

A friend who's into local thrill-seeking activities like Car-rallying,Scuba,etc.

tells me he heard of such an interest-to-be,

but he's not certain it was ever actually set up and operational.

 

Now you guys have me intrigued.

If I find out anything more, I'll let you know

but for now it doesn't seem to be Common Knowledge.

 

Any odder Bajans in here who know more?

Spill de beanz, nuh!

And here's a blurb I found that goes along with aplmac's info:

The tour takes you over seven platforms, each with two of our experienced guides who will provide information on different areas of the eco-system you are experiencing.

As good as the ones in Jamaica, St. Marten, and Antigua. No rope bridges to deal with. Interesting deep gully with vegetation like a rain forest, wouldn't expect to find this on relatively flat Barbados. Lines up to 250' if I remember correctly. Very safe and child friendly.
