The canopy walk starts off fairly gently with the ground 5 metres below you, however as you go along the ground drops away quite quickly and you guessed it... There's no way to turn back!
If you're scared of heights, this is a tough experience, and my heart went pumping like crazy, especially because these rope bridges don't stay still - they tend to sway quite a lot.
However, the view is breathtaking; you don't realise the height of the forest until you take the canopy walk, and you really can see a different world from up there. On the ground, you can't actually see the top of the forest, and in the canopy, quite frankly I was a little scared to look too much at the ground.
There are about nine bridges, and the experience takes about 45 minutes. Once on the other side, you can sit down for a while before they take you up the hillside to see a breathtaking view from the top of the hill. Be warned - it's pretty steep climbing, it's generally wet, and it's pretty tiring if you're not used to the heat. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're reasonably acclimatised. I say this 'coz I got as far as the viewpoint and then stopped for a long rest, while the others headed to the top and back.
