introduction to LANGKAWI CANOPY ADVENTURES

 

Juergen Zimmerer

 

Heard of Air Trekking? Langkawi is the only place outside of Costa Rica to offer this Fear Factor-worthy activity!

The setting is at  Gunung Raya, Langkawi’s tallest mountain and home to some 400 tree species and an array of wildlife including the flying lemur, mouse deer, lorries, wild boar, civet cat and at least 40 species of snakes. A guided trek up the 890m tall granitoid mountain is a popular rough-it-out option, though a different sort of adrenaline rush can be found just a few hundred meters into the primary rainforest.

Langkawi Canopy Adventure’s founder-guide Juergen Zimmerer leads an uphill walk through the bush, to a slab of rock where you’re taught how to abseil and familiarize yourself with the equipment. Once you’re certified  fit to proceed, trek a little further to a network of cables and ropes. Safety is paramount. You’re hooked to a multitude of Winner of Best Adventure Tour Operator Malaysia 2004safety devices and – whoosh! – you take the leap of faith and sail, Tarzan-like, through the million-year-old rainforest.

The Canopy tour consists of:

20m Postman's Bridge (Walking on steel cable)
Spiderweb climb
30m Mixed Bridge
3m Tree climb
60m Flying Fox
5m Abseiling/Rappelling
20m Traverse
30m Abseiling/Rappelling

The adventure lasts 2 1/2 to 3 hours. But the buzz in your head stays and some aching muscles remind you of the  but mind-blowing experience. The views from up there – every now and then you have the chance to stop and admire the forest canopy - is pretty awesome.

Price: RM 180.00-RM 200.00
