Today we
had an amazing opportunity to visit the beautiful Red Frog Beach, located on
Bastimentos Island located in Bocas del Toro, Panama!
Our friends
at Bastimentos Sky Zipline Canopy Tour (http://www.redfrogbeach.com/bocas-del-toro-zipline.html ) took us on an unforgettable
journey through the tropical rainforest.
What an
experience! The Zipline constructed 13 years ago by Jose Manuel Pizarro (a
Costarrican who has built many lines in Costa Rica) uses trees at the base for
the platforms, I found this very interesting as I could easily bird watch while
on the tour.
Built to
include 7 zip lines, swaying Sky Bridge (fun but challenging to get across to
the other platform!) and soon to include the Tree Top Challenge Course!
We were
greeted in the small Kayukos restaurant by a super friendly team of guides,
Ruso, Alvaro & German, whom were very quick to help us with gear, answer my
many questions and instruct us on the importance of safety while on this trip!
Friendly,
professional & bilingual staff taking care of our every need while at the
canopy tour.
We began with a quick walk through
the rainforest to the first platform, although I have done many ziplines in
Costa Rica I can never get enough, I love the feeling when gliding in the air!
I could
feel my heart pounding at Ruso attached me to the first cable and off we went!
The best
part of canopy is looking around you as you glide through the air; the
Bastimentos Island has various elevations & dense forested hills that can
be appreciated only at these heights!
Lush green
tropical rainforest, the sound of birds and calling insects, a chorus in the
air!
More than 2
hours later, having run 7 lines, 1 hanging bridge, 1 rappel later we are back
on solid ground! The trip was excellent, the guides were very informative,
careful with our safety and of course making sure we had a ton of fun!
One of my highlights, I found the
famous Red Frog.
Definitely
a highlight on the visit to Bocas del Toro and 100% recommended!
Thank you
to all the team at Bastimentos Sky Zipline Canopy Tour!
