Amazing Tree Top Canopy Walk of BRL, and the two model are my Dad Roberto& my Brother Steven.
The suspension cable are hung between dipterocarp and mengaris trees at 15-25m up the trunks - barely half the height of these enormous trees but sensationally within the rainforest canopy. Each suspension point there is an octagonal shaped observation platform which allows the user time to rest before the nest airy bridge.
Five supported trees;
Start walking up straight 5m to >SERAYA <38M> SERAYA <63M> MENGGARIS <30M> MENGGARIS <77M> URAT MATA <65M> Finish


The Walkway are"tree friendly" without rigging any of steel cables direct into the trees.
