English term or phrase: canopying

A guided tour among the tops of the trees in a rainforest in Costa Rica (not walking on the ground, but up in the air).

The tops of the trees are the "canopy."

I need the exact term that is normally used in ecotourism, please, not simply a translation of the meaning.

hacer canopy

Explanation:
Sin traducción, pero con explicación:
El canopy consiste específicamente en realizar un descenso colgado de distintas tirolesas partiendo de estructuras de madera construidas en las copas de enormes árboles por el nivel más alto del bosque. Las plataformas se encuentran unidas por cables de acero por donde el visitante puede tirarse y recorrer distancias de 30 a 300 metros según los tramos, colgado de un arnés de máxima seguridad.
