Ziplining & Canopy Adventure — cable after cable
Platform to platform through the forest canopy, with a Tarzan swing and a head-first Superman line — and monkeys watching you go by.
The Ziplining & Canopy Adventure sends you gliding platform to platform through the forest canopy of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, with a Tarzan swing and a head-first Superman line, while howler and capuchin monkeys may move through the trees around you. Best early in the morning or late in the afternoon — an add-on to our ATV & Buggy or Mangrove Canoe days, $100 per person.
A Zipline Through the Dry-Forest Canopy, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
We clip you in and send you gliding from platform to platform through the forest canopy, cable after cable. The runs people remember most are the Tarzan swing — that half-second of free-fall into open air — and the Superman line, where you fly head-first with the trees rushing straight at you. But the part that stays with everyone is the gallery as you cross: howler and capuchin monkeys, birds and iguanas, watching you go by — wild enough to feel staged, except none of it is.
We head out early, before the sun turns harsh and while the wildlife is most active, or late afternoon before sundown — the coolest, quietest hours, ahead of the crowds. It's for almost everyone, kids from five and up, and we set up comfortably for wheelchair users too; we'd only steer you away if you have a real fear of heights, vertigo, a heart condition, or an advanced pregnancy (max rider weight 300 lbs). Your naturalist guide is exclusively yours and stays with your group the whole time. The course itself is a shared facility — you may see other visitors on the platforms — and it's run by certified local guides who fly these lines every day. It pairs perfectly as an add-on to our ATV & Buggy Adventure or our Mangrove Canoe Wildlife Safari.
Where does it fit in your day?

Frequently asked questions
No experience needed. Certified guides handle all the technical clipping and braking, give you a full safety briefing, and check your gear at every platform. The course is built and inspected for safe riding.
Yes. There is no fixed minimum age: it depends on the child and on how comfortable they are riding a cable on their own. A child who is not ready to ride alone goes tandem, clipped to one of the guides. It is one of our most beginner-friendly adventures.
About an hour to an hour and a half on the course itself. It pairs easily with another experience to round out a half or full day.
Closed-toe shoes, light active clothing, tied-back hair, and sunscreen. Leave loose items behind; a little cash is handy if you’d like the professional photos.
Totally normal. The first platform is the hardest part — most guests relax after the very first cable. Your guides keep you secure and go at your pace, and you choose how adventurous to get.
Twenty-four hours before your tour begins, counted from the start time and not the day. Cancel before that and you get a full refund.
