Highlights
  • Jacamar Naturalist Tours - This experience starts in our zipline park, Arenal Canopy Adventure. After a safety briefing we will head up the first platform with a height of 25 meters (80 ft.) to begin our way across 8 cables that will take us through 2 km (1.2 miles) of beautiful rainforest. This zipline circuit consists of 13 platforms, including 4 built in enormous trees with a specialized anchor system which allows the trees to grow unharmed. The cables range in heights from 20 m. (65 ft.) to 90 m. (300 ft.) and between 70 m. (230 ft.) and 600 m. (1970 feet) in lengths. This allows you to reach speeds of up to 56 kph (35 mph)! Each cable has distinct dimensions and scenery. After enjoying some fresh fruit, we will drive for about an hour through rural areas, plantations, and towns to reach the river. The 11 km (7 mile) section of the river has more than 30 rapids, big waves, and a variety of challenging obstacles. As we descend the river you must be on the lookout for aquatic birds, sloths, monkeys, toucans, and tropical frogs. After our rafting adventure, we will stop at our restaurant, “La Finquita” to enjoy a delicious Costa Rican lunch.

A must if you visit La Fortuna! - I was a little worried about the safety of ziplining and white water rafting, but so glad we did it! Absolutely loved Jacamar and it’s team. Everything we did through them was executed perfectly. It’s obvious that they place high emphasis on safety, professionalism, and customer service. You can tell that they have high quality standards for their team members. Their communication before, during, and even after the tour was always prompt and professional. We were able to communicate with them easily during our stay in LaFortuna using WhatsApp. We did 2 excursions with them including the Adrenaline Tour (ziplining + white water rafting class 2/3) and Top 4 Attractions Tour. The ziplining team at Arenal Canopy was so friendly and extremely professional. It was evident that they were serious about making it a safe and great experience for its guests. The Tarzan swing was terrifying but glad I did it! Our Jacamar tour guide for the white-water rafting component was Diego who was INCREDIBLE! Great communication all along the way and great rafting safety orientation! Diego taught us a lot about Costa Rica during the 1-hour bus ride to the white-water rafting location and all throughout our rafting experience. We had a group of about 16 people so when we got to the river, we broke up into 4 boats with 1 guide/boat. Diego was also our rafting guide. He was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING- LOVED HIM! Felt 110% safe with him. Perfect combination of exciting rapids, relaxing tranquil waters, and learning about the wildlife that surrounded us. We got to get out of the boat 3 times to swim in the water, jump off a small cliff (optional) and stopped halfway to enjoy refreshing fresh fruit. At the end of the trip we enjoyed a delicious fresh Costa Rican lunch. All of the guides were the NICEST guys ever! Loved every moment of this excursion. Thank you Jacamar & Diego!

Great full day adventure! - Do this trip! It’s a long day but so worth it! the zip lining is exhilarating and peaceful at the same time. White water rafting was an intense challenge but so glad we did it. They even had beers for us on the bus on the way to lunch. Our lunch after was delicioso in a local farm to table restaurant. Our guides throughout the day were extremely knowledgeable. Amazing and professional guides set this tour group Apart. One other point they accommodate well. I am a big guy at 5,10 and weigh 295lbs. I was worried the harness or life jacket would not fit, but they fit well and I never felt unsafe. Great family trip! Pura Vida!

Luxury adrenaline tours - We had such a blast. We had got a private zip lining tour (even though we didn’t request one) and the two guides were great. It even includes a Tarzan swing! We spotted animals along the way too. The rafting was also incredible. It’s class 3 rapids right off the bat and our guide was great at directing us. There’s two assistants on kayaks following us for safety. It’s so nice to have just one raft in a group instead of the 3-10 rafts in a group that we saw. Both tours gave you fresh watermelon and pineapple as a snack. They also both had professional photographers taking photos and videos of you which you could buy (and split with others) for $30. You get all the photos they took edited and sent to your email the same day!

Knowledgeable and exciting adventure tour agency, high quality guides! - We booked a few diff excursions, and spent multiple days with Jacamar Tours for our Costa Rica trip. We traveled with a very large age group and diff physical abilities, from age 8 to age 75. The agent I worked with was very nice and helpful in advising me which activities may be a struggle and examples of what she felt was "difficult vs. manageable for my mom and youngest son. We signed up for Xtreme rafting and ATV, Arenal canopy adventure - zip lining, and Hiking Lover's at La Fortuna Waterfall, Rio Celeste and Tenorio Volcano hike. Each day we had diff tour guides that were skilled and knowledgeable for each activity. We were especially impressed with the guide we had for our Hiking Lover's tour, he told us about the history of the plants and ground, the volcano's last eruption, found snakes, exotic birds and sloth's for us to see while driving us to our next destination. Even our bus driver stopped and took out a long distance lenses for everyone to peak at the exotic birds and spider monkey's. The guides always gave us water breaks and made sure we had scenic breaks if he saw the kids were tired. Since we had a large group, we had a dedicated tour bus each day well as guides. We were not rushed around and when we asked to make stops to lunch, they were always very accommodating. Prices were quoted, and payments made easy with wire transfers. I used them to bring us back and forth to the airport s well, I felt safe and comfortable with Jacamar tours.

Adrenaline was a great description of this tour. - We did the zip lining and level 2-3 rafting. It was the best day ever. All guides were very competent and friendly and knowledgeable. We had a blast and always felt safe. Our rafting guide, Susan, was awesome. She was a lot of fun but, also, you knew she knew exactly what she was doing. The only thing we would’ve liked a little different was on the zip lining tour, the pictures stopped after the big swing. It would’ve been nice to have pictures towards the end, especially the last platform. It was the best out of all of them. Highly recommend Jacamar Tours. We felt safe and we had so much fun. Very nice and happy staff on both tours.

RAFTING and zip lining - The zip lining was meh, but the rafting made up for it! The zip line park was small and the staff ( not Jacamar staff) seemed like they were rushing us. The Jacamar staff provided delicious fruit and water during each excursion. After the zip line we boarded a bus to the river. Our driver Christian was amazing and our tour guide Ramon was friendly and fun! Our river guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and made our trip fun. Just the right amount of adrenaline and beautiful all the way through! The rafting was by far my favorite activity of our trip and I would definitely do it again!
