Thrilling but never scary - The level was perfect, plenty of thrills but we never felt terrified. Both my partner and I (in our late 50s-early 60s) and children (26 ann 22 years old) loved the experience. There were beautiful views of the forest. The guides were excellent

Super fun adventure! - This was so much fun! I was very scared to try zip lining but Samuel, Roderick, and Ronald were very patient and understanding and we all had a blast! My husband and two kids and I loved soaring through the trees! The guides did a wonderful job explaining everything, and they took pictures and videos throughout our trip. We hope to get the chance to go back!

Bucket List Item! - A bucket list of mine has always been zip lining in the Costa Rican rainforest… and this exceeded all of my expectations! Our 4, experienced guides led us safely through a fast paced zip amongst the trees with miles of dangling forest below much like our monkey brethren. The Tarzan swing was a death defying drop swinging over a cliff that was both terrifying and exhilarating. I felt invincible and part of this world. What really brought a tear to my eye was the final line… the 8th. After zipping through tree line the most breathtaking view of sky and canopy jungle open as you whirl through the air. The best zip line I have ever done!

Great experience. Recommended! - Great experience. We booked a private tour. Zip lined through 8 courses, varying in length and height from the ground. Kids were assisted. Youngest one (7) went by himself. We spotted toucans on the way. Afterwards we purchased pictures for $50 (optional) and received complimentary water and fresh fruits.
