High thrill experience! Great staff, best zip lines in CR! - High thrill experience! Thought we had experienced amazing zip lining previously in the Smokey Mountains…but then we came here. This is the highest zip line in Costa Rica (one of the many lines was over 650 feet)…and it was such an incredibly beautiful experience through the rain forest. Two teens and two parents here all gave this excursion our best of Costa Rica vote (and we did several other very cool things here). Guides were fun, professional and friendly.

Amazing Day Zip Lining - Our family of four (17 and 19 year old kids) had an amazing day on the Ariel tram, zip lines and nature walk. The zip lining was amazing, with views over Lake Arenal. I was incredibly nervous but all the guides put me at ease. Kids had an absolute blast. The nature walk with Maricella was amazing, saw some incredible animals and birds. She was like an encyclopedia. She knew everything. We saw Howler monkeys, snakes, a crab, yes a crab and a tarantula! The cafe overlooking Lake Arenal was a spectacular place to eat lunch. The shuttle bus back to our resort was very convenient. We were in Costa Rica for a week and I think this was one of our favorite activities.

Zip zip hooray! - So much fun! There was one small zip at the top to start it off and get you used to the gear, and then the next one was off to the races! We were there on a foggy day (or was it just above the clouds?) so the first couple runs were just flying into an abyss of clouds - this might sound unfortunate since we missed out on the view, but it made it all the more exciting because you couldn't see where you were going. All your focus was on how fast and fun it was! Once we dropped below the clouds we were able to see everything, which provided a different kind of thrill.
They did an excellent job of prepping us and explaining how everything works. You never feel unsafe. The only downer is when it's over - I wanted to zip all the way down to the lake! Joking of course (a little)
The package also includes a walk through the forest and several hanging bridges, which we did first. It's about 4 miles of moderate up and downs, and on our day it was pouring relentlessly so the conditions were a challenge for sure. Our guide Marisol (spelling?) did a great job of pointing out different types of critters and plants, but there were no monkeys or sloths to se due to the weather. Making matters worse, I wore what I thought was a rain jacket but nope it just a windbreaker, so I was completely drenched. This of course is my own fault, but still it made for a less then pleasant experience.
After the hike, we returned to the main building to regroup and prepare for the ziplines. But first I visited the gift shop for a real rain jacket and a dry shirt. They had a great selection, but of course when buying from a gift shop at a park you pay a premium for that privilege. I happily forked over the cash and soon enough I was dry and protected, ready for the zips. Somewhat expensive yes, but money well spent!
All in all I would definitely do the zips again (and again), but would reconsider the additional time/expense of the hike. It was the same hike we took in plenty other areas around Arenal, but w/o monkeys or sloths it was just a walk in the woods. Maybe on a good weather day that would be different...
We paid for the photo package and took a few of our own as well. They did a good job of capturing our reactions and facial expressions, the most entertaining of which were of our more frightened zippers. Well done!

Fun Times in Costa Rica - Zip ling was a lot of fun. We felt safe and the guides liked to interact and have fun with us. We did not get see to much wildlife on the hanging bridges tour but learned a lot about the flora and fauna of the area. Our family highly recommends this company.

Henry and the group are truly amazing and made this an experience to remember. - Did the whole Sky Tram, Sky Bridge & Zip Line Tour. Amazing experience. Sky Bridge was amazing and the tour guide knew so much. We didn't get to see too many animals but that's we knew that could be the case. It was amazing to be out in the wilderness and to see everything and it was an amazing hike. Be sure you are not afraid of heights! The Sky Tram was short so not much of a tour. The Zip line was amazing and Henry Pena and his team deserve a huge shout out for doing a great job making sure everyone was safe and had a great time. I especially wanted to let the company know that they went above and beyond the call of duty as I accidentally dropped my phone during one of the lines (long story short I thought it was safely secured in my shorts but it still managed to get out) and they went after the tour was done and looked for the phone for an hour and managed to find it!!! And funny enough we managed to run into each other in town also! Truly amazing and Henry and his team deserve and amazing show of recognition for doing more than they should have to make sure everyone had a good time and doing more than they should have. I have told this story to everyone I know and told everyone that they should definitely come to Costa Rica and this is one of the things they have to do and this is the one company they have to do it with!!!

Great time - As a 70 year old with a meniscus tear injury in my knee I was very hesitant about doing the zip line but it was on my wife’s bucket list. It was actually very enjoyable and I survived with no screaming, syncope, or panic attacks!!!. Be sure to also do the Sky Walk through the rain forest. We had monkey’s jumping from one tree to another above our heads. Everything made for a memorable day

Superb experience! - We had a fantastic experience. The zip-line operators were professional and made us feel at ease, and safety was paramount, and the guide for the walk was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He really had a passion for his work. We would highly recommend.

Great day out - Well put together excursion. Did the Tram, Zipline and hike trio. Transportation provided to and from our hotel was on time. There is a cafe with an amazing view to hangout in between excursions.
