Highly recommend - This was one of our favorite activities in La fortuna. Doing all 12 zip lines was totelly worth it and even the shorter ones are pretty fast. The safety gear is all high quality. It poured rain on us the whole time but we were having so much fun it didn’t matter. I was expecting to have spend a lot of time waiting at each station but the guides move the group along really efficiently and I never waited more than a few minutes for my turn. Scenery was amazing and after zip lining over the La fortuna waterfall I didn’t feel the need to pay to walk down to it.

Birds Eye view - My friend and I went on this excursion not knowing what to expect but knew it was a must do while in Costa Rica. We did a total of 12 zip lines and the guides were amazing. Alan and Andrea did an amazing job making my friend comfortable ,she is scared of guests but this was a must do thing so they rode with her on all the zip lines. They weren’t bothered at all we all had a great time the views were to die for. Super safe. The climb isn’t for the weak but u can take your time no one is in a rush. 10 out of 10 recommend

It’s a rush! - It’s an adrenaline rush. One thing you need to know about this company is that they move you along. A quick 3-min safety video, jump into a harness, then a tractor ride up the hill, and you’re up on a line. I think it’s by design because they don’t want to give you the opportunity to get scared. These lines are long and fast. Rollercoaster speeds. But what a rush! Never felt unsafe.

NEED TO KNOW PRIOR TO BOOKING - 5 star review BUT the website and booking does not give enough details to prepare you. HERE IS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO KNOW. 1. Clothing: they tell you to wear long pants. You do not HAVE to. It is HOT and you do strenuous exercise up to the zipline. However, some people who wore shorts did get scratches and were bleeding from hitting a branch or two. It was rare, but did happen. 2. Supplies: You cannot take anything with you. It is left in lockers. No fanny pack, not a small backpack. Only what you can put in zipped pockets. This means that their recommendation to bring bug spray, etc, is moot. WATER: There are water jugs along the way here and there with paper cups. MONEY: There are souvenirs at the end, before you drive back, which they don't tell you, and this means you need to have cash on hand for them - which no one did. 3. Physical Exercise: They tell you that people with heart problems shouldn't do this. However, you do need to be at a certain physical level for it in general. If you are not, you will delay your group significantly and may even turn around. We were an HOUR behind because of a group who was not physically fit and could not climb the stairs and the looooong uphill trail to get to the first zipline. My sister had to breastfeed her baby and instead of being gone for the 2.5 hrs plus driving, we were gone for 4. We also had people completely give up and turn around, but you do not get your money back. 4. Souvenir Shop: there are 2 at the very end before you are driving back on the bus to your vehicles. Put cash in zipped pockets if you want to buy these and support those owners. 5. Weight: if you are lighter and/or smaller you will often have to go down with a guide, sometimes with another person from another group and a guide. They jokingly call this a 'taxi' and it's so you don't get stuck. My sister did get stuck. You just deal with it, and she didn't mind, but some people might. 6. IF I COULD MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS they would be: - bring Ski Goggles if you want to be able to see through the rain and not be pelted. Some of the guides had them. Brilliant. - Wear breathable and lightweight shoes and clothes, quick drying is best. You do not need long sleeves or long pants but it is nice to have mid thigh shorts to avoid chafing from the harness. Be warned that some people did get scratched with only wearing shorts. All in all, it was an amazing day. None of these are complaints, we just thought it odd that they didn't tell you some of them. Some of them aren't necessary to know ahead of time but others seem like they should have been noted in advance. We LOVED the day. None of these things actually bothered us, but we noted that they did bother other people and I thought it would be helpful to share! Have fun!

Ziplining was awesome! - Such an awesome time! We felt completely safe and comfortable with the guides. They were knowledgeable and helpful. The 12 course zip line we did required a bit of walking up steep steps but totally worth it.

High flying! - There are probably 3000 steps, not for the faint of heart. Our guides were fabulous, making sure everyone’s needs were met, including 4 children, one as young as 6. The waterfall is a bit hard to see due to all the overgrowth.

Great Zipline Course in La Fortuna!! - Great Zipline course and wonderful guides!! I guess I missed the review that warned of the hike with LOTS of steps before the zipping began, but once we got started, it was AWESOME!!! The whole set up was very professional and we felt safe and secure.

12 zip line trip - The zip line and the guides were awesome. It was a very fun experience. Highly recommended. Be careful of the pictures. They’re expensive for a few pictures but a great day overall.
