We went along to the Mindo Canopy Adventure even though we were unsure given reviews and we had chatted to a local guy who had said that two people died last year and the government had been up to check providers in the start of 2013. We took the view that we would go and look on the basis that... More

It is quite a long, hot walk out to the start of the zip lines but the price of taxis is a little crazy ($4 pp each direction). We had never zip lined but were given a very brief induction in Spanish. The zip-lining itself was great and the guides were friendly enough but we did feel as though we... More

I've zipped before, but this was the best at about a tenth the price of most others. Well done. Very professional. With a focus on safety. I will definitely be back!

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2013

The guides were friendly and the views were breathtaking, but it was not very safe, despite the claims that they are internationally certified. The guides rarely bothered to screw the carabiner on, and never flipped it over. They should run the safety line on the top cable, but simply attached it behind the main line on the main cable. Not... More

Thanks for your comment and I apologize for the guides,but some things you have to now, it is a mistake of the guides do not close the carabiners of the safety line, this failure on the part of the guides will be severely punished. It is not necessary to flip the carabiners, do not put the secondary safety line on... More

This is the 4th country we have zip lined in. This was the best course at the best price. My wife & I were escorted by 2 guides. They did not wait to send us off with a larger group. The guides were competent & very friendly. Safety was their 1st concern. They informed us of various poses we could... More

Great views, guides, and exhilarating experience. We even had some rain and it was still good. The hour long experience was well worth it.

13 ziplines for $15 bucks is a great deal and it seemed pretty safe. The final zip line was a great way to finish, a long line over a large valley. They provide a short training in english and spanish, and then send out out with a few guides. The walking around between zip lines can get a little tiring,... More

I've done zip lines before but this was really incredible. You have to try it. Btw, I would definitely recommend doing superman, but not mariposa (will make sense when you are there)

The hiking trails and waterfalls are wonderful in the Mindo area. The cloud forest covers the city in the morning clearing by 9 am to sunshine and a perfect 67-70 degrees in July, perfect for hiking. Around 4 pm the clouds roll back in and may bring some sprinkles, along with the large birds from the mountain tops to eat... More

We enjoyed the zip lines in Mindo. We bought our tickets just before entering Mindo at a house on the right. (If you don't buy them there, another spot sells them just before the little bridge on the way.) The Tarzan swing wasn't working when we went. It rained for about half of our time, so be sure to wear... More
