We are a family of four whom had never zip lined before ranging in age from our 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son all the way up to 55 year old Dad. Why here? Our reviews and conversations convinced us this was the safest AND the most breath-taking of the Costa Rican zip lining options. The Skywalk... More

We did both the Sky Walk and the Sky Trek and it was an awsome experience. The suspension bridges do put you face to face with the wild life - we were entertained by a troupe of howler monkeys cavorting in the tree right next to a bridge. We heard but didn't spot a quetzal but did see other birds.... More

We are glad we booked this tour even though it had a lot of similarities to Sky Trek Arenal. The nature walk of course was completely different. The employee who guided us showed no less enthusiasm as our guide in Arenal. Going on the Arenal zip line first you see the improvements immediately. Whereas, in Arenal you go from Platform... More

We only did the Sky Walk / Sky Tram tour. The sky walk through the cloud forest with our guide Laura was perfect. We walk through the primary cloud forest and over 6 suspension bridges ranging from 35mts high to 65mts high. The views are amazing and the birdwatching is great. It's a bit wet and chilly up there, so... More

Make a reservation online and it's convenience which you can set to have them pick you up from your hotel. We lucky that the... More

We had a couple of guides who were fantastic and our group of six people was ready for fun which we had. After a little worry about flying above the trees on a zipline I found that it was really a great thrill. Can't wait to do it again More

We did the guided tour ("trek") over multiple bridges with a terrific guide (Laura). She is sweet, smart and speaks excellent English. Showed us many things we would not have seen if we were walking in forest alone. She got us under a troupe of howler monkeys and we watched them at close quarters for a while (never felt she... More

This ziplining experience was tremendous! Can't believe how high up you are just for starters. Our guides, Leo and Mike, were great! They made it even more fun than we imagined! Rent the helmet-cam for some truly cool footage. Just great fun! More
