Highlights
  • Arenal Canopy Adventure (Athica) - Embark on an exhilarating journey that begins with a brief 30-minute commute from La Fortuna to our zipline location, Arenal Canopy Adventure.

The cables vary in elevation from 20 meters (65 feet) to 90 meters (300 feet) and in length from 70 meters (230 feet) to 600 meters (1970 feet), enabling speeds up to 56 km/h (35 mph).

Awesome Zip Line and Tarzan swing! - Valerie and Samuel were our guides. They were a blast! They explained everything. We were impressed with all the safety measures. We liked how each zip line started where you finished the one before. There was no hiking to the next one. Beautiful views! And the Tarzan swing is a must!! They also took great pics and videos that you can buy at the end. They will email you a link for all. Fabulous experience!

Family Trip - Operators were very safety-conscious and fun. My 10-year-old kids and I had a great time! Bought the pictures and videos afterwards and they arrived through email, nice keepsake!

Worth It but Scared - We are parents of teens and very hesitant of this activity. As it turned out, we are so glad to give this a try. No doubt, added to our adventurous memory book. The guides are very helpful and awesome attitude. Thank you!

The MOST fun experience! - This was my family’s most fun experience! I was so nervous but it was the most enjoyable and wish it would’ve lasted longer. The staff made everything so safe but made it fun at the same time. Valerie was friendly and so reassuring- an absolute must during your trip!

Private tour Christmas day. - Great private tour for our family of 5 (3 college age boys) Valery and Ervin were awesome. The tarzan swing and the last and longest is zipline were the highlights. Do a private tour so you are not having to wait in line with 20 people. Great way to spend Christmas morning with the family.

Good…but not great - I’ve done zip lining before and this tour wasn’t the best of the ones I’ve done. It felt very assembly line - like we were just cogs in a machine and the people helping were just rushing us through. I never felt unsafe, but it just didn’t feel like any of the people cared if we were enjoying ourselves or not. They barely said hello or asked us how we were. I wanted to take pictures of my kid coming down the line after me but I felt rushed to get off the platform. Also the tour says it includes bottled water and there are only small paper cups available at the end that hold maybe two sips. Wear sunscreen! You are very exposed on a lot of the lines while waiting. Overall this tour is good, but it’s not great.
