Tyrolean activity in Costa Rica - Great experience to live intensely. The adrenaline is there! Nothing like to overcome his fear of emptiness😁 Still, not to be recommended to people with heart problems or really scary. The first zip line crossed, impossible to go down in any other way.... obligation to complete the course on the remaining 5 but the view is beautiful.

Fantastic, magical - A great time, a breathtaking view, on arrival we equip you, then we take a cable car that takes you to the level of a place where there is a hand or you can make pictures possibility to go down by the same means if you do not want to do the ziplines. Once finished, you can take a walk, or you can see a lot of animals. The staff is very kind and kind. There is also the possibility to order pictures of this magical moment that we receive by email 35 dollars for the family. In addition there are very beautiful pictures of animals and landscape

Fantastic - All fantastic! We loved the zip line circuit. They're a blast and the views amazing. Very well organized everything. The rain accompanied us during the walk through the forest and was magical. 100% recommended

Hanging bridges and ziplines tour - The scenic activities included in the ziplines or hanging bridges tour will amaze, educate and certainly thrill you!! On the hanging brides tour we saw sloths, exotic frogs and birds, vipers and monkeys. All pointed out and photographed by our guide!!! The hanging bridges tour is about 11k steps over 2 hours. Helps to be somewhat fit. The ziplines activity consists of 6 ziplines over and through the top canopy of the triple canopy rainforest. It was exhilarating and both are unforgettable!!!

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!!!

A Caution to Older Adults - My friend and I, both older adults, were scheduled for this experience y our Costa Rica based tour company. While the walk with the guide with a few hanging bridges were great, we were disqualified from zip lining due to my diagnosis of osteoporosis. I was shocked and so disappointed. That being said, I saw how high, long and fast the zips were, with only self-braking. It was good we didn't physically qualify to zip. as we could have sustained an injury at our age. We did get to ride the gondola for a spectacular view and enjoyed a similar view at their lovely restaurant. I am in excellent physical condition and I'm in my late 60's. We found a more compatible zip line option later on in our trip in Manuel Antonio. Later I met several tourists who participated in this zip line experience. They said it was intense, aggressive and not really geared towards the older adult.
