Best zip line for kids or hesitant adults without sacrificing fun - Skyline Canopy Tour was absolutely excellent!
This was our first zip lining experience with our kids (7, 10, 12) and I couldn't have asked for a safer spot with more patient staff. There are 10 zip lines, starting with a few shorter lines at the beginning to help everyone get comfortable and then a few longer/ faster zips at the end. The equipment was all in great shape & they had a variety of harnesses to fit everyone from my very skinny boys all the way up to my tall brother.
My boys were scared- getting used to trusting a harness is hard!- but the staff were kind, patient, and let us talk through things with them. We also had a super hesitant adult in the group behind us and they were also very encouraging and patient with her.
By the end everyone was having a wonderful time- my kids even begged to go back & we ended up doing it again several days later.
Please note that once you start you must finish all of the zips! They are very transparent about this, but it's something to keep in mind with kids. Also, many places state you must wear 'closed' shoes- we clarified with the company that they mostly mean closed toe, so keen hiking sandals with a closed toe count!
They also have a photographer and pictures are available for purchase after your tour.

BEST ZIPLINING! - What an awesome experience! My husband and I and our teenage and eight year old daughters LOVED this experience! The LOVED the free fall (bungee cord attached of course) and wanted to do it again. The ten lines that you go on are consecutive so once you get going it goes pretty quickly. The guidea assist and move peopke along like an assembly line but they are also a very personable group. Dfeinitely get the pictures they take during the experience. It was fun and funny to see all the pics they took. This is the best ziplining we've done! Just make sure to allow more than the hour it states it will take. It's about an hour to complete the lines, but things can take a bit to get going waiting to start. Pura Vida!

Amazing Zip Line Experience for a Solo Adventurer - On a short trip to Costa Rica for a weekend wedding, I found myself with some time on a Saturday open and a strong urge to finally experience zip lining in the jungles of Central America. I've seen a lot of amazing videos of this activity online, and felt compelled to try. With no prior reservation and only an hour's notice, my Best Western team in Tamarindo where I was staying connected me to the fine folks at Skyline Canopy Tours, including a round trip ride. The destination was only 30 minutes each way from my hotel, and my friendly chauffeur Chris was great and connected the dots. For under $100 all in, it was the best experience I could possibly have expected for a solo adventurer.
After getting set up, I met my skilled and hilarious instructors Emmanue and Mr. Anderson, as well as Yelsin, my personal photog for this tree top excursion who documented this amazing canopy tour. The guys started with a tutorial of how the ropes would work, and then helped me get my zip line legs with an initial base drop over 50 feet down. I was all in from the start, and my heart was racing for the rest of the tour. It was awesome! We quickly zipped from one tree top to the next, expertly crossing the jungle in swift flight, like a hawk dropping from the sky in zero gravity! I had a blast with the guys and climbed up the trees, soared over amazing heights of jungle, saw the vast incredible living jungle, and even swung like the native howling monkeys myself while never feeling out of my comfort zone. It was incredible!
After completing the 10 zip line courses, I had to spring for the photo and video package so I could show my friends, and they even gave me a great deal on that too! I can't sing the praises of Emmanue, Mr. Anderson, and Yelsin enough, and I would definitely come again next time I'm in Costa Rica!

Must do for families with young children - The zip line tour was amazing! I had my reservations with having my 3 year old zip line, but she had a blast and so did my 6 year old. I have to give a shout out to Fabio, Emanuel, Carlos, Elmer, Wendel, Yelsin and Juan. They were so patient and excellent with my children. I never felt like anything was unsafe for my family. I would go back in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone who might be on the fence about zip lining with young children. My kids wanted to go back the next day!

Fun Ziplining! - We had a blast doing the zip lines. Great for kids and families, as they say, and the guides were helpful and fun. There is a fun surprise at the start - just don’t think and do it! Also they take pictures and video so bring money to buy them as we found it’s worth it since you can’t really have your phone out.

ZIP Adventure - This was one of the most fun zip lining tours that our group has taken. The bungee jump before was awesome. The zip line was different than any other.

All the guides were... - All the guides were amazing. Felt very safe and the guides were funny and great with kids. It was just right for those that may not be as adventurous and first time zip liners.
