Canopy Tours

Visiting Costa Rica without experiencing a canopy tour is probably as big a crime as visiting Costa Rica without hitting the beach.  This patented Costa Rica adventure has you traversing the treetops at heights up to 140 meters via zip lines up to 800 meters long. 

So what is all this talk about canopies and zip lines anyway?  The canopy of the rainforest is the cover formed by the leafy upper branches of the trees.  Zip lines are stainless steel or high strength nylon / Kevlar blend cables that stretch from raised platform to raised platform on large tree branches.  A pulley system is used to transport the adventurer from one platform to the next.  Depending on the tour, you will traverse between seven and twenty-one zip lines at speeds up to 60 km/h.  This adrenaline pumping Costa Rica adventure has you literally feeling as though you're flying through the rain or cloud forest. 

The original canopy tour was built in the Monteverde Cloud Forest as a unique way to observe the mesmerizing forest and accompanying flora and fauna in the area.  Since then, canopy tours - also called zip lines, Sky Trek or Omegas - have sprouted up in virtually every region of the country.  The canopy tour begins with a hike through the forest or a ride on an aerial tram to the first platform, providing the opportunity to learn more about the ecology of the area and observe the flora and fauna up close and personal.  Then, take to the heights as you soar through the treetops on miles of zip lines while taking in the majestic views. 

Ranging anywhere from two to five hours, canopy tours are fun, safe, unforgettable adventures in nature.  All equipment and safety training are included with your tour.  We work with the most experienced, reputable Costa Rica canopy tour companies in the country, selecting one or two operations in each region.  Your fun, informative, bilingual naturalist guide will work hard to make sure your Costa Rica canopy tour adventure is a safe and memorable one.
