Arenal Volcano Canopy Zip Line Tour. One of the vogue attractions in Costa Rica for many tourists is to take a real Canopy Tour. This canopy is at the foot of the mountain range where Arenal volcano is located. The view of the volcano from within this rain and very humid forest is spectacular. The tree top canopy has twelve platforms and ten zip lines. The platforms are at an elevation of 150 feet. The shortest cable is 195 ft. and the longest is 1200 ft. It makes the adventure more exciting and high adrenaline.

The adventure begins when you arrive at the stables and the guides give you a safety briefing. You then get fitted up with your equipment, mount up, and ride 45 minutes through a pasture and wooded area that is host to monkeys, sloths, toucans, and other birds. When you arrive at the canopy, you are given the balance of the necessary equipment. Then we continue with a short hike through the forest where a guide gives an informative narration about the forests, plants, and trees that prevail in this kind of tropical area.                                                    Sometimes it is possible to see several species of animals, such as: white faced and howler monkeys, rodents, and a great diversity of birds, as well as an enormous variety of orchids and canopy plant life. The trees are adults that tower above the platforms.

This activity can also be done with no horses. If one does not wish to horseback ride and would prefer just doing the Canopy Tour, please advice the agent at the time the reservation is made. The total time required for horseback riding and the canopy tour is approximately 4 hours 30 minutes. The Canopy Tour with out the horseback riding takes 3.5 hours. The tree top canopy tour not only offers a great adventure but also an opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. On each platform the adventurers also have a chance to observe the forest from different angles and to photograph the beautiful landscapes. All the platforms are designed for observation of wildlife and not to damage it.

Trees like Cocora ( billia hippocastanum ), Monkey’s Comb ( apeiba membranacea ), and Capulín ( mortoniodendron apetala ) are just a few of the trees that you will see.

Canopy at Manuel Antonio, Quepos. Canopy Safari is the pioneering canopy tour operator in the Southern area of Costa Rica.  The company built its first canopy course in 1997 with the help of a team of experts who build high ropes courses in the United States and in Europe. Our tour begins with an amazing drive through the rainforest out to our canopy site.  During the ride there are many stops for everyone to learn about the flora and fauna of the area. Our local bilingual guides have a vast knowledge of the area and love to share the many secrets that the rainforest holds with our clients.   The canopy site is located approximately forty-five minutes from Manuel Antonio, in an area called Paso Real.  Here we have a brand new ranch house with full facilities, located next to a pristine river, this is where we serve a full breakfast or lunch (depending on tour time). A spectacular river is the backdrop for these platforms carefully built in the canopy of the rainforest.  Clients are able to traverse from tree to tree and platform to platform using pulleys on horizontal traverse cables, as they sail through the treetops of the tropical rainforest canopy, and over the trails far below.  Our canopy course consists of 18 platforms, 10 “zip lines”, and 2 rappel lines, one suspension bridge and a " Tarzan wing".   We are the only canopy tour in Costa Rica with a Tarzan swing, which adds much more excitement for the clients.  Our expert guides assist the clients in this exciting journey through the different layers of virgin and secondary rainforest.  They point out and explain the many different types of flora and fauna; from poison dart frogs, to the “walking palm tree”.  As a result; at the end of the tour our clients are able to walk away with a newfound knowledge of Costa Rican wildlife.
