Monteverde Zipline Canopy Tour

Fly over Monteverde's cloud forest on about 9 cables, including a 1.6 km Superman cable flown face down.

About 9 cables cross the cloud forest canopy, high above the treetops. The longest is the Superman cable, about 1.6 km, which you fly lying face down.

Before the first cable you get a full safety briefing and all the gear: harness, helmet and gloves. For extra adrenaline, there is an optional Tarzan swing of about 45 m.

Highlights

  • About 9 cables high above the cloud forest canopy
  • The Superman cable, about 1.6 km flown face down
  • An optional Tarzan swing of about 45 m

Know before you go

  • The weight limit is 115 kg, and 100 kg for the longest cables and the Tarzan swing.
  • Nothing loose on the cables: hats, bags and anything that could fall stay behind.
  • Rain is common in the cloud forest, so expect to get wet. Storms can pause the tour for safety.
  • Age and weight rules differ slightly between parks. I confirm them for your group when I book.

Questions

How does booking with Ekida work?

Send me your dates, how many people are traveling and what you love doing. I reply with a plan of tours and hotels that fit, and once you approve it, I confirm every booking for you.

Do I need to buy national park tickets in advance?

For the busiest parks, yes: Manuel Antonio, Río Celeste (Tenorio), Poás and Rincón de la Vieja sell tickets online only, often for set time slots, and they sell out in high season. When you book a tour with me I take care of them, and all I need is your passport number.

What should I pack?

A rain jacket, closed shoes, swimwear, a warm layer for Monteverde and Poás, insect repellent, sunscreen and a refillable bottle, since single-use plastics are banned in national parks. Bring your passport too: park tickets are checked against it.
