What to expect
What to Expect on Your Zipline Adventure
When you arrive, you’ll check in and meet your guides, who will give you a safety briefing and help you get your gear ready. After that, you’ll take a short walk through the rainforest to reach the first zipline platform.
Next, you’ll glide across 12 cables high above the rainforest. Each part of the course gives you a new view, from platforms above the trees to thick jungle and lookout spots where you might catch a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean.
Your bilingual guides will be with you the whole time, explaining each step and helping everyone, whether it’s your first time or you’re experienced. As you go, watch for scarlet macaws, toucans, white-faced monkeys, and other wildlife, though we can’t promise you’ll see them.
