Exhilarating Fun!

5.00We loved this experience ! We did the 12 cables. Be aware that there is a hike up steps to the cables that could be challenging if you have knee or hip issues. They start you out on shorter cables to practice your technique before tackling longer faster cables. Our guides were professional and focused on safety. We had lots of fun. It was thrilling and the views were stunning! Highly recommend.
11/10 BEST ZIPLINE EXPERIENCE IN LA FORTUNA
Andrea S,,Dec 12, 2025

5.00This was easily one of the most memorable and fun parts of our time in La Fortuna! The line over the waterfall was one of the best moments of our trip. Spectacular view that you can’t get anywhere else in La Fortuna! My boyfriend and I did the BIG AMA package, which included all 12 ziplines. The hike to get to the top was tougher than I expected, but SO worth it. It was maybe 15-20 minutes uphill, but there were water stations along the way- which helped. One thing I recommended is either leaving your phone in one of the complimentary storage lockers at the park entrance, or having it completely secured to your body at all times. I kept mine in my fanny pack, and took it out twice to film. I had my phone secured to a lanyard that I wore around my neck, and tucked it into my sports bra until I was ready to film. Be very careful if you’re doing this! There is also a photograph who will get dozens of photos of everyone in your group through the session, and you can buy the photo packages from him at the end. Beware of the pricing though! He originally told us that it would be $25/person for the photos, so I walked away, and then he said he’d sell us both of our photos for $25 total. They are willing to negotiate on this! Also, you can totally wear shorts. I remember reading on the website that they don’t recommend them, but shorts are totally fine. However, you do NEED to wear close toed shoes. They will not let you go if you don’t have these on! I also recommend wearing clothing that is comfortable but not too bulky, as it can get uncomfortable when you’re strapped in. Overall, 11/10 experience and I would go back to Arenal Mundo Aventura in a heartbeat!
Fantastic

5.00This is an incredible experience, you truly feel like you are flying. The guides are absolutely top-notch: helpful and great at making you feel safe and comfortable. My husband is terrified of heights and wanted to cancel at the last minute. I convinced him to try, and I am so glad I did. With 12 lines, the first four are short and perfect for getting comfortable. By the time he finished those, he didn’t want to stop and was ready to go again. If you are nervous, the guides will even ride with you. Keep in mind that if you are doing the 12 line one there is a hike involved. No hiking for the 7 line one.
Great adventure in the rainforest

5.00An exhilarating experience through the rainforest. If you love a little adventure and don’t mind walking up a lot of steps you will love this experience. You do go over 2 waterfalls and the guides were very friendly and ensured you completely understood all safety protocols. There are photographers to capture the mementos for a very reasonable price, but you can carry a small fanny pack and bring your phone to capture moments also. Pickup and drop off was very quick and convenient.
Professional and safe family fun!!

5.00Age range 10-70, including my daughter with Down syndrome. I was the most terrified before the 1st zipline, and the guides put me at such ease — I enjoyed myself thoroughly, and our teens LOVED the experience! We had a personal guide, Brandon, for our daughter with Ds, and he did a phenomenal job encouraging her and helping her (and her twin brother) fully enjoy the experience!! We had a big group and took 4 hours, and count on a bit of a hike in the beginning.
