Highlights

10 cables, hanging bridges, the Monkey Jump and the Quick Flight through a protected forest. Kids join from age 2.

This is the tour that made Skyline the family zipline of Guanacaste. Ten cables cross a protected dry-tropical forest that shades the Nimboyores aquifer, with platforms built into living trees and a route designed so that grandparents, parents and toddlers can all fly together.

Children from 2 years old do the tour. If a child needs help, a certified guide goes with them along the route. Nobody waits at the bottom: the whole family does the whole tour.

The first section strings seven ziplines above the treetops with panoramic views of the forest.
4Monkey Jump and ladder bridge
Among the Espavel trees you swing from tree to tree on a rope, then cross a ladder bridge to the next platform.

Everyone's favorite: the fastest, longest glide of the tour, fully immersed in the canopy.
