You will traverse 11 cables between the trees to enjoy magnificent views of the rainforest and the Arenal volcano in the background.

It was POURING rain the whole time and I had a blast! “Cookie” was great and so friendly. He made the experience and 11/10. Great views even in the rain - I had a toucan fly over me on one of the ziplines! The Tarzan swing was extra fun and a great addition. I recommended getting the photo package at the end because those images turned out great.

A really good experience. Very well run and the team were all so experienced and it all was very safe. The Tarzan Swing was an experience!!!

We loved it!

Brittany_K, May 2025

Our kids (9, 11, 12 years old) said this was their favorite thing we did our whole time in Costa Rica! Only the 9 year old did the Tarzan Swing, the older two were too nervous. But they loved everything else. Totally recommend!

Huge kudos to your 9-year-old for taking on the Tarzan Swing — that's brave! And we're so glad the whole family had fun with the rest of the experience. Thanks again for recommending us. We hope to welcome you all back for more adventure in the future! Warm regards, The Ecoglide Arenal Park Team

Best zip line in Arenal

Taylor_B, Mar 2025

The zip line experience was out of this world. Also the guides were super friendly, funny, and helpful. Also I screwed up our pick up time and the company squeezed us into a later time at no charge. I would highly recommend this operation.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Taylor, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had an amazing zipline experience and that our guides made it even more enjoyable. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Best regards,

Perfect for families with kids. Guides were helpful and nice. My kids ages range from 3-12. All enjoyed.

too expensive and no fun

Ina_Z, Jan 2025

Sorry, but this action was no fun at all. We've done canopying several times before, but this time, my goodness, it was a mass event. Of the 2 hours you spend there, you fly for about 15 minutes and spend the rest of the time waiting. We spent 45 minutes waiting on the Tarzanswing alone. Until everyone is through and then the team doesn't turn up and quite honestly, that's no fun. Why don't you make smaller groups so that it's really worth the money?

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hello, _Z! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Our goal is to provide every guest with a memorable and enjoyable adventure, and we regret that the waiting times impacted your experience. During peak times, the popularity of our activities, like the Tarzan Swing, can sometimes lead to delays, but we are actively exploring ways to improve this by optimizing group sizes and streamlining operations. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to show you a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Thank you for visiting Ecoglide Arenal Park! Best regards, The Ecoglide Arenal Park Team

Fun

Deepti_S, Dec 2024

Ziplines and Tarzan swing were fun. One of friends dashed into the next person as they didn’t wait until she was off the rope which made us worry about their signaling process. People were all good though and helpful.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the zip lines and Tarzan swing. Safety is our top priority, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our guides are trained to ensure proper signaling, but we will review this to improve the experience for all guests. We appreciate your visit and hope to see you again! Pura vida! 🌿😊

All around wonderful

Do it!

Kate_B, Jun 2024

We selected this experience because the one recommended to us was booked, and we are so glad this happened! It was a great location near downtown, so it was very easy to get to. It is a well-oiled machine. The guides are fun- cracking jokes and making everyone comfortable. A younger child from another party was nervous, and they took their time ensuring she was comfortable. The Tarzan swing was AWESOME and worth the additional expense. Our family was the only one that paid for it; others saw us do it and wanted to add it. However, one of my sons said he is never doing that again! lol. We had the best time and highly recommend it!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Kate, Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you chose our activity and that it turned out to be a highlight of your trip. Our location near downtown makes it convenient for guests, and we're glad you found it easy to access. It's wonderful to know that our team, with their fun and friendly approach, made everyone feel comfortable, especially the younger children who might have been a bit nervous. The Tarzan swing is indeed a thrilling addition, and it's great to hear that you found it worth the extra cost. Your story about your son's reaction made us smile – it's those memorable moments that make trips special. We're thrilled that your family had such a great time and that you highly recommend our experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future! Best regards, Ecoglide Arenal Park
