The zip lines were amazing! Great views and the guides were fun and they made sure everyone was safe and having fun! The waterfall hike was pretty but it’s very steep going down and very steep climbing back out. Not for the faint of heart!

    My wife and I celebrated our 29th anniversary ziplining and the experience was phenomenal. The hike to the top can be a little steep for some, especially if you recently went hiking the day before. Follow the directions from the staff and you will enjoy ziplining through the forest.

    Beautiful scenery but not impressed with the way things were operated. They did not make an effort to keep our group together, therefore missing the opportunity to watch each other zip. Also, not enough staff to get those across that don’t weigh enough leaving some in our group not able to make it across without manually pulling themselves across.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hello Courtney, Thank you for your review. We do our best to inform our guests about the operation before the tour by providing a safety briefing and demonstrating how to operate the equipment. Some lightweight individuals may struggle to get across certain longer cables. This is why we have trained guides available to assist throughout the tour. It's important for everyone to understand the operation to avoid situations where they can't make it across. This sometimes happens when braking is applied unnecessarily, which can occur with children, as their excitement may lead them to brake when it isn't needed. You visited on a busy day when we were operating at full capacity, and there were many children due to it being spring break. Unfortunately, we can't keep the entire group together, especially when someone in your group needed help crossing. This caused delays in our operation, and we had other tours scheduled that day, as well as zipliners waiting to go. We strive to keep the tour moving, so when someone is unable to cross, we assist them while also ensuring the rest of the tour continues. Thank you for your understanding.

    All the guides were very helpful putting on the harnesses, then showing us the safety video. One thing we would like to say with the 12 Zip line experience involved alot of up hill walking with possibly about 500 . The actual zip lines were amazing and great care was taken with our safety.

    Good tour

    Everett_G, Nov 2025
    The guides were great and the experience was fun. We were able to view the fortuna water fall among other scenic views. However, we would have benefited from know more about the hike and timeline before the tour started. The tour also stated that the total time is approximately 5 hours, which I found to be misleading considering the total time was around 1.5 hours long for the zip line tour.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Hello Everett, Thank you for your review! I wish you had responded to the confirmation messages I sent regarding the optional self-guided waterfall hike before the zipline. In those messages, I asked if you were interested in the hike and explained that it is available by reservation only. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a response to the three messages I sent. Regarding the tour duration, it can vary depending on group size and whether or not you participate in the hike. You visited during the low season, which meant smaller groups were present. Therefore, the tour only took 1.5 hours without the optional self-guided hike to the waterfall, which you did not confirm your interest in. If you review the product details, you will see that the hike is optional and requires a reservation. I would have gladly provided you with the hike details and added it to your reservation had you followed up on the three messages I sent after confirming your reservation. Best regards.

    This was a blast! The guides were great and it was a good amount of physical intensity. I really enjoyed it.

    Awesome!!

    We had lots of fun doing the zip lines. Feels very safe. Guides super helpful. The waterfall was amazing.

    Zipline Adventure a Must!

    Cathie_M, Nov 2024
    Wonderful day zipping through the forest with beautiful views. Especially the waterfall! Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Fly over the waterfall !

    ELIZABETH_J, Nov 2024
    This was the absolute best zip line experience . Guides were awesome, & the views spectacular. You need to be in good physical shape to “climb” up the steps to get to the top. The cables were long & you moved at high speeds .

    Zipping through the Rain Forest

    First time on a zip line. What an incredible experience! Our guides were knowledgeable, attentive, ensured our safety and made sure we were having fun! We did not feel rushed at all and there was a significant age span in our group. I would absolutely recommend this company to everyone. We all had a fabulous time!

    Great guide and zipline. Not an ideal way to see the waterfall from the base.

    christopher_p, Jan 2024
    Our zipline guide Pablo was outstanding as was the zipline portion of the day. However after the zipline we expected we would be able to easily access the waterfall base to swim. However it requires coordinating transport via tractor about 15 min one way and then a scenic but steep 30-45 min walk down to the waterfall then back up to the tractor drop/pick area. At the waterfall you have option of viewing the waterfall from a higher lookout or walking through the river around a bend to see it from ground level and swim. Most of our group didn’t see the waterfall from the base because they didn’t want to walk through the river (waist high) and get wet.

    Great fun for whole family!

    Awesome, fast zip lines. Fun for whole family. Definitely would do again with friends and family. 12 great zip lines.

    Memorable Experience

    The quality of service; the cleanliness and organization of equipment; the clean bathroom facilities, and the safety precautions.

    Amazing views

    Robert_M, Feb 2023
    Best zip line experience!! Guides Marcos and his partner were amazing and very helpful especially with a friend who needed to go tandem. Before or after we were able to go to the waterfall as well that we just zip lined over.

    Super fun family ziplining experience

    Janet_D, Jan 2023
    Fabulous views of the waterfall and volcano. Guides were excellent. Very exciting adventure. A couple of short hikes between cables. Fun walk across a hanging bridge.

    Must do!

    Sandra_M, Sep 2021
    Todo el recorrido en tirolina fue genial. Los momentos de pasar por encima de las cascadas son los más bonitos pero en general las vistas son preciosas. Los guías que me acompañaron (Estefani y Jean Carlos) merecen mi atención ya que fueron super atentos conmigo en todo momento, me explicaban cada tirolina cómo iba a ser y que debía hacer para mí protección, fueron super amables y amistosos en todo momento.
