“Pros: the ziplining experience itself was fun and safe, through a beautiful canopy led by knowledgeable and skilled guides. We saw a toucan! Cons: A whole host of things went wrong that could've been easily avoided with a little more organization. For starters, the start of the day was supposed to be at 8am, but we weren't picked up until 8:30am. It was a one-hour drive from our pickup spot in downtown La Fortuna to the main meetup point. Our driver was noticeably sick (coughing up phlegm and sneezing constantly), yet didn't bother to put a mask on or roll down the van windows. Secondly, we arrived at the meetup…”

We went to the front of the line and had transportation back to the top were the rest of our group was taking a nature tour. We didn't have to wait for all the cruise tour busload to finish.

“Amazing experience. We did the zip lining/ rappel and tubing down the rapids plus hot springs at the end. So much fun. We have done zip lining several times in the past and these lines seemed really fast. The tour guides on both experiences were amazing. The tubing in the rapids has been the highlight of our trip so far. My group was my family of six ages, 21, 23, 24, 43, 44 and my mom 67! The compassion that was shown to my mom on the rapids is un heard of. She flipped over (which most of our group did) and one of the tour guides said “(Mama) I’m…”
