The 9 Best Costa Rica Zipline Tours

1.Extreme Zipline tour in Monteverde

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 262 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

At Monteverde Extremo Park, you’ll ride more than 10 cables through Costa Rica’s cloud forest, including a 1-kilometer hands-free Superman line, an unusual enclosed cable, a huge Tarzan swing, and a bungee jump. Expect steep walks, changing weather, and a professional crew.

“This is an amazing experience to do in Monteverde, totally recommend it. The superman zip lines are incredible and also the Tarzan swing, the other ones are more normal and similar to other that you may have done in the past, but only for the ones that I mentioned is worth it. One thing that I would recommend is to do it on a day that the weather is favourable, I did it with strong winds and a bit of rain and this was a bit uncomfortable, so take that in consideration, also another recommendation try to bring dark or old clothes since they can get a bit dirty.”
