A zipline canopy tour among the rain forest treetops in Costa Rica is an adventure of a lifetime that you don’t want to miss. It provides breathtaking views for young and old alike and is safe.

Not only will this be a memorable experience, but it will likely be something you want to do again. The incredible rush you feel traveling across the tree tops a hundred plus feet off the ground attached to a cable in a harness is an adrenaline rush of a lifetime.

There are many companies and locations to choose from in Costa Rica for a memorable canopy tour adventure, so be sure to do your research ahead of time. Some canopy tours are relaxing while others are extreme. Repelling with the canopy and the Tarzan swing are popular choices for adventure seekers.

Canopy tours consist of a series of platforms and cables placed strategically throughout the forest. As you travel from platform to platform, you will be connected to the cable with a harness and pulley. Some tour companies offer safety connections while you are standing on the platform waiting to move to the next location.

What better way to view the upper levels of a rain forest than by flying along harnessed to a cable gliding over the treetops. Sit back, relax and enjoy the view. If you have questions about age restrictions, people with disabilities, weight, or medical issues, check with your tour operator of choice prior to booking.
