One of the zip lines that will allow small kids. One of the guides zipped down with my 7 years kid. She is usually a scary cat but enjoyed it a lot since she felt safe. The Tarzan swing is the best (the small kids are not allowed nor will they want it to try :-D )

My face hurt from smiling. It's exciting. It's beautiful. It's safe (I think), You're at the top of the trees and jungle...and you're flying down like a bird! And, one of the BEST parts is their unique, Tarzan Swing in the middle of the jungle. Do it! Oh...one thing...they never said anything about needing to walk a few flights of... More

I've zip lined before in Kauai and Catalina Island and I feel the Ecoglide zipline in Arenal is the most efficient I have to say. Other ziplines have two guides, whereas on this one you get 6-7 guides, so the ratio for guide to tourist per person better. They provide a locker and tefreshment during the tour. In a span... More

We felt safe and the guides were excellent. They picked us up at our hotel. DO the tarzan swing. We had one person chicken-out. It was really fun.

My 13 year old daughter and I (I'm 52) had a blast in the rain. The staff is great, do the Tarzan swing - it will get your blood going - not that you will need it at that point - but it is really fun. The views are incredible and you'll kick yourself if you don't do this type... More

It poured during the morning, but the rain lifted as soon as our short training was over. Great time and great views!

I am so disappointed about how they have cut off many trees. I am very sad about this. I had the idea Costa Rica was respecting nature but this is not true. They are also cutting off trees home of LAPAS or MACAWS so to make a road by SAN JUAN River, devastating the area and leaving most animals there... More

Ecoglide was FABULOUS! Our middle child was very distressed about attempting zip lining but the guides all took it in stride and got her to the practice zip - after that it was ALL smiles! they were so wonderful - and the Tarzan swing is not something to pass up - I am extremely afraid of heights but I made...

The experience of zipping very high up through the trees is just awesome. The staff was very professional and you felt safe... as long as you don't look down from the tree stands that you zip between tall trees from! LOL. I must say that walking uphill to several of the tree stations requires you to be in good physical... More

they start you off small & work up too the 500m wire. You can quit if you get scared, but once passed a certain point there is no turning back spectacular views. Again saw very few monkeys here
