My boyfriend and I did the zip-lining with Wingnuts Canopy Tours in April and had an absolute blast. The brothers who took us on the tour were so fun and kind. They made the experience a memorable one!

My husband and I recently did a zip-line tour with Wingnuts. We loved it! The guides were friendly and knowledgable about the wildlife in the area. My husband enjoyed seeing lots of different birds. There are 10-12 ziplines and a rappel at the end of the tour. With the two of us and a family of 4, the tour lasted... More

Wingnuts is a long time running family business. They know what they are doing and are very professional. We've never done zip lines before as the dicey ones in Mexico look like a decapitation waiting to happen. These folks are very patient, explain the procedures as often as necessary, and take great pride in the maintenance of their equipment. While... More

I've ziplined in Canada and Honduras - every one is different but these guys were great! We had fun, the group we happened along with were all fun as well. Manu and Yosha (probably butchered those names up!) are adorable... they answered all our questions and were very intent on our safety.

Me and my wife did this tour just this past week and it was definitely the most boring canopy tour we've ever done in costa rica. We felt that we were rushed through the whole course. I guess the tour guides had somewhere else to be that day or something. And not much to sightsee here when compared to other... More

It's perfect for kids! They had a special little harness for my 40 lb. 6-yr-old. (They also had a special harness for the 250 lb. big guy in our group!) Our 10 yr old is reserved and wary of new situations and she was fine! There was our family of 4 and 3 others, with 2 guides. It was relaxed... More

The tour my family took was exactly what we expected, and was a great experience. The company is run by a family that moved from Canada/United States to Costa Rica 20 years ago. They're friendly and professional. The zip lines were pretty standard for Central America or the Caribbean, not too long. The guides gave detailed instructions, and the equipment... More

We have had many friends go and it has been fantastic for 5 years now. Had an 69 year go and while he hates heights he had no problem and came back grinning from ear to ear. Bought the tee shirt and have loved every tour. Don't miss it and drop the first review.

I was terrified to go but really wanted to try. Manu and Freddy really put me at ease. Even if you are scared to try ziplining. Try it with this company I promise you will not be disappointed.
