Ecoglide Canopy Tour with Tarzan Swing in La Fortuna

Zip between forest platforms on the Ecoglide canopy tour with Tarzan Swing near La Fortuna. This version combines eleven zipline cables, a suspension bridge and a swing that adds a different sensation to the cable crossings.

The canopy route is divided into two sections, with platforms set among the trees. Moving from one cable to the next gives the experience a sequence of departures and arrivals rather than one continuous ride. The setting is forest on the slopes of Arenal Volcano, with the activity centered on moving through the course rather than interpreting wildlife.

The Tarzan Swing changes that rhythm. Instead of sliding along a cable toward another platform, you step from a platform into a suspended swing over a forest clearing. That difference matters when choosing this variant: enjoying zip-lining does not necessarily mean you will enjoy the swing's initial drop and repeated movement.

At Tours in Arenal, we recommend considering the Ecoglide canopy tour with Tarzan Swing when both elements interest you. It suits travelers who want an adventure focused on zip-lining with an additional challenge, rather than a package built around several unrelated activities. The suspension bridge adds another crossing, but this is not a dedicated hanging bridges walk.

Comfort with heights and correctly fitted equipment are important. Families should distinguish between a child's eligibility for the canopy and the requirements for the swing, since the general minimum age does not establish participation conditions for every element. A child's experience may also involve riding with a guide rather than independently.

Plan for an active outing with time on platforms and instructions from the adventure team. Rain does not automatically prevent the activity, but thunderstorms or strong winds can affect operation. The appeal is the combination of cable crossings and swinging movement, with forest surroundings throughout the course.

• Bring sunscreen and rain protection.
• Participation depends on correctly fitted equipment.
• Children may need to ride with a guide rather than with a parent.
