Arenal Canopy Tour

Speed is the defining feature here. The canopy tour in Arenal by Arenal Canopy Adventure is built for travelers who want height, velocity, and continuous adrenaline. Every element of the circuit is designed to push the experience to its limit.

The Circuit: Speed and Scale

The route spans 8 zipline cables covering more than 2 kilometers. You'll move through 13 platforms — including 4 built directly into living trees. That design protects root systems and avoids invasive anchoring. Heights range from 20 to 90 meters (65–300 ft) above the canopy. The longest cable runs 600 meters (1,970 ft). At peak speed, riders reach 56 km/h (35 mph).

The launch starts from a 25-meter (80 ft) platform. By cable six, most guests find their full rhythm. Many choose to ride hands-free on the longer lines. The guide-controlled braking system handles the landing. Then comes the Tarzan Swing — a freefall leap from a high platform into a wide jungle arc. A final surprise element closes the tour at peak intensity.

Two Guides, Full Safety

Every platform on this canopy tour in Arenal is staffed by two professional bilingual guides. One secures the harness and manages group flow. The other controls braking and ensures clean landings. Equipment is modern and protocols are continuously reviewed. The experience pushes limits — safely.

The tour runs approximately 2 hours. Children from age 5 are welcome. Hotel pickup from La Fortuna is available. For pure adrenaline, this canopy tour in Arenal is the top choice.
