I'm scared of heights, but everyone else in my family went on the zip lines and had a blast! I was a little worried about my 8-year-old daughter, but she was fearless. My teenage boys wanted to go right back up top and do it again, and my husband likewise had a great time. Everyone got a briefing on safety... More

We booked the 9am Skytrek tour and ended up with approximately 25 people. This caused the platforms to be overly crowded, some of the wait times to be long, and this took away from the adrenaline rush Not sure why the company felt the need to cram this many people during the “green season.” For comparison many zip-line operators in...

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever done. It started to rain while we were taking the Sky Tram to the top. By the time we got to the top there was lighting, so we had to wait like 30 mins before we could start. As scary as it is, I felt safe the entire time.... More

I went last Sunday 5/20/12 and it was a blast. The staff was great, it turned out to be the most exhilarating & fun thing we did in CR. The only draw back was the $140 price for two. More

This was my favorite activity out of everything we did in Costa Rica! The guides made me feel VERY safe and comfortable and were great at explaining what exactly we needed to do. The rush of flying through the air is unexplainable. Highly recommended! More

Even for a gang of 55 to 60 somethings. Definitely worth the price and the special trip to get there. Would do it again in an instant. What a rush. More

Our travel agent CR Referrals booked our zip line nature walk with Sky Tram. Sky Tram and our tour guide picked us up promptly at our hotel and provided us with our agenda as we drove to their facility. This was my wife and I first time zip lining so we had some apprehension concerning our adventure. Our guide placed... More

My wife and I recently visited the Sky Tram & Zipline tour at Arenal. We had a beautiful day and were able to see the entire volcano and lake from both the cafe and from the upper observation deck at the end of the Sky Tram. It must have been our lucky day because we didn't have reservations, but someone... More

I highly recommend the Sky Trek - Sky Tram in La Fortuna. Ziplining has been on my bucket list for quite some time and I am so glad that I was able to do it in Costa Rica. The sky tram up had some beautiful views and the ziplining was so much fun. The staff was wonderful. Made it very... More

This place is great! You start off with a beautiful tram ride though the rainforest canopy until you reach the observation deck. Make sure to bring a camera because you can see some grea views of the volcano from there! From there, it's off to the zip lines which start with two practice runs followed by the highest line of...
