There are so many canopy tours in Costa Rica so we decided to ask a local resident. Without hesitation, Jaco Canopy Tours was the response. My husband and I booked the first tour of the day and we were the only two (great). The staff was very friendly and we went through our safety review. We have ziplined in Maui... More

This is really the quintessential Costa Rica experience. The views are breathtaking, the ride is exhilarating and the tour guides are exceptional. Not only are you riding through the trees instead of just above them, the ride affords you views of the beach as well! Don't miss it!! More

Jaco Canopy Tours was my first experinece zip-lining, and it was absolutely fantastic! You go from platform to platform after the initial 100 steps that are pretty much straight up. But once you start on the first line, you just get to ride the zip lines (12 of the them) all the way to the bottom. The views are great... More

We chose this tour because we wanted to zipline THROUGH the trees. Based on the Facebook videos, it looked like this was the tour for us, and in fact, I'm happy to report that we were not disappointed. The lines run right through the trees as shown! The staff was professional and patient, cracking jokes and making those that might... More

What an amazing place we saw monkeys on the short hike to the top platform. We felt very safe the entire time and everything was explained thoroughly to us before we left the base camp. The views were breathtaking and the lines were fun and fast two of them in particular were extremely fast! The staff was helpful and all... More

Just walking in the airport in Costa Rica, it seems like doing a zipline tour while you're in the country is mandatory. On top of that, there seems to be an abundance of canopy tours in the area. Pretty much everywhere we went in Jaco, someone was pushing a different canopy tour. One night when we were having sushi we... More

I've done ziplining before and have done faster and longer lines, but Jaco Canopy Tour actually ziplines you through the rainforest instead of above it. You're literally in between trees and was a ton of fun. It's 12 lines and each one a new experience. It's a short but tiring hike to the first platform, but once youre there, the... More

Everyone is unbelievably friendly first off. The guides are so knowledgeable it makes you feel safe. (Half of them do technical rescue stuff and volunteer rescue during major incidents.) The views are sick and we got to see monkeys, tree frogs, toucans, iguanas, parrots, and this plant that sleeps for an hour if you touch it. If I had two... More

When I was preparing with all the equipment, I didn't know it were 14 lines... OMG! I was so scared! but it worth every sense of fear up there... the view, the crew and preparation is very professional and so 200% recommended. Im from Costa Rica, and have 2 years living at Jaco beach, and it was my first time... More
