We did not zipline so the tour up the tram is purely for the view, and while the view was good I found that it's not really worth the money. The zip lining looked like it would be awesome so that would definitely change my mind. The hanging bridges were amazing for the wildlife so definitely sign up for that!

My husband and I signed up for the combo package. We started with the two hour rainforest hike with suspension bridges and saw a male and female quetzal right next to each other! Then we did the zipline/tram. The ziplining was incredible! Flying through the rainforest is exhilarating to say the least! There were 9 in total (not including the... More

We did the combo package and would recommend it. We did the hanging bridges first followed by the tram and then the ziplines. All of these were with trained and experienced guides. The bridges take you thru and over the tree tops to see the vast natural environment that lives there. We saw monkeys, lizards, many birds, mating humming birds,... More

I have never ziplined before, so perhaps my expectations were a little unrealisitc, but the ziplines were a little too slow for me. I would have liked something at higher speeds. However, other than that, it is a great attraction. I believe there are 9 ziplines in total which is a lot! The guides were really nice and friendly, and... More

Beautiful day for zipping. Our guides Elivis and Denis were excellent. Anyone can handle this, not too high, not too fast. Very well run attraction.

We did the combo package and started with the hanging bridge walk. The bridges are very high and some are quite long, so you get great views over the valley. As with any nature tour, you don’t know what you will see, but our guide pointed out some fun insects and plants and we were lucky to see a group... More

My partner and I were just there two days ago. It seems a little pricey (we booked it as a package) but it is well worth it. Fabulous views, great long rides, one half a mile and almost a minute long. The staff are great, very professional but lots of fun, Highly recommend

Bought the whole package- canopy, tram and zip lines....though the weather was not the most co-operative in the early am...the guides were informative and safety conscious. We had to wait to take the tram for the zip lines because of wind...the guides were FANTASTIC...loved it...have done zip lines in Guatemala and Belize hands down these were the most intense, height,...

Sky Adventures offers the Sky Tram (cable car to the top of the mountain, and back if you wish...) the Sky Zip (9 zip lines, all fast & furious...) and the Sky Walk (2 mile hike with 5 suspension bridges). We've zipped twice before in other countries, so we knew what to expect. The Monte Verde and Santa Elena area... More
