- Your tour begins with pickup from your Tamarindo area hotel or when you make your own way to the adventure park. Gear up with a harness and helmet and do a safety briefing before getting started—your guides may be entertaining, but safety is their priority. Then, fly down a series of eight zipline cables strung across the rain forest. Between cables, admire incredible treetop views and look out for wildlife like monkeys and tropical birds in their natural habitat. Break up the ziplines with a hanging bridge, Tarzan swing, and optional controlled free fall for the ultimate adrenaline rush. At the end of the tour, snack on fresh pineapple and bottled water before returning to your original departure point. Note: This tour is suitable for all participants ages 4 and up.

Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- M1502ZMleahc0 contributionsFamily friendly zip liningSo Much Fun! They really made our experience great! If you’re staying in or around Hacienda Pinilla , don’t miss out. Great experience.Written March 8, 2025
- sfoarde0 contributionsGreat adventure close to TamarindoSuper fun zip line experience! We were the only ones on the 1 pm slot — so we were not rushed . Both guides very helpful and safety oriented. They took pics and videos - ( with my camera - which was a nice perk !) Road to get there was unpaved and full of potholes ( even one area impassible due to flooding ) It would be treacherous if it was raining . You need to have a moderate degree of excercise tolerance for the activity . The overall experience was fun, exhilarating and very Costa Rica !Written November 9, 2023
- scottandmichelle0 contributionsBest experience in Costa Rica!!We had the best time here. Nicolas and his crew are wonderful!!! So accommodating, professional and friendly!!

The guides, Edwardo and Nano were very fun, respectful, and educational. They made sure everyone had a good time and took great photos and videos the whole time. The tour itself was amazing! Great equipment, wonderful views of flora and fauna. We saw lots of monkeys, iguanas and one tarantula!

We had a great time on this tour! My husband went and there was only one other person in the group which made it easy and quick. We went on several zip lines, hanging bridges, swing and bungee jump. It was very fun and we would definitely recommend it to anyone especially with some of the best zipline prices we’ve seen around Costa Rica!

Eduard and Nano were great guides and really encouraged our kids. It was the perfect level of adventure for a 5 and 7 year old- they loved the free fall and upside-down zipline. The day has been a central highlight and memory of their trip, as well as ours. Side note: we showed up without a reservation on a weekday- based on others' reviews. There was one group ahead of us but it was a reasonable wait in the shade of the forest. They were very accommodating, although I'm sure they prefer reservations so they can plan their day.

It’s a fun zip line through the rainforest. The guides were nice and friendly and made us feel welcome. They were so engaging that two hours felt like five minutes. At the end, they gave us fresh sweet watermelon, which I did not expect in water.

We’ve done a lot of canopy tours over the years in Costa Rica, but this one was special. We booked it on my son’s 18th birthday as a family to celebrate and it turns out we were the only ones there! We had the whole canopy playground to ourselves. They knew it was my son’s birthday and let him choose some fun ways to do some of the lines (upside down, superman, etc). The guides were incredibly fun which made it that much more fun for us. We really enjoyed the variety as well (normal zip lines, Tarzan swing, a “bungee” drop”. Guides served up ice cold water and pineapple after the tour. Highly recommend!

This was a huge highlight of the holiday. We wanted to ‘tick it off’ but there were many to choose from and wide price ranges and this was closest to where we were staying.
Great value - the guides were a real laugh and coaxed my family round to do stuff they would never have done on any other adventure.
It was difficult to be sure it was where it was (on the way to Avellanas beach from Tamarindo) as the advertised pickup was from Tamarindo town centre.
Really glad we went.

We chose the Zipline to celebrate our son's birthday. It was an amazing experience. The guides, Nano and Edouard, were fabulous - friend, efficient and very patient with me and my fear of the process. By the last zipline, I was ready to do it all over again. The different lines are thrilling, the hanging bridge is exciting and the bungi is a surprise. We highly recommend this tour to everyone looking to do a similar tour in the area - it was just such a special afternoon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our zipline experience with Pinilla Canopy Tour. One of the guides picked us up at our Tamarindo hotel on time and safely delivered us to the zipline site in about 30 minutes. The drive is quite bumpy as you near the site. Once there, the two guides equipped us with our harnesses. They gave us clear instructions on how the equipment worked and made safety a priority.
The various ziplines ranged from short to long and slow to fast. Great variety. Couples can zip together on one of the lines if they want. There is even a modest bungee jump off one of the platforms to get the adrenaline flowing.
After completing the course, we were able to spend some time relaxing, eating fresh pineapple slices, and reflecting on the experience. The guides were fun, and the overall experience was great.

This was an excellent ziplining tour! Our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids ages 11,12 and 15) loved the guides and all felt very safe. There is enough "excitement" for the kids and didn't cause a heart attack for parents! Location is a little tricky to get to, so plan your transportation ahead of time. Overall, we had a blast!

From start to finish, this tour was outstanding! The staff was extremely helpful and fun. They worked together seamlessly to give our family an unforgettable experience. The monkeys were all over the place so that was an added bonus! They took the f out of fear and put it in Family Fun! I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone in the area!
