2 adults and 2 13 year old boys had a fabulous experience! Never felt rushed and definitely liked the attention to safety. Our guides Pablo and Andres were fantastic, full of info about the trees and the jungle and focused on everybody having a great time. Guides also took lots of pictures and video with our cameras that the kids... More

Took time out of a Caravan Tour to do this and it was fantastic! It is an out of the way place but worth the trip! The guides were funny and helpful and patient. It was super safe and it was in a beautiful spot. Our ages ranged from 29 to 68 and we all LOVED it.

I went with my 2 kids, 12 and 14 years old. We had all done ziplining numerous times - this one was the best. The entire experience was well run.

This adventure is fun and you are pretty well strapped in so anyone can do it. There are some warm up ropes that are not that adventurous, If you get to scared a guide will take you across. The guides helping you are fun and great to talk to. They will probably show you a few things about the trees... More

I wasn't sure what to think of this place. I had a Groupon package with Desafio and they had some great activities, but this one wasn't run by them. We got picked up and went to the meeting area. It was just us and wasn't sure what to think. Later another couple showed up. So it was just four of... More

My boyfriend and I booked the combo rappelling and zip line package through Desafio and they used Canopy Visa Arenal for the zip line portion of the tour. Our guides (I can only remember Marvins name, sorry!) were so nice and knowledgable. They took great video and pictures with our camera. We were the only ones on the entre course!... More

We immediately wanted to do it all over again. The heights are staggering, the speed is, at times, heart-pounding, and the atmosphere is unforgettable. We were also lucky enough to have the entire place to ourselves... a rare treat, perhaps, but worth seeking out if at all possible. Afternoons in the rainy season are a great time (for anything in...

It was a great experience. The guides were nice and quite patient because I am very short and it was hard to jump up to be hooked on to the cables with all the paraphenalia I had on.
