Tourists ageing in range from ninety years old to as young as six years old can experience this thrill of a lifetime.

There is something about the rush of zipping through the forest above the treetops on a cable connected to a pulley. The pure adrenaline rush you get is unexplainable as well as one you will never forget. There are many tour companies to choose from so do your homework before booking your tour.
There are many different tour companies to choose from for your canopy adventure, so be sure to do your research. There are many different options available in the way of the canopy adventure, so if you are looking for relaxed or extreme, it’s out there. Repelling with the canopy is one popular choice and the Tarzan swing is another popular option that those adventure seekers.
A Canopy tour consists of cables attached to trees which are surrounded by platforms throughout the forest. A guide at each end of the cable helps you clip your pulley, which is already attached to your harness, and off you go. Some of the tour operators take an extra precaution by clipping you to a safety cable while you are standing on the platform.
There is an age and weight restrictions but I have never heard of anyone being turned away because of weight. The youngest that I know that has enjoyed this adventure was six years old. However, all companies have varying policies so it’s best to ask prior to booking your tour.
Prices range from about $40.00 U.S. and up depending on which tour company you choose.There are canopy tours in Herradura, which is on the Central Pacific coast, close to Jaco beach. This incredible spot offers spectacular views of the gulf of Nicoya and Pacific Ocean as you are soaring through the sky.

Horseback riding tours to your first canopy, premium full day adventure tours or just the Original Costa Rica canopy tour, it’s all here.

If it’s just a quiet laid-back walk you are looking for then you have to experience either the Monteverde or Santa Elena Reserve. Taking a nice walk on one of the few suspension bridges to get a view from above the trees of the forest bottom is spectacular! There are many spectacular sights to be seen from these incredible heights.
As with any vacation, it’s best to always be prepared. When visiting Costa Rica remember that we are very close to the equator here and it’s best to bring lots of sunscreen.
