The morning opens on the Papagayo Peninsula with wind off the Gulf, dry forest leaves whispering as harnesses click and helmets settle. Guests step from shaded staging platforms to the first zipline tower, a rope-and-steel highway that pushes you across gullies and coastal ridgelines. The trees dare you forward; thermals lift your line toward Pacific glimpses.

The morning opens on the Papagayo Peninsula with wind off the Gulf, dry forest leaves whispering as harnesses click and helmets settle. Guests step from shaded staging platforms to the first zipline tower, a rope-and-steel highway that pushes you across gullies and coastal ridgelines. The trees dare you forward; thermals lift your line toward Pacific glimpses.
Guanacaste’s dry forest—shaped by volcanic soils and a pronounced dry season—hosts the canopy infrastructure here. Human-made platforms thread through old growth and secondary scrub, a modern overlay on a landscape long used by coastal fishermen and ranchers. The peninsula’s black volcanic rock and compacted red soils create the ridges ATV routes follow, offering a contrast between aerial openness and tactile, dusty tracks.
Expect a tightly run, 3-hour combo: orientation, progressive zipline runs with trained guides, then a transition to ATVs with instruction and a guided loop across coastal trails and private property. The experience balances adrenaline with clear safety protocols—harness checks, breaking technique on ziplines, and ATV briefings before drivers take the controls.
Practical notes: wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and eye protection for the ATV; bring a reusable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen. Weight and age limits apply for safety; guides will fit gear and run a brief skills check. Weather can change timing—operators may cancel in heavy rain—but most travelers find the dry-season months offer optimal visibility and dust-managed trails. This combo is compact, accessible to moderately fit travelers, and delivers two distinct ways to read the Papagayo landscape—above the trees and on the soil.
Drivers must be 18 or older to operate an ATV; the zipline weight minimum is 60 lbs (30 kg) and maximum is 280 lbs (130 kg); children under the minimum must ride with an adult.
The operator provides transportation to/from major Papagayo hotels (Four Seasons, Andaz, Planet Hollywood, Marina Papagayo, Nekajui); confirm pickup point when booking.
The tour may be canceled for heavy rain or unsafe conditions; the operator’s policy allows a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before departure, and they may cancel on the day for safety.
No prior experience is required—guides provide a hands-on safety briefing and practice before the guided loop; novice drivers should disclose comfort level during orientation.
