The first cable opens like a door to the forest—low to the ground, wind picking at leaves, the guide zipping ahead to show the line. Riders clip in, hear a brief safety talk, and push off: seven runs slice through secondary dry tropical forest, each landing on solid ground so even nervous first-timers can step back and breathe between lines.

The first cable opens like a door to the forest—low to the ground, wind picking at leaves, the guide zipping ahead to show the line. Riders clip in, hear a brief safety talk, and push off: seven runs slice through secondary dry tropical forest, each landing on solid ground so even nervous first-timers can step back and breathe between lines.
This part of Nosara sits on the Nicoya Peninsula, an area shaped by coastal uplift and volcanic soils that support drought-tolerant trees and vibrant birdlife. Guanacaste culture mixes brash surf towns with quiet ranching history; local guides often share stories about the coastline and the town’s gradual turn to eco-tourism. The course includes cables from about 100 to 650 meters, plus novelty “snowboard” and “surfboard” lines that change the ride posture and view.
Practical guidance: the shared tour runs roughly 90 minutes, suitable for ages 7 and up. Equipment and parking are provided; manual and automatic braking systems let riders control speed or rely on the automatic stops. Expect short walks between platforms on packed dirt and occasional roots; the operator limits groups to around 15 for steady flow. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring sun protection and insect repellent, and plan for the dry season (Dec–Apr) for clearer skies. Cancellation is possible up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund; the operator may cancel in bad weather. Fresh fruit is offered at the end to reset energy.
This course offers controlled thrills with practical design—ideal for families, mixed-ability groups, and anyone who wants canopy perspective without extreme heights.
Children age 7 and up can join; staff assess each rider during the safety briefing to confirm readiness.
Courses include both manual and automatic braking—riders can choose to control their speed or rely on automatic stops.
The full experience is about 90 minutes from gear-up through the final line, including walking between platforms and safety talks.
Operators reserve the right to cancel for heavy rain or lightning; bookings canceled at least 24 hours ahead qualify for a full refund per policy.
