Canopy Tour for Senior Citizens

Planning a trip for June 2017. Taking my parents who are 69 years old and healthy. My mom wants to zip line but both tours I've been on in CR were quite tough for a senior citizen. Can someone recommend a location/canopy tour that would be accessible for her. No plans yet, so flexible on locations. Looking for any suggestions.

My cousin is 75 and I could easily see her doing the Sky Trek near Arenal. It is all down hill; no climbing. You would have to determine your parents' level of fitness.

Thank you! That's what I was looking for! Both that I have been on required some pretty strenuous climbing on muddy ground, I was out of breath and I'm in good shape. The last one we did was just outside of Puerto Viejo, definitely don't recommend it for seniors!

Sky Trek has a tram ride up, so that makes it easier. The lines are quite high, fast, and long. There are great views of the lake and volcano if the weather cooperates.
