Canopy Tours

Sky Adventures Arenal Park. This adventure park on the outskirts of Arenal Volcano operates two other parks on Lake Arenal and in Monteverde. Alpine-style gondolas transport you to the site, from which you can descend via 3 km (2 miles) of ziplines, hike through the cloud forest along a series of suspended bridges, or go back the way you came, on the tram. You'll pass from rain forest into cloud forest, and can fly above the treetops on Costa Rica's highest zipline. Adrenaline-seekers might opt for biking, canyoning, or tubing back to base camp. You can mix and match tours for a full-day adventure, too. 26 km (16 miles) west of La Fortuna, El Castillo, Arenal Volcano National Park, Alajuela, 21007. 2479–4100; 844/486–6759; www.skyadventures.travel. From $35. Daily 7–5..

Ecoglide Arenal Park. Unlike most zipline companies, Ecoglide adds an element of safety with their double cables and allows guests to request starting times outside of their regular tour schedule. There are 12 standard ziplines and a Tarzan swing at platform No. 8. For those who want to film while they fly, Ecoglide rents helmets with front camera mounting systems. As with all zipline tours in Costa Rica, reservations should be made in advance. Set tours start at 8, 10, noon, and 3. 3 km (2 miles) west of La Fortuna, La Fortuna, Alajuela, 21007. 2479–7120; www.arenalecoglide.com. $75. Daily 7–4.
