Canopy in MA or Arenal?
 
Which Site would be better to do a canopy tour? I am staying at Villas caletas near MA and Hotel Paraiso in Arenal. Any company suggestions would be helpful also. thanks in advance for any suggestions!

We did the Canopy Safari in Manuel Antonio (if you mention Canopy Safari, I think that's a company, but I'm not sure, we booked through our hotel.)

It had 9 zip lines and 3 repels. The guides were fun and knowledgeable and the course was well put together. My husabnd used to build ropes courses, so I took his word for it! I felt safe on that course.

We stayed at Arenal Paraiso, and I heard their canopy tour was kind of boring. But we didn't do it, so it's heresay.

I just used Canopy Safari in MA & they were great. I felt safe, though a little nervous on the first rappel, but they made it fun, the guides were great.

Does Arenal not have as good a canopy as Manuel Antonio? I guess i could just do both but wanted a suggestion. Thanks for them so far!

I did Canopy Safari also and loved it. I did not go to Arenal on my trip and cannot comment on it but I feel as though I've seen other posts where people commented that they thought the Arenal canopy tour was great. Try a search.

Villa Caletas is not that close to MA. Maybe a couple of hours. I think to make your decision you may want to contact Villa Caletas concierge and ask how far the ride is from there to the Canopy Safari tour.
