Pure adrenaline and big views: the rainforest, the Arenal Volcano and Arenal Lake.

Zipline Arenal runs daily tours in the forest of Arenal Volcano: a zip line circuit, a waterfall rappel and a horseback ride. Every tour starts with a safety talk and uses certified equipment.

Each tour includes a tractor wagon ride and a visit to Maleku village. For groups, we also help with planning and private transport from the airport.
