I had such an amazing time booking with ZiplineArenal.com . The Zipline experience was breathtaking and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Sarah Thompson, NY
Traveling with my family of 8 was a wonderful experience thanks to the excellent organization. From the moment they provided us with a private bus to pick us up at the Juan Santamaria Airport and take us comfortably to our lodging in San Carlos, everything was perfectly coordinated. During our stay, we enjoyed exciting ATV rides, rafting which we all loved, especially the kids. Also, the horseback riding excursion through the beautiful nature of the area was amazing. I would recommend this service. Adrenaline-filled activities, cultural experiences and exceptional customer service.

Our group of 17 people, composed of two families, We had a spectacular adventure organized through ZiplineArenal.com They provided us with a private bus with AC, comfortable for 20 people that made the whole airport pick up very comfortable and hassle-free. We decided to live an adventure full of adrenaline and nature with a tour that included the thrill of driving ATV vehicles, admiring beautiful rivers, riding horses through incredible landscapes and sliding on an exciting zipline circuit. An unforgettable experience to connect with the beauty of Costa Rica.
