Activities

Rev up those engines and slide into this winsome adventure! A thrilling off road ATV expedition up hills and along forests trails, through streams and mud combine with a high flying aerial zip line extravaganza soaring across a forest of huge Guanacaste trees, home to monkeys, iguanas, exotic birds, and so much more.

You’ll begin this half day adventure by being picked up from where you are staying in Playa Flamingo,Playa Tamarindo or Potrero area. Be sure to wear clothes that can get dirty! You’ll also need enclosed footwear such as sneakers or hiking shoes. You’ll be met by your friendly guides who will take you over to the fleet of Honda ATVs. Here, you will learn the safety instructions before donning your helmet and straddling your ATV for a test ride.

Next, venturing over the varied terrain of a tropical lowland dry forest, you’ll cross streams and climb hills navigating your machine through sand and mud. This course runs through a privately owned wildlife preserve, the result of a highly successful reforestation project. Surrounded by giant Guanacaste trees, you’ll experience the sights and sounds of a Costa Rican jungle.

Your bilingual guide will be sure to fascinate you with interesting facts about the area and point out any wildlife visible on the day of your visit which could include monkeys, iguanas, coatis, pisotes or exotic birds. You’ll feel the changing altitude as you ride up into the mountains where panoramic views of the Pacific coast can be seen.

After an hour or so of riding the trails, you’ll be ready to trade your hog for an adrenaline pumping zipline experience. Time to hug some trees! You'll be led to the first platform high up in the forest canopy. Engineered to protect the bark, the strategically placed platforms either encircle the upper part of the tree trunk or are built around intertwining limbs that create the tree canopy.

The guides will fit you into a harness and helmet, then demonstrate how the equipment works, including going over the safety lesson. There are 9 cables of different lengths and angles to give you a variety of aerial experiences. Once you are hooked up, you’ll be zipping over the tree canopy landing on 11 more platforms. You’ll see down into the forest as well as out over the spectacular distant mountain and ocean landscapes.
