What it's like to fly Superman-style
On a normal zipline you sit upright in your harness. Here you're clipped in face-down, so you go out over the forest head first with your arms free and nothing but treetops below you. Where a standard canopy tour hops from tree to tree, these lines cross whole valleys, which gives you a long, surprisingly calm stretch in the air before the far platform comes into view.
Because of the speed and the height, the rules are strict: nobody under 15, a minimum weight of 110 lb (50 kg) and a minimum height of 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in). You'll also want to be in good shape.
Traveling with younger kids? The zipline canopy tour has twelve shorter lines and is open from age 5, so the whole family can ride.
Highlights
- Three long-distance lines across the cloud forest
- Ride face-down, arms out, like the name says
- Speeds of up to 116 km/h (72 mph)
- Up to 230 m (755 ft) above the ground
- Lines from 950 to 1,450 m (3,100 to 4,750 ft) long
Who can join

Before you go
- Departures every day at 8:30 AM, 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM.
- We pick you up from your hotel before the tour starts. Please be ready 15 minutes before your pickup time. If we can't find you when it's time to leave, the spot can't be held.
- Tie back long hair and leave anything loose behind. Face-down at that speed, it won't stay in your pockets.
- Heavy rain, thunderstorms or strong wind can stop the tour at short notice. If that happens, we'll be in touch about a new date.
