Arenal is where a lot of Costa Rica's ziplining started, and there are several courses within a short drive of La Fortuna, with cables strung across rainforest canyons in view of the volcano. They differ more than you would think, and the right one depends on your youngest rider.
For families with small children, one course takes riders from age three (little ones ride tandem with a guide), charges the same price for every age, and includes transport from La Fortuna. For teens and adults who want more time in the air, a twelve cable course runs about three hours, and another park takes you up by aerial tram before you zip back down.
Height and weight limits apply on most courses, so send us everyone's age when you ask and we will check them against the rules before you book.
What to bring. Closed shoes, clothes you can move in, hair tied back, and nothing loose in your pockets.
Before you book, one honest note. These prices are each operator's own published rates, which we last checked in October 2026, and they move with the season. We book this with a local operator we trust, and their confirmation is the final word on price, timing, pickup, and what you get. If a detail matters to your trip, whether that is a dietary need, a mobility question, a birthday, or a tight flight, ask us before you book and we will confirm it with them directly rather than guess.
We count visits without cookies, so nothing follows you home from here. Say yes to all and we also get to see which pages actually help people plan a trip. That is the whole ask. How we handle data.
