Glide Through the Sky: Canopy Zip Line Adventures in Nosara, Guanacaste
High above the surf breaks and jungle trails of Nosara lies a world you can only reach by harness and cable. Here, in one of Costa Rica’s most pristine corners, canopy zip line tours take adventure to a whole new level—literally. Imagine stepping off a wooden platform and soaring over waterfalls, rainforest ridgelines, and howler monkey hideouts, with the Pacific Ocean shimmering far below. This is Nosara from the sky—a place where adrenaline meets nature in its wildest form.
An Epic Ride Through the Jungle Canopy
Nosara offers one of the most extensive and unforgettable zip line experiences anywhere in the world. It’s not just the length that impresses—it’s the journey itself. You’ll fly through a 2,500-acre forest reserve, untouched by development and rich in biodiversity. As you glide from platform to platform, you’ll take in dramatic views of the Pacific coastline, hidden waterfalls, rivers, and deep jungle ravines.
With 21 zip lines stretching over 11 kilometers, including runs that range from 300 to 750 meters, this is one of the longest and most scenic zip line circuits on the planet. Double-wired cables provide added stability and safety, making each flight smooth, secure, and unforgettable. And for added peace of mind, the tour operates on the only lightning-grounded canopy system in Costa Rica—ensuring safety even in tropical weather conditions.
Between the lines, there’s more to explore: trails that lead to river pools, time to swim beneath one of the region’s tallest waterfalls, and rest stops surrounded by nothing but forest and birdsong.
