Local know-how
Ziplining & Canopy in Tamarindo, honestly
Courses near the coast fly over tropical dry forest — expect open views, and in dry season, bare-branched trees full of visible wildlife rather than deep green jungle. The bigger canyon courses further inland, often combined with Rincón de la Vieja day trips, add longer and faster cables plus extras like hanging bridges or Tarzan swings.
Ziplining is one of the most family-friendly adrenaline activities here: minimum ages are commonly around 4–6 years with weight rather than age limits doing the real gatekeeping. Confirm limits per course, wear closed shoes, and stash your phone unless there's a secure pocket — guides usually shoot photos for you.
Before you book
- Closed shoes required on nearly every course
- Check weight and age limits per course — they vary
- Tie back long hair and skip loose accessories
- Combo tours (zipline + hot springs or waterfall) get you more per travel hour
