Zipline And Canyoning Combo

Overview

Amigos del Rio runs this six-hour adventure out of Quepos, and it is more than a standard zipline circuit. You hike through jungle on the mountain and hit a series of activities along the way: multiple ziplines, a rappel, a free fall and a Tarzan swing, plus the element travellers talk about most, ziplining into a waterfall. Several reviewers described it as the best zipline tour they had done anywhere.

The flow of the day is simple. Hotel pickup covers selected properties in Manuel Antonio and Quepos, and the trip ends back at the meeting point with lunch and snacks included, with vegetarian and gluten free options if you request them at booking. One reviewer noted that guides carry a dry bag for valuables and electronics.

It suits families and mixed groups well. Children from age six can take part, and reviewers travelling with children said the guides were patient and kept everyone safe. You need moderate fitness, because the hiking between activities is real, and the experience requires good weather, with a different date or a refund offered if it is cancelled for poor conditions.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from footwear to fitness to how the photos work.

• Footwear and clothing. The listing asks for a swimsuit and quick dry clothing that is comfortable under a harness. Bring water shoes, tennis shoes or sandals with ankle straps; flip flops are not allowed and shoes with good traction are recommended.
• Fitness and pace. Moderate physical fitness is required, and the hiking between activities is a genuine part of the day. One reviewer called it a great workout, not just a series of rides.
• Group feel. Groups run up to 18 travellers, with a maximum of 16 per booking and a minimum of 2. Reviewers repeatedly mention guides who joke, give clear instruction on every element, and stay patient with families.
• Food and photos. Lunch and snacks are included, and the food draws consistent praise. One reviewer noted that guides carry a dry bag for valuables, and the listing lists souvenir photos as available to purchase.
• Weather. The experience requires good weather, and if it is cancelled for poor conditions you get a different date or a full refund. One group ran the whole course in pouring rain and still enjoyed the waterfalls and jungle.
• Sunscreen and spray. The listing advises bringing sunscreen and bug spray alongside your water gear. Bug spray in particular matters for the jungle hiking stretches between activities.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, is not recommended for pregnant travellers or those with back problems, and excludes anyone with serious heart conditions. The largest harness fits a 42 inch waist, transportation outside Manuel Antonio and Quepos costs extra, and the operator can cancel if the minimum traveller count is not met, in which case you get a different date, a different experience, or a refund.
