Overview

Zip through the rain forest canopy then visit a banana plantation.

Participate in two of our favorite activities while in port: zip line through the rain forest canopy and visit a Costa Rican banana plantation!

If you want an adrenaline rush, then this is the tour for you! Glide through the treetops with this exhilarating adventure: 9 cables and 12 platforms stretched across the length of the rain forest. The longest cable is 850 ft. long and you will experience heights up to 275 ft. Here you can enjoy the gripping thrill of the wind in your face as you soar through the rain forest witnessing some of the most spectacular views.

The platforms are arranged at different heights and levels of excitement. Up to platform 5, all cables are of similar length. However, after this platform, the cables become even more thrilling. Here those who prefer to give up and return to the lodge may do so. This opportunity is also offered at platform 7. For those of you who enjoy the thrill, its go, go, go, all the way to platform 12.

Catch glimpses of the Caribbean Ocean, the Banano River, and, of course, the rain forest.

Bring your friends and family along to enjoy the experience with you, remember it is always better to live the experience than to hear a friend recount the excitement!

After this adventure, you will visit a banana plantation, where many interesting facts about this amazing fruit will be explained. You will learn about the entire process, from crop, harvesting, and processing to packing and exportation. Costa Rica is the second largest banana producer in the world and 80% of the plantations are located in Limon province, becoming one of the most important economical activities in the region. This is a very interesting cultural experience not to be missed!

NOTE: If you have a group and some people do not want to experience the zip line tour, they can accompany you and experience the rain forest nature walk while you enjoy the treetop canopy adventure. The group will travel together and you will split up for the activities.
