Arenal Canopy and Tarzan Swing: Two Guides on Every Cable

Zip lining sounds riskier than it is, and the reason is the staffing: two expert guides work every cable. One clips you on and keeps an eye on the people still waiting their turn. The other is at the far end, handling the braking and getting you off the line once you reach the platform. Nobody is left to work out the equipment alone. The cables and the braking systems are reviewed constantly, along with the safety protocols, which is the difference between feeling in control up there and hoping for the best. Each platform sits over a different piece of forest, so the canopy changes as you work through the course, and the angles for photographs change with it. The Tarzan swing is the other half of the booking.
