Sky Tram and Trek Canopy Zipline - Sky Arenal
Overview
The Sky Tram and Trek Canopy Zipline tour is among the most popular in the Arenal Volcano area. Imagine taking a gondola style tram to the top of the mountain and then ziplining down it!
After being picked up from your La Fortuna hotel you will take a scenic drive around Lake Arenal (from most hotels) en route to the Sky Adventures Park. When you arrive you will be sized up and fitted with the latest and safest safety equipment.
The adventure begins with the tram ride up the mountain as you pass through the rainforest canopy. With a little luck you may be able to spot wildlife, but will undoubtedly enjoy spectacular views. In total the tram goes 4,100 feet or 1,250 meters up the mountain. When you arrive at the top you will be provided a brief safety and instructional course for the zipline.
The Sky Trek Canopy Zipline is one of the most popular ziplines in the world and for good reason! As you soar from platform to platform you will zip over canyons and treetops making your way down the mountain. There are seven ziplines of varying lengths and sizes. The highest is 656 feet high and the longest is 2,493 feet long!
This is a high speed, adventurous tour. We only recommend for those that do not fear heights.
After the high flying adventure you will be returned to your Arenal area hotel. Including round trip transportation, this tour is expected to last around 4 hours though this is subject to change. This fun filled half day tour includes transportation and guide.
Please note that from September 1st to 15th, 2024, the Sky Tram segment of the tour will be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled annual maintenance procedures. However, rest assured that Sky Adventures is committed to ensuring your continued enjoyment by arranging transfers to the Sky Trek location via 4x4 vehicles during this time.

Loved the ziplines! First time we ever did them and it was a great experience. I was a bit nervous but the guides were excellent and I always felt safe. I wanted to go back to the top and do it all again.

Awesome excursion.

7 zip lines, 5 long and fast. Great views of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal. But both helmet video cams stopped recording. Memory cards and photo chip were pricey. All guides were good, but Levi ? was great.

Driver spoke no English, which was a bit challenging for all of us (including him!) - but he was very nice and we managed. And we do realize we were not in an English speaking country :)

I loved it. It was what I hoped it would be. The fact that it was rainy added to the adventure.

The guides were GREAT!

Tram was high and zipping was scary at first but flying past the lake and seeing the volcano was something I will never forget. Guides were fantastic

long lines.

Again excellent time and a lot of fun.

Had a great time and the experience was memorable for a first timer. Staff was extremely friendly and safety conscious. The only negative issue (which is no fault of the company) is the ride up the mountain is horrible.
05/23/2016
excellent!
03/24/2016
Too many people backed up in the beginning to get moving along. Could have squeezed an hour out of the experience of backlog

Great zipline tour - high and fast with wonderful views. Would give it a ten but the first and last zipline are nothing so there are really only five good ziplines.
