Not great
I had a concerning experience at EcoGlide Arenal Park. During the zipline tour, I was instructed by a guide to proceed while another participant was still at the end of the line. This resulted in a collision, and I suffered a broken nose and other injuries requiring medical treatment. The company did cover my initial urgent care in Costa Rica, which I appreciated. They later indicated that the guide involved was no longer employed following the incident. However, my total medical expenses have since exceeded $1,600 and are still ongoing. Resolving reimbursement has been difficult, and after several months, I received only a partial offer that does not come close to covering my costs. Ziplining depends heavily on proper spacing and clear communication from guides, so this type of error is concerning from a safety standpoint. I would encourage others to carefully consider safety practices when choosing a tour operator.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 142 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano?
+
Around 50 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Canopy and Tarzan Swing In The Base of The Arenal Volcano start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
