    Avoid, lame, go to Manuel Antonio instead

    Rude, greedy and a waste of time!!! I'd give a zero if an option. Go to Manuel Antonio instead. Its less money and incredible. This place was aweful. I never called it a zoo or expected it to be a zoo experience. That's how you are being rude in your response to me. I requested a refund which you refused. That's how you are greedy. Why did you even allow a naturalist guide, if he could only spot 1 wasp. You have guide as false expectations of seeing animals. Even your mural out front is covered in animals to mislead and misrepresentation. Zero animals, lame arial ride. Aweful. Scam. No animals. Save your money Scam. Don't go. No animals or birds. Guide only showed us a wasp. I asked when was the last time you even saw a monkey. He said you need to go to mangroves where the food is. So they know zero animals. Scam. Save your money. We saw non stop monkeys and birds for less money at Carara and Manuel Antonio National Parks. Go there instead. THIS WAS THEIR RUDE RESPONSE TO MY REVIEW Paola M We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t live up to your expectations. While we take pride in being a primary rainforest sanctuary rather than a zoo, we understand the frustration of not seeing specific wildlife like monkeys during your visit. Because our ecosystem is wild and vast, animal sightings are never guaranteed; however, our trams and ziplines are designed to showcase the botany and transition forest from a unique perspective. We appreciate you mentioning Carara and Manuel Antonio, as they are indeed fantastic spots for high-density wildlife viewing.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for returning to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that our previous response felt defensive or dismissive of your experience; that was truly not our intention, and we deeply regret causing further frustration. We completely understand your disappointment regarding the lack of wildlife sightings during your tour. While our park is a natural, open rainforest sanctuary where animals roam freely—making sightings unpredictable compared to localized coastal national parks like Manuel Antonio and Carara—we recognize that our promotional imagery and the presence of a naturalist guide set a high expectation for your visit. We are truly sorry that we fell short of those expectations and that your guide was only able to point out a single wasp. We take your feedback about our transparency and service very seriously. We want to address your refund request and the frustrations you experienced directly. Please contact us via WhatsApp at +52 998 537 1836 so we can review your case personally.

    Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.

    How much does Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica 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 Jaco is not rushed.

    Is Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 155 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica?

    +

    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 Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica 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 Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica?

    +

    Around 54 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 Jaco 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 Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rainforest Aerial Tram & Zipline Tour in Jacó, Costa Rica 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 Jaco 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 Jaco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. 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 Jaco?

    +

    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 Jaco?

    +

    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.
