Top-notch from start to finish !
This zipline tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The operation is top-notch, extremely well run, and clearly prioritizes safety without sacrificing fun. The staff were some of the nicest and most professional people we met during our trip—they made everyone feel comfortable and confident. Everything felt very safe, and the photos are fantastic, making it easy to bring home wonderful memories. If that was not enough, another highlight was the butterfly garden, where we had the chance to interact closely with them—some even landed on us, which made for such a magical and memorable moment. One of the true highlights of our Costa Rica trip—highly recommended.

Zipping through the forest!
Yesterday we took traversed 10-Ziplines and crossing 2-bridges over a waterfall with cables. Henry was the first person we met as part of our adventure took us to the butterfly Gardens as well. Afterwards, we did the 10 zip lines with help from Henry, Joseph and Christian. They were all so friendly, patient, super helpful and funny. Luckily, we only had eight people in our group. This is a very popular adventure for travelers. Christian helped us on the crossing of the two bridges over the waterfall.He made us feel relaxed and confident as we crossed. The whole adventure was exhilarating. My husband just turned 70 & I am almost 65. We are not regular hikers, rock climbiers (oh we did a small climbing wall too!) So this was truly exciting and scary! We loved the thrill and overcoming our fears! Fantastic time! Jaco rainforest adventures is quite safety conscious, and that made us feel even more at ease. Safety was number one! Thank you Henry, Joseph and Christian! You were all so awesome, great teachers, mentors and motivators too!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this incredible and inspiring review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an exhilarating experience on the 5-in-1 Rainforest Adventure. Traversing 10 ziplines, crossing waterfall bridges, climbing, and exploring the butterfly garden — that’s a full day of adventure, and we’re so proud you enjoyed every moment! Henry, Joseph, and Christian will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. They are truly dedicated to ensuring every guest feels safe, supported, and confident, and it means a lot to know they helped make your experience fun, encouraging, and unforgettable. We are especially honored that you and your husband chose to take on this adventure together — overcoming fears, celebrating milestones, and embracing the rainforest in such a powerful way. Your courage is inspiring, and we’re thrilled that safety and professionalism helped put you at ease throughout the tour. Thank you again for such a wonderful review and for recommending our team. We hope to welcome you back for even more rainforest excitement in the future! 🌿🇨🇷✨

Commercialized Operation
It really isnt a 5 in 1, really a 3 in 1. You do the tram, ZIplines and high ropes course. The other two are just a walk in the butterfly and botanical gardens which is about 3 minutes. The guides were great and ziplines were fun. It is a very commercialized operation, I wish aia had chosen another tour with more excitement.

Rainforest ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.
How much does Rainforest ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó take?
+
Plan for about 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 ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 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 ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó?
+
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 ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainforest ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainforest ZipLine Aerial Tram and High Ropes Tour in Jacó 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.
