100% recommend!
This was such a fun day that well exceeded my expectations. Eduardo was there at the street to pick us up in a really nice van (We had 13 people, but it would hold a few more), then he drove us straight to the river to hop on our canal boat. Our tour guide on the boat, Aiden, paired with Eduardo, were so great at finding animals hidden in the foliage. We saw a few sloths, maybe like 10 monkeys, lots of iguanas and various types of birds. It was such a nice little boat ride with so many fun things to see, and Aiden was so informative! After the boat ride, Eduardo took us to go ziplining. He stayed with us the entire time while we got fitted for our gear, once he saw we were heading up to the lines, he went back to the bottom to wait for us. A few members in our group did the nature walk which they all seemed to really enjoy. On our way back to the boat we stopped at a bar so we could have some drinks and snacks. The bar had a beautiful view of Limon and the cruise ships. The day could not have been better. Our group ranged from 7-71 years old and everyone enjoyed the day. 100% recommend....and ask for Eduardo!
Response from the operator: Nice review

Fabulous day in Costa Rica
We did the canal tour and zip line. There were 7 total in our family from 12 to 72. He met us right where he said he would be and we had a van with eduardo and a driver to ourselves. The zip lines were great. The crew made us feel safe and it was super fun for everyone. After we finished the zip lines he took us to a restaurant with a fabulous lookout point, which was amazing. Highly recommend Eduardo, he was a great guide of a great port.

What a blast, adrenaline rush flying through the jungle followed by a calm boat tour on the canal.
We did this tour from our cruise ship. My wife wasn’t at all keen but said she’d give it a go. In our group there was a married couple in their eighties so my wife conceced so felt she had to do it too. She loved it, wizzing through the jungle canopy taking in the jungle sights and sounds, howler mokeys, sloths, birds and insects. When we calmed down we had a serene river boat ride taking in the wildlife again, monkeys, snakes, birds, iguanas and a “crocodile”. A very nice day out.

We were lucky to find Lucky Tours
My daughter and I had a most remarkable day with Eduardo and our driver, Arlis (sp?). Eduardo was waiting for us with a name sign and we set off. Had not gone more than ten minutes before we pulled off the road . Howler monkeys and sloths were pointed out to us! Both Eduardo and Arlis were very knowledgeable about and proud of their country. We then visited a road side stand where we learned a great deal about coffee and chocolate, fascinating. Then a quick visit to a banana plantation which, once again,was a great learning experience. The canal tour was very entertaining complete with multiple sightings, including a small boa constrictor. Zip lining was a first for me and very thrilling. I would highly recommend Lucky Tours!

A Fabulous Tour All the Way Around
Amazing ziplining. It was my first experience and I felt very comfortable. Fearful at first, I found lots of checks and balances to ensure guests safety. And trust me, if I can do it, you can too! Beautiful sights of rainforest below as you zip lined. Sightings of animals aren't guaranteed during the canal cruise but we saw many. At the end of the tour, with a little spare time, we stopped for a brief visit at a beach resort and got a luscious drink. So glad we did this tour.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zipline and Canal Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Limon.
How much does Zipline and Canal Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Limon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zipline and Canal Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Limon is not rushed.
Is Zipline and Canal Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Limon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zipline and Canal Tour?
+
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 Zipline and Canal Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zipline and Canal Tour?
+
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 Limon 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 Limon and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zipline and Canal Tour 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 Limon 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 Limon?
+
On Outty we rank every Limon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour to Cahuita National Park from Puerto Limon, The Sloth and Kayak Tour - Ethical wildlife encounters, Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience. 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 Limon?
+
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 Limon?
+
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.

+
Included: Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Food and drinks; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Zipline and Canal Tour include hotel pickup?

What languages is Zipline and Canal Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Zipline and Canal Tour?
+
