Experience the ultimate thrill with the Canopy Zipline - Extremo tour in Monteverde, Costa Rica. This half-day adventure features 14 high-speed ziplines, some reaching 777 meters long and 137 meters high, soaring through the cloud forest canopy. Beyond ziplining, guests can brave a giant rappel, Tarzan swing, and Superman ziplines, all while enjoying mountain hiking and professional guidance. It's a must-do for extreme adventure seekers.

If you want extreme, this fast paced zip line adventure complete with Tarzan Swing, bungee cord, giant rappel and Superman cables will surely get your heart pumping. Set in the magnificent Monteverde mountain range with cables up to 3400 ft long and 600 ft high, you’ll be zooming through this unique cloud forest canopy as if you were on top of the world.

You’ll meet your professional guides at the reception area who will fit you into a harness and go over the safety procedures. Heading out to the first platform which begins at the highest point, you’ll be in a group hiking uphill along a cleared jungle path.

At the first platform your bilingual guides will show you the steel cables strung between extremely strong giant trees and how to use the independent braking system. With 14 zip lines of various lengths, you’ll be cruising through the forest canopy and over deep canyons at top speed.

In between platforms you may be climbing steep paths reinforced with steps so hiking shoes are a must. One hiker recorded over 100 steps on his fitbit.

For another extreme thrill you can bungee jump like Tarzan over a huge cliff from a firmly attached rope soaring through the air into the immense panoramic landscape below. You may want to bring your own Go Pro camera to record your wildest moments but you will also have the opportunity to purchase a photo package at the end.

At one point with the help of your experienced guides you will do a giant rappel to reach another zip line platform beneath you. This is pure adrenaline adventure.

Ending with two Superman rides, one a full kilometer long, your harness will be adapted so you can zip horizontally, hands free, flying over the lush mountainous terrain. Try it with your partner, the two of you together on a couples’ cable going even faster from the added weight.

Monteverde is the ideal place for zip lining with sky high altitudes, unique cloud forest canopy and commanding mountainous countryside. If you want excitement, this extreme half day tour is for you!

Ziplining with Extremo was incredible. High flying lines with several LONG sections, allowing me and my family to feel freedom and thrill high above the tree canopies! The staff didn't speak much English but they were still able to communicate the necessary components to ensure safety and protocols. We were put into solid, full-body harnesses with helmets and big leather gloves with super-thick padding on the palms, which served as the brake for most sections. The staff would signal by raising a hand as you approach to indicate if you should apply more brake (applying downforce on the zipline with your palm). In our case, it was very misty and rained the latter half of the event, making it difficult to see the guide at the far end until we came pretty close. Fortunately, they had a backup "catch" system that was another brake system if you came in too hot. My wife flew in one time way too fast and their backup brake system caught her just fine (I have a hilarious video of this). Even though it was rainy and slightly chilly (June - rainy season in Monteverde), the staff had positive attitudes and took the time to make sure everyone made it across safely before sending the next person/pair across. If you braked too much and didn't quite make it to the very end, a staff member would come out to you and help pull you in the rest of the way. This took a little time but was comforting knowing they had your back. They would always have a receiving guide and a sending guide before anyone was sent over, and they would communicate with each other. For the final two ziplines, they asked us if we would like to be repositioned to the Superman position (facedown, horizontal body, with each foot in a sling). My older son (18 years old) and I did this and loved the added thrill! My wife and younger son (15) preferred the standard position and also had plenty of fun. Then at the very end, they offered the Tarzan Swing. This thing is no joke. You walk up a ton of stairs to a high platform, walk out probably 40 feet, then they strap you in safely for the drop. It is a gigantic swing system where you hang from your harness and free fall for a couple seconds before swinging outward (it was surprisingly smooth!), then swinging back and forth a few times before they collect you and bring you down safely. They got footage of the event which I will keep forever. What a blast! I would say 1/3 of the participants of our group (5 of 15, or so) actually did the Tarzan Swing, while the others cheered for us from the ground. Personally I think they missed out. :)

Definitely need more on the website about how much climbing is involved. We were not expecting the amount of stairs! But the most fun i've ever had on ziplines. The tarzan swing was GREAT!
