Ziplining and ATV in Jaco: 12 cables and 2 hours off-road

Twelve cables through the treetops, then mud and river crossings on an ATV.

A zip line and ATV combo near Jaco lets you descend 12 platforms and 10 cables through the rainforest canopy, then spend 2 hours riding trails, mud and rivers in the same jungle from ground level. Bilingual guides lead both parts. A 15-minute tractor ride takes you to the top of the mountain before you clip in. A credit card (Visa or Mastercard) is required to secure your ATV reservation. The operator holds a $1,000 deposit that is fully refundable, or you can buy $25 insurance per ATV instead.

The experience

You arrive at the park 10 minutes from Jaco Beach and Los Suenos. The tractor hauls you 15 minutes up the mountain, and from there you clip into the first of 12 platforms. The cables drop you through the canopy on a series of 10 lines, including one of the longest in Costa Rica's Central Pacific. You descend at your own pace, with guides managing the clips and the stops.

Once you're back on the ground, the ATV part starts. You ride for 2 hours through trails, mud, jungle and river crossings, all within the same rainforest but from a completely different angle. The guides are bilingual and stay with the group the whole time. You'll pass waterfalls and get ocean views from the inland side. Bring water and wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy. The rivers and mud are the point.

The whole thing runs 4 to 5 hours. Fruits and water are included. Lunch is available for purchase at the park if you want to eat there after. You'll need a valid driver's license to operate an ATV, and you must be at least 18 to ride one. Kids as young as 4 can zip line. The credit card hold or insurance covers damage to the ATV. It's a deposit, not a charge, and it comes back if you return the vehicle intact.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I do the zip line without the ATV, or do I have to book them together?

The product is sold as a combo: zip line and 2-hour ATV together. If you want to zip line only, you would need to contact the operator about availability of that option separately.

Do I need a driver's license to ride the ATV?

Yes, you must have a valid driver's license and be at least 18 years old to operate an ATV on this tour. Passengers can be younger, but the person in control of the vehicle needs the license.

What happens if I damage the ATV?

A credit card hold of $1,000 (for 1 to 5 vehicles) secures your reservation and covers damage. The hold is fully refundable if you return the ATV in good condition. Alternatively, you can buy $25 insurance per ATV (non-refundable) instead of the hold, or $100 per buggy or side-by-side.

Is there food and water during the tour?

Fruits and water are included throughout the combo. Lunch is not included but is available for purchase at the park: a traditional Costa Rican casado (rice, beans, salad, fried plantain, vegetables and meat) plus a drink and dessert.

How far is this from Jaco Beach?

The park is located 10 minutes from Jaco Beach and Los Suenos Resort, so it's very close if you're staying in either area.
