Puntarenas Ziplining: 18 Lines Over 11 Waterfalls

Eighteen ziplines, one suspension bridge, a rappel, and a swim in a waterfall pool

Zip across 18 cables strung over 11 waterfalls in the rainforest above Puntarenas, with round-trip pickup from the cruise port, professional bilingual guides, and all safety gear included. The experience runs 5 hours and combines ziplines with a suspension bridge crossing, an easy rappel and a swim in a natural pool. A 4x4 ride carries you to the first platform. Timing is coordinated with your ship's schedule so you return before departure.

The experience

Eighteen ziplines over 11 waterfalls is the core of this activity, but the setup matters: you start with a safety briefing from bilingual guides, then ride a 4x4 into the mountain forest to reach the first platform. From there you move through the canopy on the cables, cross a suspension bridge between platforms, complete an easy rappel, and finish with a swim in a natural waterfall pool. All zipline and safety equipment is provided. The whole experience takes about 5 hours from the moment you leave the cruise port.

Round-trip transportation from Puntarenas or Caldera cruise port is included, along with an air-conditioned vehicle for the ride to Adventure Park & Hotel Vista Golfo. Pickup and return times are timed to your ship's schedule so you don't miss departure. Wear comfortable sports clothing with a bathing suit underneath, and closed-toe shoes are mandatory. Bring a towel. Lunch and drinks are available to purchase at the restaurant on-site, but are not included in the booking.

The activity suits cruise passengers with at least a moderate level of fitness who are comfortable with heights and physical movement. Children from age 6 can join if accompanied by an adult. A weight limit of 260 pounds applies. The experience is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, pregnancy, or walking disabilities.
