Bicycle Zipline in Ometepe: 7 Drops & Pedal the Sky

The only zipline where you pedal instead of just hang on

Bicycle zipline in Ometepe, Nicaragua with seven drops and ten platforms, where you pedal across cables while harnessed and suspended above the treetops. A guide in English or Spanish leads the experience. Transport to the mountain is included. The activity runs about 90 minutes and welcomes children from age 3.

The experience

What makes this different from a standard zipline is the bicycle itself. You pedal across the cables between platforms instead of sliding passively, which means your legs do the work and your hands grip the handlebars as you move through the air. The longest drop stretches 750 meters, and the route includes seven of them across ten platforms total, with selfie stops built in so you can catch your breath and take photos of Ometepe Volcano and Lake Nicaragua below. A live guide in English or Spanish walks you through the setup at each platform and stays with the group throughout.

Transport to the mountain is part of the booking. They pick you up and bring you to the site, so you don't need a car or have to arrange your own way there. The whole experience takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. Children from age 3 can ride, and the operator notes the activity is wheelchair accessible, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. On clear days, you'll spot local wildlife moving through the canopy as you pedal across.
