Family-Friendly Zip Lining at Arenal Ecoglide Park
This zip-line tour is one of the few in La Fortuna that is perfect for first timers or anyone who is nervous because safety is the main focus. The two-hour tour includes 11 cables with lengths from 400-1300 feet long. Alongside these cables are two parallel cables, one for sliding and one for safety. Each cable has braking systems to ensure safety as well.
From the zip lines, you get amazing rainforest and volcano views. In addition to the zip line tour, you have the option of adding the Tarzan Swing. This is a fun adventure where you swing back and forth from a platform.
This tour is great for young children because they don’t need to hold onto the zip-line cable.

Thanks to the guidance from Two Weeks in Costa Rica and the fun and friendly crew at EcoGlide, we enjoyed an outstanding zip-lining adventure! Two Weeks in Costa Rica coordinated our experience, and swiftly facilitated a schedule change with the EcoGlide when we realized the initial date would conflict with another excursion. They managed the communications with EcoGlide seamlessly and expediently. Thank you!

AMAZING!
My kids (Aged 4 and 6) loved ziplining!
This was safe, exhilarating, and by far our favorite activity in Costa Rica! The guides were kind and gentle and helped my kids (and mom) feel at ease! We can’t wait to go back!
