Detailed itinerary

Adventure Pass features many adventures within one day. One is to slide full-speed over the lush landscapes across the canopy having beautiful sea vistas on Costa Rica’s longest double zip lines at Diamante Eco Adventure Park; then, if you dare, jump to the void on the Quick Jump! And, to lower a bit your adrenaline level, how about a relaxing stroll through a hanging bridge? …over a river teeming with crocodiles!

For the aquatic part, submerge under the warm waters of Gulf Papagayo and become aware of the amazing diversity of marine life while practicing snorkel; or sailing aboard a kayak or a paddle board. But, if what you look for is to increase your knowledge about the species that live in this rich territory, visit the botanical garden and the animal sanctuary to observe a wide variety of frogs and snakes, colorful birds and butterflies, sloths, monkeys, pumas, majestic jaguars, and more!

At the end, have a well-deserved rest in a hammock under the shade of a palm-tree and enjoy an exquisite lunch in a restaurant located 100 meters high, which will present you with an unforgettable panoramic sea view!

• Double zip line with sea vistas
• Quick Jump and hanging bridges
