Overview

Canopy Safari is the oldest canopy tour in the southern zone of Costa Rica. We opened our first tour in 1997 and since then we have never stopped striving to be the best in every sense. Our goal is to provide each and every one of our guests with an amazing experience out in the rainforest. Our tour offers something for everyone; from our thrilling Superman or a Tarzan swing to our butterfly garden to our walking trails to our zip lines where everyone gets to sail like a monkey through the canopy of the rainforest.

Today Canopy Safari has a stunning restaurant set next to a pristine river right in the heart of the protected rainforest. Next to our restaurant is our butterfly garden, our serpentarium, and our cayman pond, here our guides take everyone on guided tours where they can learn about the amazing life cycle of these beautiful animals. We also have twenty platforms, eleven zip lines, two rappel lines, one suspension bridge, a Tarzan swing, and our newest attraction: The Superman. All of these exciting elements are built in a circuit that starts and ends at our restaurant.

On our private rainforest reserve, we also have a wonderful walking trail system for those guests who prefer to keep their feet on the ground. Our trail system is set in the heart of our jungle property right below the canopy platforms. So those guests who choose to enjoy the trails can still see and cheer on their friends and family who are on the zip line course.

At our restaurant, we serve a delicious typical style, buffet meal. Everyone raves that our food is some of the best that they enjoy in Costa Rica. We take great pride in this as do our cooks. All our employees are local Costa Ricans who love to share their love of their culture and the amazing environment where they live, work, and play. Canopy Safari is the perfect activity for everyone, from thrill-seekers, to nature enthusiasts, to foodies.

Starting July 1st, 2023, the price will be of $105 per adult.

Watchers can join this tour for an additional price which covers transportation, full lunch, access to butterfly, serpentarium, and hiking trails.

Great Experience!

We had a group of 6 adults and 5 kids ranging from 9-14 years old. We all had a blast! It was my 9-year-old’s first time ziplining, and she was definitely scared, but a smile never left her face (even through a few tears!) The guides kept us safe and they were also a lot of fun and informative. There was a lot of variety in addition to the traditional ziplines. There was a tarzan swing and two ropes that we repelled from, and at the end was the superman zipline. We enjoyed them all! The food at the end was delicious. My only recommendation is to lower the price of the photos. The photographer was great, and we enjoyed watching the pictures and the videos at the end. We would have loved to purchase them but couldn’t justify $220.

Tourist security has been the priority all along the trail.

We had an amazing time!! 10 zip lines, one better than the other one! We took our 7 years old boy and he enjoyed it also, we all felt very safe while excited about the experience!

Food was delicious.

I want do it tomorrow again!! 🙂

Guide (Joe) was great. Stopped to see some wildlife on the drive up. Lunch was delicious. Kids enjoyed the zipline and I opted to just walk and watch which was delightful also. Would recommend to someone wanting to zipline.

We had a phenomenal time. I felt safe all while at the same time have an adventure of a life time. It rained by the end but the pouring rain didn’t damper our time. Thank you so much for the great memories! The meal was fantastic too. I’d love to know what was on the chicken! Pura Vida.

I didn’t realize I had such a fear of heights until this trip. The staff was so patient with me and helped with humor. The majority was very fun, for sure. Flying through the rainforest and seeing the birds flying nearby.

The food is absolutely astonishing. And you get to say hi to some crocodiles when you’re done!

If you think you can’t do it, do it. They will make sure you have fun.

This whole operation is top notch! The guides provide a very safe and fun experience, and also share information on natural history and local culture. The food is incredible. The butterfly garden is beautiful. And for the two of us who were on the ground, the guided hike was a worthy experience. We saw and learned a lot, thanks to our kind guide. I highly recommend this high quality experience!

Great adventure! The crew was entertaining, professional and reasuring. Everyone from the driver of the shuttle bus, to the cook and all the guides. They all have been the best. It was great that there was a photographer on side to get the best angles for our favorite souvenirs. What a great way to appreciate this beautiful country. Nature at it’s best. We all had a blast, from the 50 year old adults, to the 15 year old teenagers. Merci beaucoup! Your friends from New Brunswick!

This tour was super fun from the moment we got on the bus. The guide was knowledgeable, personable and had a great sense of humor. Three of us did the zipline tour and one did the walking tour. Both were great. The photographer on-site captured great shots of the family. The food was great, serving typical Costa Rican food, fruit, and a variety of different juices. We highly recommend!

This is definitely the best zip line I’ve ever done! I’m 11 years old and I did this zip line with my whole family and some friends. They did a good job explaining how to ride it and how far it was. Everyone there was super kind and made sure that everyones questions were answered. I also liked that we didn’t just zip line, we also did miniature hikes, repelling, and a cool hanging bridge.

If you’re a kid, you’re in luck. They kinda tease the kids by making the zip line sway or making them repel faster. Everyone was either laughing or excited-screaming.

The only thing that I have to complain about is the super-man zip line. My younger brother went first on it, so they were explaining the rules while he was getting strapped in. They told us to put our arms out in front of us the entire time, then cross them at the last second. My brother must’ve mis-heard, because he crossed them before they even saID go. By doing this, he would skin his elbows on the launch-pad before he left. They didn’t correct him, so all of us waiting were screaming at him to un-cross his arms. He didn’t listen to us because the guide wasn’t correcting him, so he just kept his arms crossed. When they launched him, he lifted his elbows up a tiny bIt and they just barely didn’t skin the table. They should’ve told him to un-cross his arms, but they weren’t paying attention to anything but his harness, unfortunately. Everything else on the superman was amazing, though!

My family and I had an amazing time. The experience starts with the trip out to the reserve. The guides were very knowledgeable, kind and fun. As one who has been terrified of heights all my life, I can say that they helped me conquer my fear. We always felt safe and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone coming to the Manuel Antonio area. PURA VIDA

If you are visiting Costa Rica, you have to experience this zip line tour! And yes, I said tour-this two hour adventure has plenty to offer-zip lines, Tarzan swings, beautiful scenery, plenty of laughs and you can end with a Superman swing. And, to top it off, you get to sit down and enjoy a delicious meal and savor both the food and the memories you just took in!

I’m an out of shape, overweight, middle-aged woman that is deathly afraid of heights, and I had the most amazing time. Granted, there were a few moments I wondered how they’d get me down if I passed out, but Joe and his crew could not have made me feel more safe and comfortable. Even crazier, Joe actually got me to have FUN. We were in Costa Rica for 17 days, and we did a lot of things…. but the only thing I’d pay to go back and do again is this trip. Drink lots of water beforehand, pay attention to everything Joe says and does, and have an AMAZING time!!

They searched continually for animals and sights to point out to us. The waterfall and suspension bridges were thrilling. This was the highlight of our visit to Manual Antonio!
