For the thrill-seekers, ziplining is a treasured pastime and a must as part of your trip to Costa Rica, where we’ve been flying through the jungle since the 70s. Feel the breeze in your britches and race a macaw through the canopy as the greenery spreads out beneath you. Use your time gearing up on the platforms to witness nature in its purest state, with sloths, monkeys, and dozens of brilliantly-colored birds playing audience to your adventure.
This activity is not for those afraid of heights, but if you’re 48 inches or taller, your adrenaline rush awaits. You can find plenty of ziplining opportunities near your beach house in Playa Flamingo.
To fully experience a Costa Rican vacation, you’ll want to book one of the full- or half-day cruises that leave out of Playa Flamingo and Tamarindo for a perfectly-timed sunset sail. These cruises sail out for at least 30 minutes, and when the sun begins to set, you’ll be sailing on a sea of jewels, with the pristine shoreline of Costa Rica in sight.
Spend the whole day on the cruise, checking out hard-to-reach beaches and secret snorkeling spots, or take it easy on the shore until an afternoon departure. Whichever you choose, a sturdy catamaran will sail you to the perfect location for basking in the glow of a breath-taking Costa Rican sunset.
