Skytrek Zip Line Canopy Tour Monteverde
Skytrek Monteverde Canopy Tour, Bridges and Tram
Sky Trek Canopy (now called Treetopi!) is not just a zipline tour, as included in the experience is a 10-minute open-air gondola ride (also called the TreeTramm, Skytram or cable car). You'll ride on the TreeTram to the observation area, which is located at one of the highest points of the mountain. From the observation area, on a clear day, there are amazing views of the Gulf of Nicoya, Arenal Volcano, and of course, the surrounding cloud forest. From here you'll zipline back to the base (little walking between cables), through the air on a system of cables that stretch across canyons, from one mountain to another, and through the trees in the cloud forest. There are 7 cables with lengths between 328 feet (100m) and 2460 feet (750m).
The Skytram and Skytrek have to be done as a combined tour (you cannot do just the ziplines, as the tram takes you up and the ziplines down!). Although, you can do the tram on its own. Or combine it with a guided hike on the Skywalk bridges. The tour is suitable for anyone over 8 years old with a sense of adventure. No experience is needed.
Try the Vertigo Drop. Drop down from a platform like Tarzan!

General Information
General Information
Together, the ziplines and the Skytram (now called TreeTram) complete distance stretches of almost 3kms and the tour takes approximately 2.5 hours (plus transport time).
Before leaving the main building to start your tour, you will be fitted with all of the necessary safety equipment (harness, helmet, gloves); which the guides will take care to properly adjust. Afterward, the guides will deliver a safety speech with special attention to the braking system.
Due to the extreme length of some of the ziplines and the prevailing wind speed, the guides may have you ride tandem. This style utilizes the added weight of a second person to ensure that you reach the next platform.
In the event of lightning or winds exceeding 120 km/h (75mph), Sky Trek will cancel its tours for safety reasons; with lesser wind or rain only serving to add to the excitement, and speed, of the zipline tour.
ARBOREAL - Tree climbing
Ever wanted to learn how to climb a tree? The Arboreal tour will put your strength and courage to the test. There is a total of 4 trees, with heights that range from 10m (33ft) to 20m (66ft) high. Each one has a different level of difficulty, offering a variety of climbing challenges. Safety is a priority and all climbers are given safety talks and equipped with a belay system, just like rock climbing but up a tree! The trees have handholds specifically designed for this activity and cause no damage to the trees. Once you reach the top of the tree, the automatic belay system will descend you softly and safely to the ground!
Minimum age: 5 years old
Minimum weight: 30lbs (14kg) • Maximum weight: 265lbs (120kg)
Shoes or sports sandals (with straps around the heel) required
Sky Walk (Hanging Bridges/Suspended Bridges)
The Sky Walk is a wonderful chance to take a relaxed hike high in the forest. For wildlife viewing the Sky Walk offers the best opportunities, as often the zip lines are too fast and intense for relaxed wildlife viewing. You can do the Skywalk without the Treetram or zip lines, or as a combo with other tours. Self-guided tours take about 1.5 hours but it depends on how often you stop to enjoy the scenery or take photos! 6 hanging bridges cover about 1.5 miles (2.5km).
You can also book the Sky Walk with a nature guide. The guided tour is about 2 hours.
