Jaco Canopy Zipline and ATV Combo Adventure — Rainforest Ridges & Coastline Views
Combine two hours of ATV riding with two hours of canopy zipping above the rainforest that crowns Jaco. Expect ridgeline ocean views, dirt-track excitement, and professional guides who balance adrenaline with safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a printed or mobile passport copy
A passport photo and stamp may be requested at check-in for identification — have a photo ready on your phone.
Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are dusty and can throw up debris; long pants protect legs from branches and heat from the engine.
Hydrate before you ride
Bring at least 1 liter of water per person for a combined 4‑hour activity in humid conditions.
Confirm same‑day scheduling in advance
Tell the operator if you want both activities on one day or split across two; extra fees or time constraints may apply.

Conservation Note
Operators typically limit group size and use established trails to reduce erosion; respect marked areas and avoid leaving litter to help fragile tropical soils recover.
Jaco transformed from a small fishing community into a surf hub over the last half-century; the tourism shift reshaped land use and created new conservation incentives in the ridgeline forests.
