Sunset Zipline Experience in Guanacaste — Night Canopy Tour Near Tamarindo
Float above Guanacaste’s treetops as the sun slips into the Pacific. This 90-minute sunset-to-night zipline circuit near Tamarindo pairs coastal views with a guided, helmet-lit finish through the forest canopy.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive hydrated
Bring water and sip before the tour—heat and adrenaline both pull moisture quickly; refillable bottles are fine though bottled water is provided.
Dress for dusk
Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes to protect against harness chafe and cooler evening air.
Secure your gear
Use straps or leave phones in lockers; the course moves quickly and loose items can be lost or dangerous.
Expect helmet lamps
A lamp is mounted on helmets for the night section, but bring a small headlamp if you prefer extra light for landings.
