We had a great time. The crew was extremely friendly and professional. The place appears well maintained and the views were spectacular.
A fun afternoon goofing around in the tree tops and that’s from a guy who is afraid of heights and had never zip lined before!

Osa Mountain Adventures

Every adventure your heart desires in the Osa Peninsula area. Try our zipline canopy tour & tarzan swing if you aren't afraid of heights. Spend a lazy day floating down a local river or an adrenalin filled day whitewater rafting on one of the three great local rivers. If the ocean is your thing we offer whale and dolphin tours during the season, snorkeling out at Cano Island, and ocean & river sport fishing that will blow you away. If hiking is more your speed we have many day and nighttime hikes to choose from including tours of Corcovado National Park where you'll visit one of the most bio-diverse places on the planet. If you like the beach you might want to try kayaking in Marino Ballena National Park. If you are into birding our 750 acre property is a gold mine with many species having been sighted. We also have horseback riding tours and ATV tours that will get you off the beaten path.

There are plenty of zip lines to choose from in Costa Rica, but this one really puts you in the middle (and the top) of the rain forest! The lines are connected the trees, and some of the platforms are only connected to a tree-...MoreThanks for the great review of the canopy tour. we appreciate your business.

Parque Nacional Marino Bahia Ballena

Reviewed By SueEly - Ely, UK

Parked near playa uvita from where we entered the park. The facilities at the park entrance are basic but adequate (showers, loos).
The beach is pristine, so anything you want, you need to take with you, drinking water and food. The beach is large and there are plenty of secluded spaces where you can sit and enjoy the views of the sea. It is busiest near the whale tail, but since we went at high tide, we had ample space.
The water was clear and warm and since we had no problems with currents since we stayed near the reef protrusions, so we were sheltered. We were told that further along there could be rip tides, but did not see them.
