Arenal Canopy and Horseback Riding Adventure

The perfect mix: a thrilling zipline experience combined with a relaxing horseback ride. Only 5 minutes away from Tabacon Resort.

The tour begins in our stables and continues through “El Silencio Reserve,"  a quiet place with trails that gradually climb through cattle-grazing fields to patches of forest. You will enjoy the large shade trees as well as a variety of flora and fauna. We will visit the lagoon crater and the Arenal Volcano viewpoint, two of the most impressive attractions in the area. From this viewpoint, you can take breathtaking pictures of your horse with the volcano as your backdrop. Here, you will also observe impressive rock mountains, the product of past eruptions of the volcano.

If everyone knew the benefits of horseback riding as a recreational activity, we would not have enough horses to go around. Feel how each gallop increases your self-esteem, self-confidence, and love for living creatures, and even forget the existence of your cell phone except to capture a good photograph.

The second part of this combo tour will begin at our zipline park, Arenal Canopy Adventure. Our expert zipline guides will welcome you before helping you into your gear and providing a safety briefing. Next, we will head up the first platform with a height of 25 meters (80 feet.) to begin our way across 8 cables that will take us through 2 km (1.2 miles) of beautiful rainforest.

This zipline circuit consists of 13 platforms, including four built-in enormous trees with a specialized anchor system that allows the trees to grow unharmed. The cables range in height from 20 m. (65 ft.) to 90 m. (300 ft.) and between 70 m. (230 ft.) and 600 m. (1970 feet) in length. This allows you to reach speeds of up to 56 kph (35 mph)! Each cable has distinct dimensions and scenery. We will fly above canyons, mountains, farmlands, and lush rainforests.

By the time we reach the 6th cable, your confidence level will be high, so you can let go and let the guide control your braking while you focus only on the views and the thrill of the ride. Next, we will stop for the popular Tarzan Swing and our surprise challenge.
