Free Travel Guide

An Adventure for All Ages!

A Costa Rica Sky Tram Adventure is the perfect adventure for your entire family! Your relaxed canopy tour on a Costa Rica aerial tram will allow you to explore beautiful flora and fauna with a bird’s eye view. Adventure and nature lovers alike will love the open-air gondola that floats through both tropical rainforests of Arenal Volcano National Park and cloud forests of Monteverde on a series of double-cabled lines across the top and along the floor of the forest. The gondolas usually seat approximately 6-8 passengers and have a roof to protect you from any occasional rainfall. As they quietly glide through the forest, your guide will point out tropical wildlife including birds, howler monkeys, sloths and iguanas while you enjoy breathtaking views of the canopy. Sky Tram tours usually stop at an observation deck where you’ll see even more spectacular views of the surrounding rainforests and mountains.

Sky Tram tours are great for all ages. They offer the same stunning views that you get on hanging bridges or a zip line tour. You’ll float along at the same height of the trees, allowing you to enjoy Costa Rica’s natural beauty from a unique perspective.
