Sky Trek information:
Sky Trek is a thrilling zip-line circuit that’s located in the magical forests of Arenal. Your tour will start riding an open-air gondola from the ground to the highest point of the mountain where you’ll be dropped off at an observation area to admire fantastic views of the Arenal Volcano, Arenal Lake, and the surrounding forests. From this area, you will start riding down a unique zipline circuit that stretches across canyons, going from one mountain to another, and in between treetops. It truly is an exhilarating adventure zip-lining down the mountains.
At our Sky Trek in Arenal, you ride the tram up the mountain and then get back to the base riding our thrilling ziplines, making it a perfect adventure activity with no walking segments – get off and jump onto the next cable.
