Canopy Safari
 The
obligatory canopy safari tour is an exhilarating adventure located
in Manuel Antonio. Invented in Costa Rica, the tour zips you through
rainforest tree-tops, across 9 wires and down 3 rappel lines. You
begin your journey with a drive through the rainforest, where your
friendly guides will point out everything from squirrel monkeys
hiding in the trees to stems of a henna plant transported from Africa.
Once you arrive at the Canopy Safari Ranch, you will be greeted
with either a full-Tico breakfast or lunch, depending on the time
of your tour. When you’re ready to go, you will be given explicit
safety instructions and outfitted with your zipping gear. After
the initial zip across and above a small river, you begin your hike
into the rainforest, where tree-stumps line the path of your ascent.
Make sure to keep an eye out for animals while you're hiking. If
you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the very rare Honduran
white bat.
After your hike, you will begin zipping from tree-top to tree-top,
landing on man-made platforms made especially for this adventure.
Three heart-pounding rappel lines are included in the tour, and
Canopy Safari is the only canopy tour in Costa Rica that offers
the rappel. The trip lasts a few hours and you are given the chance
to go for a refreshing swim in a local river immediately following
the tour.
