Tour Description

Looking for an unforgettable way to experience Costa Rica’s rainforest—without breaking a sweat? This aerial tram adventure in Jacó is the perfect activity for all ages and fitness levels. Glide effortlessly above the jungle floor in a gondola-style tram and take in breathtaking bird’s-eye views of the lush rainforest canopy. It’s smooth, scenic, and ideal for families, couples, and anyone who wants to immerse themselves in nature without the hike.

Jaco Aerial Tram Experience

Step into your open-air gondola and begin a peaceful ascent into the rainforest canopy, rising high above the jungle floor for a completely different perspective of Costa Rica’s rich ecosystem. The tram travels slowly and smoothly along a series of cables, reaching heights of over 100 feet (30+ meters) above the ground in certain sections.

The full experience lasts approximately one hour round-trip, giving you plenty of time to soak in the sights, sounds, and fresh rainforest air. As you glide through the treetops, keep your eyes peeled for tropical birds, butterflies, monkeys, and maybe even a sloth tucked into the branches.

This is a self-guided experience, allowing you to move at your own pace and enjoy the serenity of the rainforest. However, for those who want a deeper connection to what they’re seeing, you can upgrade to include a naturalist guide. A guide can help you spot wildlife you might otherwise miss and share fascinating insights about the plants, animals, and ecosystems that make Costa Rica one of the most biodiverse places on earth.

Rainforest Adventures Park Attractions

Your visit doesn’t stop with the tram. Rainforest Adventure Park offers several additional experiences that make this a well-rounded half-day outing.

Wander through the enclosed butterfly garden, where you’ll see vibrant native species up close in a peaceful, controlled environment—perfect for photos and a closer appreciation of Costa Rica’s delicate pollinators.

Take a stroll along the well-maintained nature trails, where you’ll discover a variety of medicinal plants, towering trees, and even cacao—the source of chocolate. These trails are easy to navigate and provide a ground-level look at the rainforest’s incredible biodiversity.

Don’t miss the Sky Deck, a panoramic viewpoint that offers sweeping views of the surrounding jungle and coastline. It’s the perfect spot to pause, take photos, and truly appreciate the scale and beauty of the rainforest from above.
