My family did the zip line (kids 7 & 9)...sooo much fun. The staff is incredibily service oriented. Loved it! Saw a sloth...lizards, red tree frogs. I was a little nervous about my 7 year old...but he just loved it and made it through the whole thing. Theres a fun little surprise at the end. The pricing is right, the... More

We went on a picture perfect day and just had an amazing time. The rush you get as you zip down and look around the jungle top....AMAZING!! The guides put up with my being scared almost every time before a new line and towards the end made me feel comfortable enough so that I even smiled for the camera!!! Awesome... More

We had a great time at the sky canopy tour on Bastimentos Island! We arranged a water taxi with Jampan Tours and headed over to the island in the morning. We spent a relaxing morning at Red Frog Beach. We then hiked over to where the sky canopy tour begins. All the staff were welcoming and eager to please. We... More

Zip lining at Bastimientos was great fun! The crew was professional, animated and knowledgeable. There were 7 zip lines and a ropes course that was pretty challenging. We were with teen-agers and young adults, but the group that zip lined that day had kids as young as 5 and adults as old as 70...a good time was had by all.... More

I've done 2 zip lines in Costa Rica that were fun. This one turned out quite different and interesting. I was concerned that it would rain however was told that you will fly faster if it's raining. I had no interest in doing this in the rain. It had rained all night and then cleared in the morning. We started... More

Some of the problems we encountered were: not enough orientation or prep time before starting tour. Guides were not very friendly. Their website recommended no personal cameras (they would take professional photos). We did not take our camera and were very disappointed that no one was available to take photos. My husband incurred cuts and major bruising on his legs... More

I am picky, Adventurous, but still like it safe. We went with a group of 11 who were sailing off Panama. We heard that we could not miss the canopy tour of Bastimentos. We sailed close then took the dingy to shore... Most come by water taxi. We were 26 to 53 years old with varying degrees of risk tolerance.... More

Simply could not have been any better. Beauty beyond description, leaving you in awe. Exhilarating, just enough of a fear-factor to make it thrilling. Always felt safe, the staff was incredible: fun, knowledgeable, professionally trained, focused and totally into their jobs. Loved "Soca"! Would (and will) do it again in a heartbeat! See you next Spring break! More
