Canopy/Ziplining

Ok, so I know a lot of people want to do a canopy/ziplining tour. I decided to do some more research and post some options for you to consider.

Batey Zipline Adventure:
I can recommend these people from experience. They are amazing. They are a family owned company and have been doing this for about 6 years. They are located in Utuado, which is about 2 hours away from San Juan. When we went we did the "Batey Classic Tour". This option is for those that want to do everything in a half day adventure. Included: Visit a cave (in the water if weather permits, or in the ground ), a rappelling of approximately 70 feet of height, six different ziplines (three of them over the Tanamá Rivera) and a long walk through interpretative paths for approximately 45 minutes. This adventure has duration of 4 1/2 hours approx. For groups of six (6) to eight (8) people. The price of the Batey Classic Tour is $109.00 p/p.

La Marquesa Original Canopy Tour:
This is the same company that started canopy tours in Costa Rica. They are located in Guaynabo, so 20-30 minutes from San Juan. The tour consists of 8 traverses and 14 platforms and a rappel of 15 feet, and lasts about 2 hours. The website says it is $155 with transportation, but you probably don't need that so you may want to call to ask for a better fare.

Regardless of what you choose, make sure you make reservations at least 2 weeks in advance.
