Default Costa Rica Monteverde Cloud Forest Questions

We will be going to Costa Rica in a few months and we are thinking about
doing the Canopy Tours in Monteverde Cloud Forest.
(http://www.monteverdeinfo.com/canopy/tour-canopy.htm). We are trying to
decide if the zip-line and sky-walk are worth the time, effort and expense
of doing.

Has anyone done this tour? What did they think? How long does the zip-line
take to complete? How high up are you? Is it an adrenaline rush, or just
slow paced? Worth it?

Thanks for your feedback

Default Costa Rica Monteverde Cloud Forest Questions

We did the zip-line in Monteverde, but not the sky walk a few years back. It
was the most incredible rush and it is not to be missed! At one point we
were up really high on some platform, so you could see the Pacific Ocean
off to the west. Another one they called the broccoli forest because you
were so high up that when you looked down the tops of the trees looked like
broccoli. I can't remember how long the whole thing took, maybe 1 1/2
hours? I was nervous before the first line, but raring to go after it. We
felt very safe the whole time and our guides were very professional. TOTALLY
worth it. We also loved the Tabacon hot springs down the road a bit near
Arenal.

I believe this is the same company we used, Sky Trek. It says it lasts 2
1/2 -3 hrs.
