Miss Sky Canopy Tour — Local services in Nosara

We visited Nosara in June during rainy season so we were hesitant to book our excursion in advance as it was all weather dependent. The day before, I contacted Miss Sky Tours via WhatsApp as that is the only way to communicate with them. They have 2 tours a day, the first one is 7:30-11:30 and the second is 12:30-4:30. There was only one time slot over the next two days and after checking Google for the weather, we made our decision and arrived the very next day at 7:30am. The night before we received a text about what to expect and we followed it to the tee. If you plan to take a backpack, you have to leave it in the office as having anything on your back during the zip line can and will slow you down. A small fanny pack is fine but if you have zippered shorts that is even better. We had our money in our backpack and was little hesitant to leave it but someone stays in the office the entire time you are on the tour, so everything was safe and secure. You cannot leave your belongings on the transport because you literally hop into a military grade truck covered with a canopy and benches for seating. There are no doors or windows and everything is out in the open so your items are not secure. After signing in, you are fitted with a stinky helmet and damp gear. Although I caught a slight whiff of lysol, there was a musty stench associated with the gear that all but ensures that you will have to thoroughly scrub your hair and body. After we loaded up, it was about a 30-45 minute drive up the mountain to our destination. While on our drive, a truck carrying bags of cement, got a flat tire and our crew stopped and helped him with fix his tire. It took less than 10 minutes and everyone appreciated the hospitality as that is something you almost never see in the states. After reaching our destination, we were handed leather gloves with padding and then the guys went over proper hand placement and etc. It was my son's first time to zip line and there were also a couple of adults who had never zip lined before; everyone got the hang of it from the start. After the first zip, we hiked a steep climb to the next one but after that there were no more hikes until we went to the waterfalls, which you experience after about 7 zips. It was a humid day, so taking a dip in the waterfall felt wonderful. After about 20 minutes, we hiked back for our last zip line to the truck and we were back around 11:20-11:25. It was a great experience, the guides were nice and also provided water a couple of times during the trip. For $75/adult and $50/children up to 12, we thought it was well worth the pice and we felt we got our...

My friends recommended I do the zip line while in the area on holiday. It was just as great as they led me to believe, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I appreciated that we didn’t have to climb towers to get to the top of each line, but participants should know that after the first zip line, there is a short, steep hike uphill of about 100m, which gets hot quickly. I found the perfect branch to serve as a walking stick, which was helpful. I’d recommend bringing a large water bottle (1L or more), or two smaller (500ml) ones; though water is “provided,” it was maybe 200ml, and warm, and only provided once (after the steep hill). I went through that, as well as my 500 mL water bottle, before we were even halfway done. One of the staff was nice enough to let me refill my water bottle from his 4L jug, but if you care about your kidneys, pack your own water. The staff were incredibly friendly and engaging, and they are expert zip liners themselves. I am on a smaller side, so there were a handful of zip lines where they had to pull me in, or come out and get me. It was amazing to watch them flip upside down, and “run“ along the length of the zip line while pushing me along. I came in the dry season, so did not see the waterfall, but some reviewers mentioned, but zip lining through the hills, over the canopies, and over a couple small rivers was a...

This is a zip lining tour only!!! The company website along with previous reviews mentioned going to a waterfall and pools where you can swim. We specifically booked this tour because it had both zip lining and the waterfall/pools which sounded refreshing after zip lining & becoming very hot & sweaty. This is 💯 false. When asked when we would go to the waterfall the driver lied to us and said a tree had fallen blocking the path. When we got back to the main office I requested 1 adult refund for our party of 9 which the manager fought the request stating their tour is zip lining only and this is not always something they do. I told her my husband is afraid of heights and specifically asked before purchase if he could pay to just ride along, avoiding any zip lining and just see the waterfalls. He was told he had to zip line in order to get there. Completely mislead!! This is not how you do business… On a positive note the actual employees securing the zip lining were fantastic, fun, & great with the younger kids in...
