Tarzan Swing

Jaw and stomach-dropping

70 feet off the jungle floor

King of the Pacuare on our Tarzan Swing

Where to find this activity: The Tarzan Swing is offered on our 3-Day Raft + Zip.

Our famous Tarzan Swing is jaw and stomach-dropping. Located at the Pacuare Eco-lodge, you’ll make your way to the edge of our launch platform, then scream or whisper “puerta” and your guide will release you over the canyon. You’ll initially drop until the slack is quickly under tension and then you’ll swing 70 feet off the ground. This is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Please note: Our zipline course has a maximum weight limit of 240 pounds.

Puerta!
Our “go word” is puerta, which is Spanish for door. This is what bull riders yell when they’re ready to ride.

Why the Pacuare

“ …perhaps the greatest, family-friendly jungle raft trip in the world.”

Our school Riverstone International School had a fantastic time with Pacuare Outdoor Center. All guides were very knowledgeable and fun! They knew how to interact with students and made all the adventure excursions fun and exciting! The food, drivers and lodging was awesome as well! Students enjoyed the fact that they got choice for food in many areas. All activities were appropriate and fun. We especially enjoyed our homestay visit and loved getting to know all the our homestay families and to be able to celebrate with them was a highlight!

We had an amazing experience during our Pacuare River trip and lodging in the rainforest with POC!  Our guides, Max, Arturio and Fernando were so friendly, fun and most of all, knowledgeable about everything!  The hand-prepared meals were outstanding.  They completely catered to my food allergies and prepared a feast for us in the middle of the jungle, not to be believed.  The private bungalow had an incredible view of the river and was pristinely decorated.

Not enough good things to say about how outstanding the experience is with POC! You think you have an idea of how much fun you will have. You think you know how well you will be treated. You think you know the amount of beauty you will experience. All of those thoughts will be exceeded beyond what you can imagine. Just book. Go. Live. Enjoy. The outstanding memories will last you a lifetime.

After much planning and conversation about wanting to do an adventure together, my friend, Sara and I chose to do a Costa Rican adventure that would challenge us both in different ways.  We love the outdoors and the exhilaration of doing something different and adventuresome,  We found it!!!
Our experience with POC was wonderful. We rappelled down waterfalls, whitewater rafted, zip lined, hiked, and did the tarzan swing and SUP. We always felt safe and encouraged (even when I was bit out of my comfort zone) as our guides explained every activity thoroughly, gave us an opportunity to practice (when possible),  and  were incredibly competent in each of their areas of expertise.
Rafa, our main guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about anything we wanted to know about Costa Rica and our fearless leader in getting us from place to place. We trusted him
for our well being as we participated in the activities.  He was kind, confident, and easy to talk to as well.
Our other guides:
Johan (repelling) was always cool calm and collect .
Max (white water rafting, zip lining, tarzan swing) had a great sense of humor an expert in all, and knew how to help people feel comfortable to engage in experiences that were new to them.
Walter (SUP) was a pleasure to be with as we shared the calm of the river and his incredible knowledge of the wildlife and scenery we observed.
Chene (our kayaker extraordinaire) was there to rescue us, should we have a rafting mishap, which, fortunately we did not need.
and we so appreciated Julian for being behind the camera lens.
This will be trip that will live forever in our hearts and our soul.
Thanks to a great team for making this a most memorable trip!!!
