I’m scared of heights, I don’t even like being in a glass elevator that only goes up 5 floors! So thinking of doing something where you’re flying through the air several feet above the ground gave me a little anxiety attack; but as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do one thing everyday that scares you.” Luckily Chicabrava has a wonderful canopy tour group that they recommend (Flying Frog), and they set up the whole experience for us. When we arrived at the tour company, we found it was just going to be four of us on the tour. We were joined by a Mother and Son from Germany, Sebastian and Nicoli…about the same ages as Alex and me. Nicoli was even more nervous than me! After setting us up with all the gear, our guides drove us up to the starting platform. The ride up very much felt like the Safari ride at Animal Kingdom in Disney World and kept waiting to hear repeated announcements about keeping your hands in the truck! There were 17 platforms in all, but the first two were very mild. It was a great way to get the jitters out before getting to the more intense, longer and steeper rides. After about 5 platforms, I was totally over my nerves and ready to see if I could go faster!! Our guide was super sweet and he took control of my phone and took pictures and videos of us throughout the experience. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a great picture of the view of looking down on San Juan Del Sur and the ocean that was so beautiful, but this one isn’t bad…includes a nervous Nicoli!! Such an amazing experience and I will totally put Zipline Tours at the top of any trip I do in the future!
