Original Canopy Tour
The Original Canopy Tour was born in 1994 in Monteverde, Costa Rica, as the world’s very first zipline experience. It was created by Darren Hreniuk, who pioneered this innovative way of exploring the cloud forest from above, blending adventure with conservation. Unlike typical thrill rides, this tour was designed as an educational and eco-conscious experience, allowing visitors to glide from tree to tree while learning about the forest’s biodiversity. Over time, the tour has evolved with cutting-edge safety features like the Hrope™ cable and dual-line system, remaining a leader in sustainable adventure tourism.
