NEW!! Sayulita Jungle Thrills: Canopy Tour & Zip-line Adventure
Book on Viator →Operated by Tours Mexico · Bookable on Viator
Treetop time in Sayulita is pure adrenaline. I like that this tour strings together 13 zip lines with suspension bridges, so it feels like a full circuit (not just a couple of short runs). You’ll be up high too, with jumps reaching around 125 meters at points, plus a 2 km total course through the treetops.
I also appreciate the nuts-and-bolts safety side: you’re outfitted with quality PETZL gear (helmet and harness) and get a briefing before you fly. If you want a break from the beach scene, you’ll also get a tequila tasting and time at a swimming pool after the zip lines, which makes the whole 2-hour block feel like more than “just thrills.”
One heads-up: this is a hands-on, height-in-the-air adventure. If you don’t like heights, won’t feel steady with harness gear, or want a super chill activity, you might find it a bit intense—especially with those long lines and bridge crossings.

First Look: Sayulita Jungle Thrills in Plain Terms
This is an outdoor canopy tour based in Sayulita, built around speed, height, and quick changes in scenery as you move across the treetops. The tour runs about 2 hours for most people, though timing can shift with group size.
You’re paying $129 per person, which sounds like a lot until you look at what’s included. Here you get the full safety setup, expert bilingual guiding, transportation from most local accommodations, and a couple of add-ons (tequila tasting and pool time) that help justify the total price.
It’s also sized for a manageable crew: up to 15 travelers, which tends to keep things lively without turning into a cattle-car operation.
The 2-Kilometer Course: 13 Lines, 4 Suspension Bridges

The main event is a zip-line circuit that covers about 2 kilometers and includes 13 lines plus 4 suspension bridges. In practice, that mix matters. A tour that’s only short zips can feel repetitive. Here, the bridges add variety, pacing, and those “take a breath” moments where you’re still moving but not just flying straight.
You’ll also hit moments of real height—up to around 125 meters above sea level. That height isn’t there for show; it’s what creates those long views and the sense of floating. If you’re the kind of person who likes pictures, you’ll probably want to keep your camera protected and ready for the best angles, but follow your guide’s safety instructions first.
Also note the two double lines. That’s one of the smarter touches of this tour because it gives you a chance to ride with a partner or share the experience in sync, instead of only zipping solo.
Safety and Comfort: PETZL Gear and a Real Briefing

Safety is a big part of why this tour feels worth it. You’ll be provided with helmet, waist-to-thigh harness, and gloves, all from PETZL, plus a briefing before you start.
That briefing is where you get your “how this works” confidence: how to wear the harness, how to position your body, and what to expect when you approach platforms and bridges. Even if you’ve done zip lines before, I’d still treat the briefing as important—each operator and setup can have its own rhythm.
One practical consideration: with harnesses, gloves, and a helmet, you’re going to feel more secure than you would with a casual approach. But you’ll also want to wear footwear that feels stable. The tour description doesn’t tell you what to bring, so you’ll want to ask what they recommend for clothing and shoes, especially if you’re arriving from sandals or a beach day.
The Flow of the Day: What Happens When You Arrive

This tour starts in Sayulita, with the experience ending back at the same meeting point. Pickup is offered, and after the zip-line portion, you get extras that help you stretch the experience beyond the ride itself.
Since it runs about 2 hours, the schedule is likely tight: brief instructions, then moving through the course without long downtime. With a maximum of 15 people, you generally won’t be stuck waiting forever at each platform.
The good part of the timing is that it won’t eat your whole day. You can still plan beach time before or after, depending on your energy level.
Tequila Tasting and Pool Time: The Part Most People Forget to Plan For

One reason I like this tour package is that it doesn’t just stop at the canopy ride. You also get tequila tasting, plus access to a swimming pool, and you’ll be provided purified water.
The tequila tasting is great if you want a taste of the area without turning it into a separate activity. Just treat it like what it is—an extra, not a guaranteed party. If you’re traveling with kids, remember they may not participate in the tasting, but the rest of the tour still works well as a group day.
The pool matters more than people expect. After you’ve been harnessed, moving, and getting a bit of jungle dust on you, pool time is a quick reset.
Who This Zip-Line Adventure Works Best For

This is often a good fit for families and mixed-age groups because it’s not a long multi-day trek. The tour also says most travelers can participate, and the group size stays reasonable.
The best signal from the experience feedback is that it works for kids too. One standout detail from the reviews: a family did it with their 9-year-old and 13-year-old, and they all had fun—adults included. If you’re looking for an activity away from the beach that still feels family-friendly, this is the kind of setup that can deliver.
You’ll likely enjoy it most if you:
- want a high-energy break from the sand
- like active days with guided structure
- enjoy views from above (and can handle heights)
- prefer a single guided outing that includes the “extras,” like tequila tasting and pool time
If your ideal vacation day is quiet, flat, and low-effort, this may feel too thrilling.
Price Check: Is $129 Good Value?

Let’s be real: $129 per person is only “worth it” if the experience covers more than the thrill. In this case, it does.
Here’s what you get for that price:
- Expert bilingual tour guides
- All equipment (helmet, harness, gloves) and briefing
- Roundtrip transportation from your accommodation or meeting points in Sayulita
- Tequila tasting
- Swimming pool time
- Purified water
- All taxes
When a zip-line tour forces you to pay separately for gear, transportation, and basic extras, the price can creep up. This one packages a lot of those elements into a single fee, which keeps your planning simple.
Meeting Point and Pickup: Easy Start in Sayulita

The main starting point is listed as Sayulita Atvs, Horseback and Zip Line Tours, at Carretera higuera blanca km 1.3, 63734 Sayulita, Nay., Mexico. The activity ends back at the same meeting point.
If you want pickup, it’s offered from many accommodations. After you reserve, you’ll be asked to provide your accommodation name or address so transportation can be set up.
Two helpful notes for day-of ease:
- the meeting point is described as near public transportation
- pickup is described as available from the majority of hotels, villas, and Airbnbs in Sayulita (so if you’re staying in a smaller place, it’s smart to confirm)
Practical Tips That Make This Tour Go Smooth
I’d plan this day like you’re going to be outside and active. You’ll have protective gear on, but you’ll still be moving through a natural setting. Also keep your expectations aligned with the format: you’re looking at 2 hours, so it’s fast-paced by design.
A few practical ways to feel more comfortable:
- Wear footwear that won’t slip easily.
- Bring a plan for personal items (phone, glasses, small bag). If you can, keep valuables to a minimum.
- If you’re bringing kids, double-check that they’re comfortable following instructions quickly; this kind of tour runs on timing.
And yes, because there’s a tequila tasting, it’s worth thinking about how that fits with your group plans afterward.
Booking and Cancellation: Keep Your Plans Flexible
Confirmation is received at booking, and the tour offers free cancellation. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and if you cancel within 24 hours, the amount paid isn’t refunded.
That flexibility is a nice safety net, especially when you’re scheduling around weather.
Should You Book Sayulita Jungle Thrills?
I’d book it if you want a guided canopy adventure that feels like a complete activity, not a quick stunt. The combination of 13 lines, 4 suspension bridges, Petzl gear, and a time that also includes tequila tasting plus a pool makes the whole thing feel like a package day.
I’d skip it if you strongly dislike heights or know you get anxious with harnesses and time spent suspended. Also, if your budget is tight, compare the “included” value carefully—this one is priced as a full program.
If you’re traveling as a family, this setup looks especially promising based on how it worked for families with kids in the 9–13 range. It’s the kind of day that can turn into the most memorable “not-the-beach” moment.
