Review · CANOPY TOURS
Canopy Tour Experience in Sayulita, Nuevo Nayarit.
Sayulita’s treetops make a fine playground. This canopy tour combines 13 zip lines, four suspension bridges, and a 2-kilometer route with broad views from heights reaching 125 meters above sea level. I especially like the well-trained guides and quality PETZL equipment, plus the simple convenience of pickup from many Sayulita hotels, villas, and Airbnbs.
I also like the range of the route. Two lines are double lines, so you can ride beside someone else, while the bridges add a slower change of pace between the faster runs. The main consideration is height and motion: two lines may include upside-down or spinning moves, which can be uncomfortable if you deal with vertigo.
Key points at a glance

- 13 zip lines cover about 2 kilometers, giving you a substantial route rather than one quick ride.
- Two double lines let you zip beside another person, a fun touch for couples, friends, and families.
- Four suspension bridges break up the speed and add a different kind of challenge.
- Guides focus on safety and comfort, with guests praising Angelo, Fernando, Alex, Luis, Lupe, and Danny for their humor and care.
- Pickup, water, and a tequila tasting are included, while photos and tips cost extra.
- The route reaches up to 125 meters above sea level, so anyone prone to vertigo should think carefully before booking.
What the two-hour route is really like
The advertised duration is about two hours, though the timing can change with the size of the group. That matters because a larger party may take longer at launch points, while a smaller group may move more quickly. The maximum group size is 30 people, so this is not a private outing by default.
The route includes 13 lines in total. That is enough variety to make the activity feel like a full excursion, not a quick add-on squeezed between beach time and lunch. You will move through the treetops, cross four suspension bridges, and reach high points with views over the surrounding area.
The exact order of the lines and bridges is not specified, so I would not expect a rigid, identical sequence on every departure. The group’s pace and operating conditions can affect how the two-hour route unfolds. Your guides will explain each section as you go.
The four suspension bridges are useful for variety. Zip lines deliver speed and height, but bridges give you a chance to slow down, look around, and regain your balance. If you are nervous at the start, that change of rhythm can help. If you came mainly for speed, the bridges may feel like pauses between the best runs.
Two of the lines are double lines. I like this feature because it gives you a shared moment rather than sending everyone through one at a time. It can be especially enjoyable for a couple, parent and child, or two friends who want to react to the ride together.

The guides make the difference

A canopy course is only as enjoyable as the staff running it. Here, the guides receive especially strong praise for being funny, attentive, and careful about personal comfort.
Angelo and Fernando are specifically credited with keeping one group laughing while making the outing memorable. Alex, Luis, Lupe, and Danny are also singled out for their entertaining style. You should expect a lively atmosphere, not a silent, mechanical trip from platform to platform.
The humor seems to work alongside clear safety instructions. Guests describe the staff as focused on safety, respectful of different comfort levels, and careful to explain how each line works. That is important if you are trying zip lining for the first time.
I would still make your comfort level clear before the activity begins. If you do not want to spin or ride upside down, say so directly. One participant with vertigo found those sections unpleasant, even though the rest of the outing was enjoyable. The guides appear attentive, but you should not assume they know your limits unless you tell them.
The equipment is listed as PETZL brand, a respected name in climbing and technical safety gear. That does not remove the need to listen closely, but it is reassuring to know the tour uses professional equipment rather than generic recreational gear.
Height, speed, and the upside-down option

The course reaches heights of up to 125 meters above sea level. That figure describes the elevation of the route, not necessarily the height of every platform above the ground. Still, the course includes enough height and speed to feel like a real aerial adventure.
The braking system receives particular praise. You will need to slow down at the end of each run, and the guides explain the process before you ride. The combination of clear instruction and controlled braking helps explain why families describe feeling safe during the activity.
Some sections may involve going upside down or spinning. Those moves are not ideal for everyone. If you get dizzy easily, are uncomfortable with rotation, or simply want a calmer ride, ask the guides about your options before starting.
This is one of the few drawbacks that deserves real attention. A person who loves speed may find the extra movement exciting. Someone prone to vertigo may find it takes away from the fun. The experience is not only about courage. It is also about knowing what kind of motion your body handles well.
Families can have a good time here

The feedback includes a family with four- and eight-year-old daughters. The children were initially nervous, but the guides helped them feel secure, and they became confident enough to try riding upside down without using their hands.
That is encouraging for families, but it is not a blanket guarantee that every child can participate. The supplied information says most people can take part, but it does not provide minimum ages, height rules, weight limits, or other child requirements. If you are booking with young children, confirm those details before paying.
For families who meet the operator’s requirements, the course offers a useful mix of shared and individual moments. The double lines allow two people to ride together, while the guides can help nervous participants adjust to the equipment and the height.
I would avoid pressuring a child who does not want to continue. The strongest feature of the staff is their attention to comfort. Let the guides work with the child at their own pace, and remember that the tour includes several lines, not just one quick attempt.

Pickup makes the outing easier

Complimentary transportation is available from most official departure points, including many hotels, villas, and Airbnbs in Sayulita. After booking, you need to provide the name or address of your accommodation so the operator can arrange the pickup.
This is valuable in Sayulita, where an adventure outing can become less appealing if you must organize separate transport. Pickup also helps you avoid guessing where to meet the group. You should provide accurate lodging information as soon as possible so the arrangement goes smoothly.
The tour is offered in English. That is useful for visitors who want safety instructions and route explanations in English. The information provided does not specify a multilingual guide schedule, so if you need another language, ask before booking.
Transportation is included from the official departure points, but the details do not promise pickup from every address in the wider area. If you are staying outside Sayulita, confirm eligibility rather than assuming the complimentary ride applies.
Water and tequila add small comforts

Water is included, which is a practical touch for an active outing in a warm climate. I would still plan to arrive ready for physical activity, since the course includes multiple lines, bridges, climbing or walking between sections, and time on your feet.
The tour also includes a tequila tasting. It gives the excursion a distinctly Mexican finish and adds a social moment after the physical part of the route. Keep in mind that the information does not describe the type, number, or size of tastings, so treat it as a short included extra rather than the main reason to book.
Photos are not included. If you want pictures of the experience, expect that they may cost extra. Since your hands will be occupied during the activity, you should not count on taking your own photos while riding. Ask about the photo option before setting out if pictures matter to you.
Tips are also not included. They are optional, but you may want to budget for one if the guides give you the safety support and good humor praised throughout the feedback.
Is $114.99 a fair price?

At $114.99 per person, this is not a bargain-priced quick thrill. The value depends on how much use you make of the full package.
You are paying for about two hours of guided activity, 13 lines, four suspension bridges, professional PETZL equipment, transportation from qualifying Sayulita accommodations, water, and a tequila tasting. The 2-kilometer route gives the price more substance than a single zip line or short platform course.
I see the price as reasonable if you want a central adventure activity and appreciate having transportation arranged. It is less compelling if you are only mildly curious about zip lining, dislike heights, or would be satisfied with a brief ride.
The group limit of 30 is worth noting. A full group can create more waiting at certain points, and the duration varies with capacity. In exchange, the larger outing may feel lively and social. If you want a quiet, private experience, this may not be the right format.
The tour is often booked about 10 days ahead. That suggests you should not leave it until the last minute during a busy Sayulita stay, especially if you need a particular date or pickup arrangement.
What to bring and how to prepare

The supplied details do not list a formal packing guide, so I would keep your preparation simple. Wear clothing suitable for an active outdoor outing and choose secure footwear for the suspension bridges and route between platforms.
You will receive water, but it still makes sense to begin hydrated. The activity involves repeated rides and movement, not just standing at a viewpoint.
Tell the guides if you have vertigo or dislike spinning. You should also mention if you are nervous before the first line. The staff are praised for respecting comfort levels, and early communication gives them a fair chance to help.
Do not count on included photos. If a photo package is available, ask about it before you begin. Also remember that tips are separate from the tour price.
Cancellation and booking details
You receive confirmation when you book. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Canceling within 24 hours, or making changes during that period, does not qualify for a refund.
The cutoff uses local time. I would check your schedule carefully before reserving, especially if your plans depend on weather, cruise timing, or a late arrival in Sayulita.
Should you book the Sayulita canopy tour?
I would book this tour if you want a substantial zip-line outing with several different elements, rather than a short ride and a quick return. The 13 lines, double runs, four bridges, high points, pickup, and strong guide presence make it a well-rounded choice for couples, active families, and first-time zip liners who want reassurance.
I would pause if you have serious vertigo or strongly dislike upside-down and spinning movement. Ask the operator what alternatives are available before booking, since those features are part of the course experience.
At $114.99, the tour earns its value through the length of the route and the included transportation, water, and tasting. Book ahead by about a week and a half if possible, provide your accommodation details promptly, and tell the guides your limits. For the right kind of adventurer, this is a fun, well-supported way to trade Sayulita’s beach for the treetops.
