Diamante Eco Adventure Park
Tourism Service in Brasilito, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Diamante Eco Adventure Park is an oceanfront adventure park in Guanacaste for ziplining, a rescued-wildlife sanctuary, a botanical-garden cultural stop, and beach time in one outing. From Brasilito and nearby north Pacific towns—Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, Ocotal, Flamingo, Playa Grande, Tamarindo, and the Papagayo Peninsula—it works as a half-day or full day. The drive from Guanacaste Airport (LIR) is about 40 minutes and does not need four-wheel drive from Liberia.
The park opens at 8:30 and closes at 4:30 every day of the year. That window covers a two-hour zip-line circuit, the sanctuary, coffee and cacao at the traditional house, lunch, and Hammock Beach if you arrive near opening.
Passes that match different groups
Activities are sold as passes. The Diamante Adventure Pass is the full-day bundle: zip lining, the animal sanctuary, the cultural experience, beach activities, and buffet lunch, listed from $125 for ages 5 and up.
The Superman Costa Rica Zipline Pass, from $80, covers about 1.5 to 2 hours on the ocean-view dual zipline for ages 5 and up. The Wildlife Sanctuary pass, from $45, runs about two hours for all ages. The Cultural Experience Tour, from $58, lasts about two hours and includes coffee, cacao, and sugarcane plus sanctuary access on a Discovery Pass. An Aerial Pass also includes the Superman zip line.
Horseback riding is a separate one-hour tour for ages 8 and up, private or in a group, on beach and beachside trails. ATV tours use marked mountain trails with forest and beach views. Personal guides cost $45 per hour. Tour-operator guides may join Discovery, Aerial, and Adventure Pass clients at no extra charge and receive lunch.
Mixed-age families often want the Adventure Pass so non-riders still have animals, the garden, lunch, and the beach. Guests who only want canopy time can stay with the Superman or Aerial pass. Young children below zip-line weight still have the sanctuary, casita, jungle course, and waterfront. Large groups, corporate retreats, and special events can request tailored packages. Line up ages and weights with the 60 to 280 pound (27 to 130 kg) zip-line range, decide on lunch, and say if you need a Papagayo or Tamarindo shuttle.
Superman zipline, Quick Jump, and jungle course
The dual-line course lets two people fly side by side. A typical flow starts on a shorter bunny-slope cable, then a truck ride up to the Superman line—a nearly mile-long (about 1.5 km) face-down flight over forest and ocean. It is Costa Rica's longest dual-line and the country's only ocean-view dual zipline. Riders finish by walking a hanging bridge over crocodiles into the animal sanctuary. Total tour time is about two hours, including a safety talk and harness fitting.
The aerial area also has a 30-foot free-fall Quick Jump. The course follows ACCT standards, with carbon lines and automatic braking. Closed-toed shoes with rigid soles are mandatory. Tie long hair back and remove jewelry. Handheld cameras and selfie sticks stay off the lines; a chest-harness or helmet-mounted action camera is allowed. Photographers cover the Superman line and sell packages afterward.
Children may ride Superman at 60 pounds and up. Anyone under 18 needs signed parental consent, and children under 10 must be with a parent or guardian. Every guest signs a waiver; the digital form can be completed before the Welcome Center. No special climbing skill is required.
A low-ropes jungle course with balance obstacles, climbing elements, swings, monkey bars, and a rock wall gives younger guests and anyone below zip-line limits an active option.
Wildlife sanctuary and the casita garden
The Animal Sanctuary is home to animals that cannot return to the wild, viewed at a safe distance in habitats designed around natural settings. Species include frogs, snakes, crocodiles, spider monkeys, white-faced monkeys, white-nosed coatis, raccoons, tapirs, toucans and other birds, a butterfly observatory, sloths, and cats including pumas and jaguars. Staff work with biologists, veterinarians, and SINAC, Costa Rica's wildlife agency. Some animals arrived after confiscation of illegal pets or smuggling attempts.
Stay behind fences. Do not feed, call to, touch, or pose with animals, and skip flash photography. Shirts and shoes are required. Smoking and vaping are banned on the property, including the parking lot. Pets are not allowed, including in cars. Children 15 and under must be with an adult.
The cultural program sits in the botanical garden, on shaded paths among fruit trees, medicinal plants, native flowers, coffee, and organic sugarcane. A traditional casita, modeled on a rural farmhouse from about a hundred years ago, is the setting for coffee, chocolate, and sugarcane. Guests see cacao dried and ground, take part in chocolate making, learn how coffee is harvested and processed, and can press cane for agua dulce. The garden also links the beach, sanctuary, and Welcome Center. A butterfly observatory includes morphos and metamorphosis displays, with frog, toad, and snake exhibits nearby.
Horseback, ATVs, and Hammock Beach
More than a hundred acres of trails stay inside the property. Horseback rides run through beachside forest down to the sand with professional riding staff. ATV routes climb marked mountain tracks; after rains they can be wet and green, typical of Guanacaste's wet season.
Hammock Beach is the oceanfront rest zone, with hanging chairs, hammocks, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkel gear. The Adventure Pass includes those water activities; staff help launch boards and kayaks and can take guests out to paddle and snorkel. Internal shuttles link the Welcome Center, sanctuary, beach, and parking lot.
Food is split across three spots. The Welcome Center restaurant serves an ocean-view Costa Rican buffet with vegetarian and gluten-free options; mention dietary needs on arrival. The Adventure Center Bar and Grill has burgers, hot dogs, and drinks. El Patio, by the Sloth Courtyard, serves cold drinks, smoothies, daiquiris, and snacks.
Timing, transport, and a north Pacific day
Reserve a Superman slot in advance; last-minute visits are taken when space remains. A free shuttle runs between the RIU hotel and the park. Paid land and water transfers, plus pickups from most major hotels in Papagayo and Tamarindo, need a reservation. From Flamingo in dry season, Route 911 and the Congo Trail can keep a sedan off river crossings.
Start near 8:30 if zip lining is the priority, then move to the sanctuary and casita, eat, and finish at the beach before 4:30. Lightning or strong wind can pause activities; rain alone does not close the park, and weather is not a refund. Cancellations inside 24 hours and no-shows are invoiced. Date changes are free when space exists, in writing to reservations.
Wear comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent, and pack a swimsuit for the water. From Brasilito, Conchal, or Flamingo, this is the inland-and-ocean activity day, with time to return for dinner. From Papagayo, the hotel shuttle makes it a no-car outing. Families can put riders on the first zip-line wave while others begin at the sloths and casita, then meet at the buffet, which uses the 8:30–4:30 clock without cutting the two-hour canopy or the culture and sanctuary blocks.
