What’s inside

Five things you can only do here

Diamante is the only oceanfront adventure park in Costa Rica. You do not drive between sites — the zipline, the sanctuary, the farmhouse and the beach are all on the same 100+ acres.

The Sanctuary

Wildlife that cannot go back to the wild lives here

Diamante works with Costa Rica’s wildlife authority, SINAC, to take in animals confiscated from smugglers or kept illegally as pets. Every habitat is built around the animal, and every animal has a name and a story.

  • Lucy the sloth, rescued from a power line near houses
  • Two jaguars confiscated in Ciudad Quesada as cubs
  • Bob, Dylan, Ronaldo and Messi, yellow-throated toucans seized by SINAC
  • Balú’s troop of white-faced monkeys, moved here when they could not survive in the forest

Costa Rican culture

Coffee, chocolate and agua dulce in the botanical garden

Walk shaded paths past fruit trees and medicinal plants to the Traditional House — a farmhouse built to match homes from more than 100 years ago in Guanacaste. A guide takes you through three crops that shaped the country.

  • Cacao: follow beans from pod to dried, then grind and make your own chocolate.
  • Coffee: see how it is grown, harvested and processed, and why Costa Rican beans are famous.
  • Sugar cane: press organic cane yourself and drink the agua dulce it makes.

The Cultural Experience Tour includes the Wildlife Sanctuary Discovery Pass, so you can meet the animals the same day.

Full day of fun

“I had an awesome time at Diamante. I bought the All Adventure Pass which was so worth it. Zip-lining was awesome and the staff is extremely efficient. I spent part of the day at the beach which is extremely chill and relaxing, with great views!”

Adrian T · TripAdvisor
Awesome experience

“This place is incredible! Really organized, efficient, great staff, beautiful scenery. The ziplining was the best. The horseback riding was really pleasant, we went all the way down to the beach, which had a beautiful view. Highly recommend going!”

Nicholas H · TripAdvisor
A must visit

“We loved our time at the animal sanctuary. The guides were very knowledgeable and it was cool to see so many amazing animals and reptiles up close! Definitely worth the opportunity to see animals you won't see anywhere else.”

All FAQs

Before you book

Questions guests ask first

Is the zipline included in my park admission?

The Superman zipline is included with both the Diamante Adventure Pass and the Superman Costa Rica Zipline Pass. The Adventure Pass is the best value: it adds the Animal Sanctuary, the Cultural Experience, Hammock Beach and the buffet lunch.

Can children ride the Superman zipline?

Yes. Children can fly as long as they weigh at least 60 lb (27 kg) for the short lines and Quick Jump, or 85 lb (40 kg) to complete the full circuit including Superman. The maximum weight is 280 lb (130 kg). Guests under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

What should I wear?

Closed-toed shoes with rigid soles are mandatory for all adventure activities — no flip-flops or slip-ons. Wear comfortable clothes, bring sunscreen and insect repellent, tie back long hair and remove jewellery before the zipline.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes. Advance booking is strongly recommended to guarantee your preferred time for the Superman zipline and other activities. Last-minute reservations are accepted when space is available.

What happens if it rains?

Diamante operates 365 days a year, including in the green season. In lightning or extreme wind, activities may be briefly delayed or rescheduled for safety. Refunds are not issued for weather, but dates can be changed free of charge subject to availability.
