We are thinking of doing this in early March.

1. is it worth it?
2. Any company you would recommend?
3. Any tips?

I haven't done it n PR, but I did it in Nicaragua. It was really fun, so I would say its worth it.

1) if you like it, it's worth it? I like it.

2) I've done this one. toroverdepr.com/en/

3) Wear comfy clothes.

I don't do zip lining, lol. Sorry Cran!! No recs for you, but I've found tripadvisor to be helpful in looking for stuff like this for other vacays.

Where are you staying again? The hotel may have companies they work with directly.

I believe I did it with Acampa tours in 2008. I did not do Toro Negro, but the other one which has a cave that you go in first, and then later can look up to when you cross the river to do get to the zip-lining place.  Food was provided, but there was no running water, so the public restroom is clean, but it's those things you sit on a hole in a private box. 

Is it worth it?  Yes, if you've never done it.  It's for 4+ hours, so keep that in mind.  The drive to there is also about 45 minutes.  The staff and the owner is nice.

Bring waterproof camera, or upload all of your digital pics in case you lose/damage your camera during the swim-up.  I would recommend e-mailing them ahead of time.  I believe they have a FB page as well.

They have one of the longest ones in the world in PR.

I did it once in Costa Rica and hated it. Not afraid of heights but I found it uncomfortable. I know a lot of people who like it though.

OMG thank you! I have also heard and subsequently read about Toro Verde- will need to look them up

The drive there might also be a bit bumpy. It's in the middle of the island, quite spectacularly beautiful too, btw.
