This is a 2 mile hike on a paved path with some elevation. Our guide, Zender, was great! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about his job. We saw toucans, frogs, snakes, hummingbirds, a squirrel and a blue monarch butterfly- some of these we would not have seen without Zender’s binoculars and sharp eyes. So if you are thinking of going into the forest without a guide, keep this in mind that you will probably miss a lot. The bridges allow for breathtaking views of the rainforest canopy and volcano. We got some great pictures! After the tour, we were welcomed back to the van with refreshments, which was a very nice surprise.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Jaimi! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Hanging Bridges experience and that Zender helped make your visit so memorable. We're especially happy that you were able to spot such a great variety of wildlife. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica for another adventure in the future! Pura Vida!
We left the hotel at 7 with our tour guide Zender - very nice guy and headed to Hanging Bridges Nature Preserve. Were we proceeded to spend 4 hours seeing the most amazing plants, animals, birds and reptiles anywhere in the world. We did a private tour which normally takes folks ~ 2 hours by the brochure; it took us 4, so worth it though. The forest itself was magnificent, but because of the storms last night the creatures were also super active. We saw poisonous dart frogs a snake 3 different types of monkeys a ant eater or relative thereof A squirrel type thing that wasn't a squirrel a tarantula 2 types of Toucans Beautiful flora Trees galore with entire ecosystems growing on them Word and images can't describe. Seriously the best excursion experience of any trip experience I have ever had. I highly recommend but if you do it get a guide - you won't see the stuff otherwise. Zender was amazing, You could tell he was actually enjoying being there; he loves nature and sharing it with others.
Thank you so much Lisa for your wonderful review! We are truly grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear that your experience with Zender was so memorable. Sharing the beauty of Costa Rica's wildlife and rainforest with our guests is our passion, and it means the world to know it was one of your best travel experiences. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Pura Vida!
We had such a great time our tour guide picked us up, was so fun and informative, and we saw tons of animals. Zander was so great. And also a celebrity, he knew EVERYONE at the hanging bridges
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time and that you were able to see so much wildlife- Zender will be especially happy to read your kind words! He truly has a passion for what he does. Pura Vida
Outstanding Hanging Bridges Tour! Our guide, Yeudy (pronounced Jay-oh-dee), was exceptional and truly made the experience unforgettable. He has an incredible eye for wildlife—we saw a howler monkey, several viper snakes, hummingbirds, and even a turkey, all thanks to his sharp spotting skills. Yeudy also used a telescope and helped us take close-up photos and videos with our own phones, which was such a unique and amazing touch. Knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, Yeudy went above and beyond. Highly recommend this tour—and absolutely request Yeudy if you can!
Was worth the hard walk. Saw many birds, toucan, monkeys, and snakes. First time doing a hanging bridge! Beautiful foliage
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear the hike was worth it and that you got to enjoy so much wildlife — especially the toucans and monkeys! The hanging bridges are truly a special experience. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure soon!
Had a very enjoyable experience! Mauricio was a great guide! He was determined to help us see what we were loooking for and we did! Very clean transportation, drinks, snacks and even a cold towel at the end of our hike. It was prefect!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear you had such an enjoyable experience. Mauricio will be happy to know his efforts made a difference—he truly goes above and beyond! Hope to see you again on another adventure soon! Pura Vida
We used Traluxu for a personal trip in 1/2024 and I've also used them to book my clients as I'm a travel agent. Sirleny Zuniga is my contact with Traluxu. She is responsive, well organized, and she takes great care of my clients while they are in Costa Rica. We personally used Traluxu for transfer services between Liberia and the La Fortuna area; drivers were timely, friendly, and they were safe drivers. We also took the Hanging Bridges tour. Carlos Bonilla was our guide; he was informative, engaging, and used his spotting scope to show us animals that we wouldn't have otherwise seen. I've had clients use Traluxu for transfers and tours. Reservations and communication were seamless. They were even able to find a last minute transfer for one of my clients due to a change in his travel schedule. I will continue to recommend Sirleny Zuniga and Traluxu Travel for my clients when they travel to the La Fortuna area.
This excursion was one of our favorite parts of our trip. Our tour guide Zender made this an amazing experience for us. He was prompt at pick up and was so personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour and Zender!
Carlos was a great guide! He has an eagle eye for spotting interesting creatures and with the help of his scope we had amazing views and photos. He is very knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife, we learned so much and had a great time!
We had a wonderful day with Xander at the hanging bridges and volcano. He is very friendly and knowledgeable, and as a private tour we were able to take things at our own pace and stop for as long as we wanted to take in the sights and sounds. At the end of the day, it felt like he was a family member. He was answering the never ending questions of my son with a lot of patience and true kindness. Would highly recommend him if you are visiting La Fortuna.
