Tour Options
Itinerary
Meet your guide at your hotel prior to your selected morning or afternoon departure time and head to a private reserve and adventure park, located just minutes from downtown Monteverde. Your tour begins in the primary, old-growth section of the cloud forest and moves to the newer secondary forest, offering a broad perspective of life cycles in the forest. Start your trip with a zipline tour over the canopy, providing a heart-pounding view of the cloud forest below. Then, rappel 150 feet down to the forest floor. A ladder system through the hollow core of an old tree brings you back up into the treetops, and an optional Tarzan swing free-fall experience brings you back down. Guides accompany you through every step of the adventure to ensure your safety and entertainment, as well as to answer questions about the local ecosystem. Get dropped off back at your hotel or other specified drop-off location in Monteverde at the end of your adventure.

It was such a nice experience. Daniel and Fray were our guides and they were THE BEST. I am a little on the heavier side, 200+ lbs and they took really good care of me and were patient. Especially for those who have never done something like this, it builds up to longer ziplines, giving you a chance to get seasoned. One of the best experiences while in Costa Rica. The views...incredible. I definitely recommend.
We had a great canopy tour, which exceeded our expectations. Our guides where Brian and Joseph who were both great and interacted with our kids (11/13yrs) very well. We weren't sure how many zip lines we were doing and it was definitely more than expected, 10 in total and some amazing long ones across a valley at the end. The tarzan swing and rapel were also great fun and we felt safe every step of the way. My boys said it was their best activity so far and we have been in Costa Rica two weeks now.
Such a fun experience. Josef and Fray were super fun guides. But the whole company was great. We saw a snake in the road on the way out and they stopped and let us watch it for a while. Definitely worth doing!
We had an amazing time! We had a group of 7 ranging from 19 - 53 years old and we all had the best experience. Our guides Joseph and Gerard were awesome, they were very funny and made the trip a blast.
Pro : Stunning views Minus : safety instructions in english barely understandable. Minus : Instructor very friendly to young women less friendly to us, a family. Minus : Photos for sale at the end of the experience obviously at a high but negotiable price. Feels scammy.
A wonderful experience with a Tarzan swing, zip line, rappelling, and climbing inside a ficus tree. The more timid can avoid the most impressive parts of the course. Safety is top-notch. Thanks to our three very professional and very friendly guides!
My best friend and I booked for the 11am tour and upon arrival were instantly greeted and given a ride up the reception area. From there we got to not only zip line but tarzan swing, climb a hollow tree and rappel down a line. All with the help of our two awesome tour guides Joseph (or feya) and his coworker. We were first concerned about how cheap it was but that’s actually the best part because you get the safety and great experience you would anywhere else for the best price!
The activity is very beautiful and exciting, the instructors Anderson, Josep and Bryan, were kind, they explained the challenges to us, and we always felt safe, they are very professional, the experience was great, 6 ziplines, rappelling, climbing, Tarzan.. Pura vida
We had a great time! The views were great and it challenged us.
Our whole family LOVED our experience with The Original Canopy Tour. Our guides, David, Gerald and Joseph were kind, funny, professional and we felt very safe the whole time. We loved the Tarzan swing, climbing up the strangler fig with ladder, rappelling and zipping through the jungle! Compared to other companies, Treetopia and Extremo, we felt The Original Canopy Tour provided an experience where you felt closer to nature! Their platforms were attached to trees, so you felt like a part of nature. Morphos, howler monkeys and tucancillos joined us in the canopy! Thank you, Original Canopy Tour, for life long memories!!
