Itinerary
Province of Puntarenas
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.

A wonderful view of the tropical rainforest and personal challenge for me.
Booking online and paying was super easy. Instructions about meeting spot was very clear and driver of mini bus was there to greet us when we arrived. Our 2 guides, Elian and his George ( may have this name wrong), were super caring, encouraging and very good with 3 kids ( ages 9, 7 and 5) who were in the group. They ensured the 5-year old was well looked after. I faced the scariest experience of climbing that ladder but at no time did I feel I was in danger. Loved the experience !!

Wonderful
We loved it!!! We are a family with a 15-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son. Very, very exciting, but with a constant feeling of safety. There are ziplines where you fly above the trees, incredible; I am quite fearful of this and I enjoyed it a lot. The forest is beautiful. We really liked that the tour has very varied activities (canopy, rappelling, Tarzan swing, climbing inside a tree). Our guides (Keiver and Josep) were wonderful and very professional!!!

Thriling, exciting, beautiful views
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.

Awesome Canopy Tour
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....
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!
