It allows a vision of the forest from a different perspective which starts with a walk on the ground taking you up to explore the treetops, a hardly discovered habitat, called the “canopy” with a naturalist guide. Also discover the night wildlife at our Sky Walk Night Tour. « less

We had so much fun doing this canopy tour. so many platforms and the tarzan swing was incredible. At one point it started to rain, which only added to the experience. So fun! Pura Vida indeed!

We had reservations for 10:30am but showed up about 1 hour earlier becaue we knew that roads are very slow going. They put us right into the next zip line group that was taking place in 15 minutes. This place is very safe. they provide you with a very good harness, double strap system, braking t-handle, helmet and gloves. they... More

This one was excellent but even if you can't make it to this one, go to one of them. The opportunity to walk at the canopy level is not to be missed - seeing howler monkeys at eye level was amazing.

This was the least successful of the four visits to reserves in Costa Rica.. lots of tourists. It was more like a holiday park. Guide was not good.. Didn't ensure that the group was together and could hear. Saw very few birds. Not really surprised as it was so noisy. Reptiles were in glass tanks. I don't think people come... More

This is a neat thing to do while in Monteverde. Even though it was raining during our hike and we saw no animals at all, being in the dense cloud forest and walking along the suspension bridges was exciting. It was a beautiful and unique experience.

They treated my children and my family very well. I was incredibly nervous and after about 4 platforms I finally felt better. I was happy to have 5 more lines to do or I would have been nervous and not relaxed at the end. I did not see any other company and have never zip lined before, however, I would... More

Be sure to bundle up for a dip in temperature and high winds. Spectacular views with wonderful opportunity to see monkey families and the spectacular Quetzal bird. Don't miss out

Just as good as Monteverde, and we enjoyed the knowledge of the guides. We went on the walk and the cable car, but we would have liked to go on the zipwire. However we came back from our walk just after the last group had left. Could have been better coordinated? The hanging bridges are good, but the best one... More

A lot of money for a similar experience as Monteverde the day before. Suggest you do one or the other

All it is, is walking in the woods for an hour, crossing some bridges. At the end of the trail there are 2 small museums. They don`t let you know before hand that you need to go back to reception and buy tickets to get into these museums (if they`re even worth visiting) and the 25$ entry fee is way... More
