They have the fastest zip lining in Monteverde and the longest combined course. My only ding would be that they do not take credit cards, so bring extra cash if you want to buy lunch, rent a gopro camera or pay for the photo they take of you on the zip line. I was unable to. The guides here were... More

We really enjoyed this trek. We did the trek then the tram/ziplining. The trek was awesome and we saw a ton of wildlife, which was awesome. The guide was very nice and knowledgable. The ziplining was blast, but going down one double was a bit scary and my fiancee scuffed her knee coming to a stop on the line.

We were in CR in May and very much wanted to see the cloud forest. We were informed that Sky Trek Adventures was the place we wanted to go. They offer a guided tour near the ground and along hanging bridges, a tram ride up through the clouds and the canopy, as well as a zip-lining experience. We opted out... More

Went there as a backpacker in July 2005. Was already fabulous just with the canopy tour and the zip line. Very fun!! Huge forest with lots of flowres, plants to see. Canopy tour is good for kids too.

When people talk about the thrill of zip lining in Costa Rica's rainforest--they surely mean SkyTrek. Even though it was raining for us, the zip lines were the longest, highest, and fastest I've ever done. I can only imagine the rush on a clear day. Just exhilarating! PS--the cappuccino I had afterwards was pricey, but possibly the bet I've ever... More

The whole reason for our trip to Costa Rica was to do zip lining through the rain forest. We were able to do it thanks to Sky Adventures! My brother and I felt very safe and in professional hands the entire time we were on the lines. It was a lot of fun to be above the cloud forest and... More

I did the Sky Walk aka Hanging Bridges in Monteverde. There is only a total of 5 bridges but it a bit of a hike to get from one bridge to the next. The views are spectacular on the bridge and you can see the cloudy forest. Also, the bridges are a bit wobbly due to many people walking on... More

So fun! Not what I was expecting, it was faster and higher but I felt completely safe. The guides were friendly and fun but still very professional. Very neat experience. It was a must do for me, and I would love to do it again.

This zipline was incredible. It was surreal that we went straight into the clouds. The guides were wonderful and helpful. My daughter was nervous about going and they made her feel comfortable. They even helped me identify the birds that were singing. The only thing I would mention, is to bring a rain proof warm jacket. It was much cooler... More

We did not zipline so the tour up the tram is purely for the view, and while the view was good I found that it's not really worth the money. The zip lining looked like it would be awesome so that would definitely change my mind. The hanging bridges were amazing for the wildlife so definitely sign up for that!
