          Bird, spider and snake spotting then some exhilarating zip wires with fabulous views to finish the morning.
          Staring with a gentle walk across bridges in the cloud forest. Finding assorted birds, an orange kneed tarantula and a green pit viper. We then put on a helmet and a bit more kit and found ourselves flying over the forest on zip wires. Truth be told, we were a bit nervous about the latter but very well looked after by Didier, Bryan and the others. They were friendly professional and safe. Once off one wire we were straight into the next with minimal waiting. Great thing to do. Amazing views. Definitely recommend to all. A great morning. Thanks so much guys!

          Incredible experience not to be missed
          This experience was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Monteverde. The hanging bridges tour was very interesting and our guide Joshua made it fun and helped us get some great photos. The zipwiring was incredible to be flying above the cloud forest. Beautiful views, fun experience and very well organized with professional guides and instructors. Thank you

          Well run facility and friendly staff
          Well run facility with safety gear in place. Friendly staff. Be prepared for a very wet day since it is a cloud forest. There was lots of wind and rain and sometimes the rain would hit my face pretty hard while zip lining. Have very warm and waterproof clothing. Bring a change of clothes for getting dry afterwards. The cloud forest is gorgeous. All of that rain makes for a lush forest. The bridge walk we also did was easier to see the flora and fauna (slower walking the bridges than the zip lines so easier to see details). Had fun overall but took a while to thaw :)

          A wonderful excursion, especially if you have one day in SJ
          Hector was awesome: knowledgeable, patient, and a great leader. He doesn’t d a great job talking about significant locations in San Jose. There also was a fun musical accompaniment to our tour. He was very talented . We had a fantastic time, including lunch.

          Great guide, great bridges but meh tram
          The hangling bridges were great. First with Alex as our guide. He was inspiring, knowledgeable and warm and showed us animals and plants we would otherwise not have noticed. We also went on the additional bridges on our own, which was also great. We had rain but stayed dry with ponchos and had pretty good visibility. After the walk, there was a tram. This was pointless. Either do just the bridges or add tram and zipline.

          Do it, you won’t regret it
          Almost didn’t go due to fear of the intense rapids - but oh boy I’m so glad I made myself go. You drive for a couple hours, end up at a cafe in someone’s house in the middle of nowhere - clearly a friend of the tour guides, where they make you a home cooked meal with the best coffee you’ve ever had in your life. You then continue onto the rapids, where they prepare you and then off you go ~20 miles down the river, only stopping halfway for a meal prepared by an indigenous tribe out of a handmade hut. Absolutely incredible. May be the highlight of my life.

          Most amazing zip line
          The zip lining was amazing. Such a thrill and definitely the best place we have done this. Fantastic to be flying above the trees. We also did the canopy tour. Looking back I would have skipped this. We didn’t see v much and had already done hanging bridges in Arenal

          The best cooking experience- highly recommend!
          We had the best cooking experience with Destination Services It was like cooking in a family home together with family. Cindy and Dina were the best chefs who guided us through the whole process. They were warm, welcoming and funny! Vanessa not only translated for us but also cooked with us! Vadi was an expert driver! We highly recommend this experience! This is on a family farm!

          This is a fantastic adventure and not scary but warning to all - don’t go in the rain. It’s like needles hitting your face and ruins the fun! But the team were fun and helpful and what’s made you feel safe

          Unforgettable Rainforest Adventure with Wild Nature!
          The Wild Nature Experience was absolutely phenomenal! Exploring the rainforest and witnessing incredible wildlife up close, including sloths, crocodiles, toucans, and hummingbirds, was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The tour guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the environment, which made the experience even more special. Everything was well-organized, and the tour exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for an unforgettable journey into Costa Rica’s natural beauty, I highly recommend the Wild Nature Experience!

          Must see tour if you're in San Jose.
          The coffee tour was pretty cool. I went with a bunch of people from around here, and the guides were nice enough to do the tour in both English and Spanish. The only downside was that it started an hour later than what TripAdvisor said, and they didn't provide transportation like they said they would. But besides that, the tour itself was really fun.

          Night walk - good frogs, wrong time posted
          The guide was great and helped us discover many frogs and other things like spiders and centipedes. We were upset with the fact that we booked a 530pm tour and when we arrived we were told our tour wasn’t until 6:15. Even though our reservation said 530. We had to sit and wait over 45 minutes to start.

        First thing first!!! Booking with costco is a must. We got our own private shuttle from and to the airport and waited no more than 5 minutes. We met an associate from ¨Destination Services¨who provided us information regarding excursion and never pushed the issues to purchase one.

        Once we arrived at Planet Hollywood, I contacted Julio who is the respresentative for Destintation Services in order to book an excursion.

        Julio, again with no obligation, no pressure provided us several excursions and ended up booking three of them, at Costco discount price and hassle free.

        Julio also arragned our shuttle back to the airport once we were ready to leave. Everyone was punctaul, informative, down-to-earth people and genuine.

        I definitely recommend booking through Costco, and if you book at Planet Hollywood in Costa Rica, you look for Julio.

        Excellent time on this excursion. It may seem a little confusing on what's included/etc, so here it goes:

        This included our transportation from the resort to/from the adventure park, and the activities (zip line, horseback riding, lunch, waterslide, and mudbath / hotsprings). You don't need to buy an extra ticket or any additional fees, outside of souvenirs and tips.

        This isn't a go at your own pace. You go with the group to each activity, and do everything together. You also can't do things more than once sine it's a group outing.

        Our tour guide was Harry, and he was awesome.

        If you're looking for an excursion to this location and not sure what to buy, this is the one.

        Schedule my tour at 11am for the next morning, however I decided to cancel the tour because I was having an allergic reaction to bug bites and I did not want to be trucking around a rainforest getting eaten up by more bugs. So, I sent a cancellation request at 5:33pm, however because I did not cancel within 24 hrs of the trip, they would not refund money....$315.
        Now I understand the 24 hr rule, however for this to truly apply, they should not allow customers to book within a 24 period because that will give u time to cancel. This is just ridiculous!!! Don't do it, buyer be ware!

        WOW!!! What an amazing day of activity, education and fun! On the brochure, they said that it was a "moderate" level of activity/fitness. I would disagree with this because you have to hike up the mountain twice, once to zip line and once to go tubing. (Some of the older people really had trouble)

        My family and I had an AMAZING time. This was a FANTASTIC deal and we got to do SO much. The water slide was not your average slide down a mountain. It was LEGIT thrill. I loved the scenery, and we were blessed to have great weather. But the best part of the whole trip was our tour guide (Harry Briones) and driver (Joselito). Harry does not receive enough credit for making this trip comfortable, fun, and thrilling. He is extremely knowledgeable and very kind. 100% would recommend this excursion. The zip-lining was the best one I've ever experienced (and I've done it a couple times in my life).
