Itinerary
- 1The Guatuzos aborigines discovered the caves. Limestone rocks, stalactites, stalagmites and corals, form most of the caves. The whimsical stone formations are formed by the underground river. The length of the tour into the caves is 1 ½ hour, during this time we will find marine fossils, and also bats, spiders and crickets. Because we will have to walk through the river and waterfalls from the upper part of the cave, we recommend our customers to take light clothes, hiking shoes and extra clothes to be able to change when they finish the exploration of the caves. The equipment for the tour will be provided to each client.

- 694gu0 contributionsGreat tourFantastic tour! Bilingual tour guide who was very good. The meals were delicious! Doka coffee farm was nice, and the volcano was cool, but my favorite was La Paz Waterfalls. Incredible! Highly recommend.Written January 20, 2025
- LizCardiff10 contributionsVolcanic crater and church 1/2 dayVery good tour guide, interesting but unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the craters. Church was very pretty and interestingWritten January 17, 2025
- Susan H0 contributionsNot enjoyableWe only did the tram which is a 10 minute trip up the side of a mountain. I have to say I was terrified the whole time because the wind was so strong. The ride was not at all enjoyable. We could see some of the gulf for the first minute, but then the rest of it was cloud cover. At the top it was very cold and windy and you could see absolutely nothing. Also, they made us get there early and then after we had to wait 50 minutes for the ride back to the hotel.Written January 17, 2025
- DanFarr0 contributionsBird, 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!Written January 14, 2025
- DoraexploraUK0 contributionsIncredible experience not to be missedThis 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 youWritten January 6, 2025
- Mario T0 contributionsI recommend this tour companyExcellent experience. On time scheduling and good choice of restaurants. Safe driving as well. Antonio and Donald were very professional and cordialWritten January 5, 2025
- Suzanne S0 contributionsWell run facility and friendly staffWell 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 :)Written January 3, 2025
- Alyson B0 contributionsA wonderful excursion, especially if you have one day in SJHector 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.Written January 2, 2025
- bjornhardemark0 contributionsGreat guide, great bridges but meh tramThe 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.Written January 1, 2025
- D5180QGnataliew0 contributionsDo it, you won’t regret itAlmost 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.Written December 26, 2024
- Nickymerse0 contributionsMost amazing zip lineThe 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 ArenalWritten December 24, 2024
- anoopn7230 contributionsThe 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!Written December 24, 2024
- Jonny B0 contributionsGreat adrenaline filled funThis 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 safeWritten December 22, 2024
- Explore7647920 contributionsUnforgettable 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!Written December 21, 2024
- phatdavid640 contributionsDestintation Services, representative JulioFirst 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.Written December 8, 2024

Hi, I want to do the tour, but I'm travelling alone. I will be with a car, so is there a place I can drive to and get into a group of people to do the tour with? I wanted to do the tour on Jun 15 or 16. Is the tour available on Sundays? Thank you.
