Zipline and Hanging Bridges Combo Tour in Monteverde Cloud Forest

Posted By : O1171FSelisag
We had an amazing time with our guide Ricardo. We ended up booking a private tour so that we could go on the day we wanted, and I'm so glad we did because Ricardo made it an extremely personal trip for us. His knowledge of the area, fun facts, and flexibility to show us other cool sights made for an unforgettable trip! Highly recommend booking with Ricardo if you have the chance, you will learn so much and laugh along the way :)

The cloud forest hanging bridges were awesome! I love nature, so getting to walk through the forest and admire different wildlife was spectacular. We even saw some black Guam birds and emerald toucans! The zip lining was AMAZING. I’ve read some reviews who are disappointed the Superman isn’t included in the tour. Technically speaking, it is. You still do the zip line tandem, however, if you want to fly like Superman, it’s an extra $13. Well worth the price. I felt like I was truly flying and could have cried it was so amazing Photos of the experience was $20 for the whole catalog of photos they took. I also felt like this was a great value, considering that other places that do pictures like this charge the same price for one or two photos. Our tour guide, Manuel, was so friendly! This tour was definitely the highlight of my trip.

This tour was spectacular! Cesar was our tour guide & Mr. Wilian was our amazing driver! The drive from Tamarindo to Monteverde was an experience in itself! The views were breathtaking & Cesar was very informative about all the towns we drove through. The hanging bridges were unbelievable. It's hard to put into words the visions we saw. Cesar taught us a lot about the plants & birds while we were there. We also got to see a beautiful Quetzal bird...which is very lucky! Ziplining through the forest was an experience we'll never be able to recreate. Seeing all different trees & plant life from above is exhilarating. After our tour, Cesar & Mr. Wilian took us to a beautiful restaurant where we had a delicious Costa Rican meal. Their hospitality was exceptional! Definitely a great life experience & something you should book while you're in Costa Rica! Thank you Cesar & Mr. Wilian!

We had an amazing experience on this excursion! Our guides Kevin & Nicole and our driver Johnny were so great, they gave us a ton of info about the region and the experience, and were all very friendly! It was a fairly long drive but totally worth it with a stop at fantastic authentic Costa Rican restaurant for breakfast, and followed by a two hour hike in the cloud forest with an hour long zip-line adventure. It poured rain while we were hiking, which was not unbearable but definitely bring a set of shoes, pants and a jacket that will do well in the rain. You can buy rain gear there but it is expensive. Zip-lining was so fun and we were well guided by the instructors. The views were unbelievable especially on the 1km zip-line at the end! We also stopped at an awesome Italian restaurant for lunch and it was delicious! We will absolutely be doing this same excursion again when we return to Costa Rica!

Amazing to see the change in topography and flora. The zip lining was great. We had never done it before. We went in April which is still the dry season so it was perfectly clear and dry with great visibility. This was a long day for us because we left from Tamarindo for the Monteverde cloud forest. Had to leave at 5:30 am but was totally worth it. Our tour guide, Kevin, and driver Alex, did a great job. Was a long day for them too!

Well coordinated in terms of pick up and drop off. Our tour guide was excellent. He introduced us to several local birds during our hike. Following the hike we got to enjoy 13 different zip lines. The park takes pictures of you while zip lining that you can purchase for an additional cost. Following our visit, our tour guide facilitated a group lunch at a local restaurant that was enjoyable. This activity was one of the highlights of our visit. Be prepared, the drive up and down the mountain can be a little scary at moments but our driver was highly skilled.

Our guide Manuel and driver Ken were so great; they picked us up right on time and were really invested in making sure we had the best time. As other people mentioned, it's hard to spot animals at Monteverde. This was made worse because we had an unusually hot day that was very sunny. We managed to find two quetzals and a tarantula. Our guide even took photos with his equipment and airdropped them to us, so we have much higher quality images than we could have gotten ourselves. The ziplining was also a blast; at $40 for two people, we got the photo package; they make sure you know you only get pictures from the first two stops, so it was a lot of the same pictures in our package. I thought it was worth it. I didn't get the GoPro this time but would consider it. I also enjoyed swinging from the rope before the final zipline--added bonus is the second quetzal was there, up close! There is a weight limit of about 200 lbs, so do be aware of that if you are considering the zipline. I didn't feel that hiking boots were really necessary; a good pair of sneakers would have been fine. Considering that it's usually colder and rainier, something close toed with a good grip is probably sound advice. There are lockers there, but I didn't need them with this tour; our things were safely secured in our van, which was in a secure parking lot where the driver also remained. Definitely don't bring anything that is not secured on the zipline; I had a lanyard for my phone, and my boyfriend put his in a zippered pocket. Don't bring sunglasses or shoes that could fall off. If you have those, leave them with your guide. They will keep them safe. Lunch was at a nearby restaurant (not the park restaurant); I enjoyed my casado, and I heard the pizza was good, though someone recommended that you do not order the panini. The one thing that could be improved was the communication; the person of chat was very helpful, but we did have a little stress that the tour would be canceled because there was a minimum of 4 people required to operate, and it wasn't clear if we would be refunded had 3 more people not reserved at the last minute. It also wasn't clear to us that we would have been driven from our meeting point to another meeting point--if we knew this, we could have gone directly to the second meeting point, which was much closer to our hotel. The important thing to note, though, is they were excellent about trying to accomodate us; when we drove by our hotel on the way to Moteverde, they agreed to drop us back off there on the way back rather than add a few extra stops--even though it wasn't officially a pick up or drop off point. That saved us a lot of time and money; it was very hard to get transportation from my hotel (the Hampton Inn), and it took quite a bit of time to get to the next closest pick up spot so that's a good tip! Many companies would not have been so flexible, so I really appreciate that. They were polite and prompt, so even though there was a touch of confusion, I don't blame them for this. I'm very happy with the experience and the staff, and I would absolutely recommend them. So the key takeaway: try to ask them ahead of time what the route is. They may be able to help you if your hotel is not an official pick up spot, or they may be able to send you somewhere closer to your hotel.

Had an amazing time! Obviously it was a long car ride (3 and a half hours each way) but the Ziplining and hanging bridges were great. Our guide was Kevin Pina who was very knowledgeable about Costa Rican culture and also the costa Rican ecosystem! Recommend everyone to bring a rain jacket and long pants because it was quite cold and rainy when we got up there despite being very hot at our resort in guanacaste. Definitely recommend this adventure as long as you can stand a long car ride.

Absolutely recommend this tour, it was a blast! 12 ziplines total plus hanging bridges. The lunch was delicious, about 15 minutes away from the tour. Definitely worth the money
