What To Expect
Meet your guide at your hotel prior to your selected morning or afternoon departure time and head to a private reserve and adventure park, located just minutes from downtown Monteverde. Your tour begins in the primary, old-growth section of the cloud forest and moves to the newer secondary forest, offering a broad perspective of life cycles in the forest.
Start your trip with a zipline tour over the canopy, providing a heart-pounding view of the cloud forest below. Then, rappel 150 feet down to the forest floor. A ladder system through the hollow core of an old tree brings you back up into the treetops, and an optional Tarzan swing free-fall experience brings you back down.
Guides accompany you through every step of the adventure to ensure your safety and entertainment, as well as to answer questions about the local ecosystem.
Get dropped off back at your hotel or other specified drop-off location in Monteverde at the end of your adventure.

Shout out to our guides Joseph and David!
Our excursion started out with an added bonus of Cappuccino monkeys hanging out at the starting point!
This excursion was a lot of fun! The Tarzan swing was exciting, and climbing inside the hollow tree was so cool!
The view from the ziplines was amazing!
One of the guides took photos during the adventure, and got some really great shots!
Thanks for the fun day guys!

Flying through the canopy and seeing the large trees. Unfortunately the rain was a little too much for butterflies.

This was just fantastic. Our guides were great, the weather didn’t hold us back at all and we were even brave enough to do the Tarzan swing at the start!
Some great photos taken on the way round by the team so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own phone etc.

The staff was great. They were fun, knowledgeable and took safety seriously. The views were amazing and we saw several Howler monkeys, lots of birds, and a family of Coati greeted us as we were leaving. If you want fun and excitement, this is the place to go.

I’ve done zip lining in multiple countries & this one is the BEST!! They have a variety of elements and one is almost a full minute on the line. You truly are in the tree tops & this isn’t for the faint of heart! Great family adventure!! And we had the best guides!! David & Fray were safety conscious, shared history of the Costa Rican jungle, & created a fun interactive environment!!

This was the most athletic ziplining experience I have ever had! Really exhilarating to start with a jungle swing. All of the guides were amazing. Very safe experience while climbing through the inside of a tree and then climbing up the outside of it. The views were unforgettable! The whole group was very nice and fun to be with. Highly recommend!

Our family enjoyed the overall experience of Ziplining and had fun trying all different ziplines, however tour operator missed picking us up and after 1 hour of back and forth with Viator operator they mentioned that we are not in their pick up zone. It was never informed to us and was not anywhere in app messages. After an hour they messaged us and picked us up. Starting from 1st slide the zipline operator was literally rushing us to complete our ziplines. It was our 1st time doing zipline but he didn't even bother to wait or show some empathy for scared kids. He just wanted to finish his job and wanted to go home. The whole tour was 2-3 hours including pickup and drop off, but seems we did it in less than time as operator was in hurry. He was rude and no sense how to talk. Very disappointed, will not recommended this tour company to anyone.
