Guide was friendly,...
Guide was friendly, initially we wanted to move to the day after because of the rain and he accommodated us. However, rain stopped and we went with the tour. Our family of 5 was able to get private tour. Not able to see many but got some birds, insects and frogs. Good experience.

Wow!
We had a wonderful experience! Booking was easy, and the shuttles were regular. Tips: get to Centro Visitante a bit early because you need to pay an additional Natl Park entrance fee. We booked with Dennis Fernandez— he was a wonderful guide. He knew so much about the forest, and had a winning personality. Also, a very talented photographer. We enjoyed chatting with him over coffee after the tour. Thank you, Dennis!

Best bird guide in Monteverde
We had Kevin as our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing. I had a list of the top birds I wanted to see and he made sure that we saw every single one!! The top bird on my list was the resplendent Quetzal, which he found for us in the first 10 minutes. I booked with Kevin because I saw others reviews with statements like “Kevin is one with the birds” and “bird whisperer” which were all 100% the truth. We could not have asked for a better guide!

Worth a 7-hour drive!!!
My husband and I visited Costa Rica for our honeymoon and were staying in La Tigra. We didn't realize that this tour was 3.5 hours one way from where we were staying. But, it was worth the drive! Our tour guide Rossi was amazing! She was so passionate, kind, easy to talk to! We were able to see white-faced monkeys, a sloth, so many different fauna and my husband particularly loved the hummingbirds at the end. This is totally worth and we highly recommend Rossi!

Tour was great! Roy was...
Tour was great! Roy was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of the forest and wildlife was very impressive. Thanks to Roy, we were able to see a wide variety of wildlife. What stood out was seeing an Emerald Toucanet! He was enthusiastic and always happy to answer questions. The could forest itself is stunning, but having Roy as our guide made it much better.

Awesome adventure
Selvatura did an awesome job with our zip line adventure! All the staff are kind and reassuring. Byron and his crew made it fun and we always felt safe. If you come during the rainy season be sure to bring a light rain jacket and closed toe shoes. You are able to bring a small backpack with no problem. After zip lining we did the hanging bridge hike. It was cool to hike in the clouds and tops. We even saw a band of coatis! Would definitely book again!!!

Great experience!!...
Great experience!! Parking and shuttle at the park was easy, remember to buy tickets to the park ahead of time because it is not included in the tour. We did the heart of the forest loop, tour ended up just being my partner and me, and it was beautiful! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the forest, plants, and animals!

So much fun and a great learning experience, too!
We loved this tour and our tour guide Rolo was both super knowledgeable and also funny! We learned so much about the making of chocolate, coffee, and sugar cane and even got to participate in making some lemonade with fresh sugar cane. Outstanding tour and well worth it!

Less commercial, personal gem
When you arrive at the coffee plantation shop, you wouldn’t be at fault for thinking you were being shown around someone’s backyard but what you soon realise is that the coffee plantation is in the jungle. He and his wife are huge wildlife enthusiasts - we saw so much, a sleeping toucan, armadillos, snakes, owls and much more. After doing a couple of more commercials animal tours, this was a breathe of fresh air and a glimpse into something special

Amazing views and guides! So fun!
This experience was so fun and well managed! Though sometimes I was scared, I felt safe the whole time. The Tarzan Swing was the scariest thing I've ever done, but the guides were so kind and patient, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The views were breathtaking. I'd recommend wearing shorts/pants long enough to protect from the harness, and a t shirt or jacket to protect from the lines and chilly weather (we ended up having to buy sweatshirts from the gift shop). Closed toe shoes are a must! We had a great time and it's a must do when in Costa Rica!

LOVED everything about...
LOVED everything about this experience! Very fun, stunning views on the forest, and some of the ziplines were literally through a cloud. I'm not an adrenaline junkie and the superman and the tarzan swing looked really scary to do, but they were actually really fun! Definitely wear long trousers, as for the top it can get chilly while you wait but there also some steep paths to walk which can make you sweat a lot. The crew was always very attentive.
