What are people saying about Monteverde

Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Tour (Regular)

Laura_J, Jun 2026

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!

Monteverde Cloud Forest Guided Nature Walk with Expert Naturalist

Kam_W, May 2026

Terrific and Knowledgeable Guide & Nice Guy Too!

Roy is a wonderful guide. His passion for nature and sharing his love of nature really shines through. He is very informative and takes his time to find and show us amazing birds. It made our walk through the Heat of the Forest so much more delightful. Highly recommend Roy as your next nature guide.

The Quetzal Tour In Monteverde

Jin_S, May 2026

Superb experience with Diego

It was such a great experience and we successfully saw the female&male quetzal twice in the morning - they were switching and staying for a few minutes outside. Diego is very professional and friendly, he also pointed other birds and plants to us. Strongly recommended.

El Tigre Waterfalls Hiking Tour with Lunch and Nature Guide

Book this activity!

Book this activity!!! Worth EVERY PENNY! Hope you get Victorian as a guide he was so knowledgeable and does so much for the conservation of Costa Rica. Such a beautiful hike with many waterfalls to see. The lunch at the end was delicious with spectacular panoramic views!

Monteverde Birdwatching Experience

Emily_K, Apr 2026

Wonderful birding day!

Jason was a wonderful guide! He was my first birding guide in Costa Rica but I went on to have several more in other parts of the country and Jason was the best by far. His knowledge of birds and their calls/songs was very impressive. I saw 50 species of birds on this tour I booked through Viator (I ended up being solo) and then I booked two additional outings with Jason - birding to Santa Elena cloud forest and a wildlife night walk, both of which were excellent. Jason knew I wanted to see a Quetzal and when we hadn’t found one by the end of our second birding outing, he went out of his way to take me to one more spot where he thought he might find one, and HE DID! Lovely experience, I’ve already recommended him to a friend who wants to go birding in Costa Rica. Definitely would reach out to Jason again if I was in the area.

Birdwatching Tour in Curicancha Cloud Forest

mariamcdade, Apr 2026

Excellent experience, recommended

Excellent experience, we went with positive thoughts but low expectations in terms of the wildlife (it is wild, rarely performs on cue) , but our guide, Olger, was amazing - we saw a mottled owl, capuchin and spider monkeys, a bell bird, a toucan, a hummingbird, a viper , and briefly , a quetzal!

Monteverde Night Tour Unique Experience

Adam_E, Apr 2026

This night tour was our...

This night tour was our favorite part of our trip to Costa Rica. We had an excellent, funny, patient, and knowledgeable tour guide Dani. He took us through the reserve at night and could spot incredible animals with ease. It was even more fun because we were all involved "hunting" for the animals at night with our flashlights (which he provided). We saw everything I could have hoped for and it was an absolute blast. I could not recommend this more.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Night Wildlife Experience

Clayton_H, Mar 2026

Don’t sleep on this! Pun intended. But seriously, great refuge and service providers!

We were lucky enough to have Luis as our guide. He was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and was considerate of the forest. We were able to see more wildlife than I expected to see. Pit vipers, armadillos, several species of frogs and even a few beautiful birds nesting. My daughter was stung by a bee, which is no reflection of the property or the tour in any way. It’s a known risk of being in the jungle at night. A minor bee sting and wasn’t a concern. I bring this up, because our guide was equipped with a fist aid kit and showed compassion and had kind words to make sure we all knew it’s a standard bee sting and how to treat it for comfort. Well done Luis! If we are back in the area, I will certainly take another tour with Luis!

Guided Wildlife Tour in Monteverde Cloud Forest

Kathryn_B, Mar 2026

“Rock Star” tour guide and beautiful scenery.

The Cloud Forest is an amazing place to visit. It has a huge variety of plants, birds, and other wildlife - we even saw a female Capuchin monkey! Kevin was our tour guide. He has a vast knowledge of birds and plants. Kevin went above and beyond his duties to help us purchase the Cloud Forest admission which must be purchased separately from the tour. I highly recommend this activity. Early morning is the best time.

Hands-On Costa Rican Bread Making Workshop in Monteverde

Jennifer_A, Mar 2026

Amazing food made by a wonderful and funny family

We love doing local food tours but had never done a cooking class before today. My husband loves baking/cooking and we thought it was be amazing to not only eat local, but learn how to make it ourselves as well. Yolanda and Orlando were our teachers and they were fantastic throughout. We ended up with a private class which was also pretty cool. The empanadas were incredibly delicious, especially with sugar cane water and The bread was a perfect way to wrap it up. We even had extra that will make great snacks/breakfast tomorrow. The farm itself is beautiful, with stunning views. I can’t wait to get home and try to make these ourselves now. Thank you so much for this unique experience and for opening your homes to us!!

Extreme Zipline tour in Monteverde

Eleonora_E, Jan 2026

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.

Rainforest Canopy Zipline & Hanging Bridges Tour From Monteverde

Rebecca_N, Jul 2025

The zipline was a great...

The zipline was a great experience with fantastic views, excellent safety, and friendly guides. The bridge walks revealed more wildlife than we'd seen when hiking in the Cloud Forest Preserve. While the butterfly enclosure was not in the best condition, the butterfly guided tour was very informative. Overall we were very pleased and had a great day!
