Beautiful, peaceful tram ride up into the mountains. Also perfect for those with limited mobility. My sister uses a cane; she easily climbed in and out of the tram. The views are worth the trip.

    No animals or birds. What a scam

    Dale_M, Apr 2026
    Zero animal or bird sightings. I ask when was the last time you even saw a monkey. Response was weeks ago. Animals play hide and seek. What a scam and waste of time and money.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Wildlife sightings in the rainforest can be unpredictable, as animals are in their natural habitat and not always visible during every visit. That said, we completely understand how disappointing it must have been not to see any animals or birds during your tour. Your comments are important to us, and we’d really like the opportunity to address your concerns directly and make this right. Please feel free to contact us at +52 998 537 1836 so we can assist you further.

    Meh

    Carl_E, Feb 2026
    Honestly a little boring. The jungle and views are nice but we didn't see a whole lot. I would say this is one you could skip

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Aerial tram and rainforest tour

    Louise_F, Feb 2026
    The cost seems high for what we experienced. The aerial tram was very slow but shorter in duration than staff quoted. We were advised there was 1/2 hour on observation deck. We didn't need even 10 mins The butterfly garden was a disappointment - limited butterflies or activity. Not sure garden was in good repair.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Hi Louise, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Rainforest Aerial Tram Tour in Jacó. We truly appreciate you letting us know about your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. The aerial tram is intentionally operated at a slower pace to allow guests to observe wildlife and enjoy the rainforest canopy, but we understand how important it is that the duration matches what is communicated. We will review your comments with our team to ensure that timing expectations are clearly and accurately explained. We also regret that the observation deck and butterfly garden did not feel worthwhile during your visit. Wildlife activity can vary depending on weather and time of day, but the condition and upkeep of our facilities are within our control. Your feedback about the butterfly garden’s maintenance and activity levels will be shared directly with site management for review. We always aim to provide an enriching and memorable rainforest experience, and we’re sorry we fell short on this occasion. Thank you again for your honest comments—they help us improve for future guests

    Our guide was over the top amazing

    John_P, Dec 2025
    My daughter and I enjoyed the experience my wife is a bit agrophobic so she stayed on the ground. My guide was very informative and found a sloth in the trees. The pictures that my daughter and I got were unbelievably beautiful. The butterfly enclosure was stunning, a couple of them landed on me and my daughter and my wife. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Ratna_P, Dec 2025
    The ride to the place was on a very rough gravel road. The place looks run down. Cable cars were rusty and old. Later we went to far better olace than this.

    Roxann_A, Dec 2025
    Beautiful views, you can see down to the ocean from the lookout. Didn’t see much wildlife, it was raining, but the views alone is worth it

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views from the lookout — the ocean scenery from the canopy is truly special. We’re sorry the rain limited the amount of wildlife you were able to spot, but we’re glad the views still made the tour worthwhile. Every day in the rainforest is unique, and the weather often plays a big role in what animals come out to explore. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back again for another adventure — hopefully with clearer skies and more wildlife sightings! 🌿🇨🇷✨
