Our guide Fouland (not sure about spelling) was fantastic! Very informative and experienced. It was a small group. The path is well maintained with some steep sections but long. Bridges were fun with great views! Definitely worth a visit and ask for Foiland

We lived our tour!! Saw lots of cool animals we got to see! It was beautiful and a lot of fun even in the rain!
Robert F is a great guide. Highly recommend him as a guide. He found lots of animals that he found throughout the tour
What a wonderful experience! We were lucky to see two kinds of monkeys one being a whole family with a baby ! Go early ! Bring a rain jacket ! The views are amazing! We had a tour guide she made stops along the way to spot animals and different types of snakes. Also got to see a pair of owls, toucans and a sloth ! Very lucky! Very cool crossing the bridges
Jaco was an excellent tour guide ! He was so friendly and passionate about the park ! He showed us a lot of things we would have never have seen . He used our phones to take pics and also shared with us the beautiful photos he took on his phone !! I highly recommend this tour !
We experienced a flat tire in another country in the way to the tour. We called immediately as we were trying to figure out what to do on the side of the road in the rain because we didn't want to guide to be waiting for us. We were told she would send something to reschedule and she would put in for a refund due to unusual circumstances. We got the email regarding the refund asking for anything else we might have. We sent a picture of the car with the flat tire and the info from the repair place. We were denied the refund the next day and said we were offered at the time of the flat to reschedule to 2 different times that same day. We were not ever offered any specific times, only that we would be emailed about rescheduling while checking on the refund. I explained this and asked if we could at least reschedule then for Friday. At this point all communication was dropped. So no refund. No reschedule. Out the money and had to pay to get in the park separately as self guided now. Just go for the self guided and save yourself the cash.
My family and I had a great time! Norbin, our guide, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and spotted wildlife we wouldn’t have seen if it wasn’t for him. I highly recommend this guided tour.

Indie was a fantastic guide. She took the time to pause and show us as much wildlife and vegetation as possible. She was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the experience. It rained hard the whole time. We were drenched even with top rated water proof boots and jackets. I recommend long pants that go over the top of your boots. The guide wear rubber goloshes and plastic ponchos over your rain jackets. This weather is seriously wet. Bring extra shoes for La Fortuna to alternate wet shoes, rubber goloshes would be best.

Quintessential Costa Rica experience. Our guide, Donald, loves what he does, that is clear. It was POURING for the first 1.5 hours of the experience, we were soaked to the bone despite rain jackets and umbrellas (as they say, “don’t come to the rainforest if you don’t wanna get wet!”). But then the rain started clearing up and it’s like all the animals put on a show for us. We saw a fur-de-lance snake, a jumping viper, an eyelash viper, several species of cool frogs, capuchin monkeys, 1 howler monkey, large butterflies and more. You cannot do this experience without a guide. Highly recommend.

We had so much fun doing the hanging bridges walking tour! Our tour guide, Jorge, was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. He pointed out a ton of cool animals that we wouldn’t have seen without him and his tools. We went during a very rainy day, but that definitely didn’t take away from the atmosphere and we enjoyed walking along the path even with the rain. The path was incredibly well maintained. I would recommend this tour to just about anyone!

Our tour guide , Gabby, was absolutely fantastic. We were so glad we did a tour instead of walking ourselves. We would have missed almost everything that we saw and she gave us so many interesting facts and got us great close up pics. We saw an eyelash viper, tarantula, monkeys, glass frogs and many other things. I typically am not a fan of a guided tour but this was well wiirth it! Thanks Gabby!!- Sasha and Mike

This was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! Highly recommend the guided tour. Nasa, our guide was able to point out so many animals that we would have completely missed on our own. She was also able to tell us a lot of the history of the area. The views are beautiful all along the hike and at each of the bridges! Absolutely worth it! Bring an umbrella when you go!

It’s a terrific place. We learned a lot about the rain forest, Costa Rica and about all of the wildlife. It was a great experience, but if you are afraid of heights you might have an issue crossing all of the hanging bridges. Go early. We had a 7 am tour and got to see so much wildlife.

So much fun- worth it. Our tour guide Roberto F. was so knowledgeable. The rain even made it so much better as it was a literal rainforest - don’t let the rain deter you. The rain stopped halfway through tour so made it perfect blend!
