Super Cool and Unique Experience - The Original Canopy Tour was a super cool experience, as a family two of us had never been ziplining before and our first time did not disappoint! Our tour guides -- Rudy, Sergio, and Joseph -- were clearly trained professionals, took great care of the whole group and were just extremely friendly and nice people. We loved getting to see the incredible ecosystem of Monteverde from a different perspective, with a bit of adrenaline mixed in! Thanks again to our amazing guides; if you get the chance, ask Rudy about his extensive collection of wildlife photos!

Recommend this activity - The guides, Rudy, Joseph, and Sergio were professional, fun and kept things moving. Rudy and Joseph (I believe) remembered our names and made this very enjoyable. We bought our tickets in advance so we could get the time and date we wanted. I recommend going in the morning, especially during the wet season when there is a higher chance of rain in the afternoon. I don’t like heights, but did everything they offered!

Great experience! - Great experience! Rudy, Fray, and Brian did a great job and made the tour fun, safe and memorable. They went above and beyond and also pointed out unique birds that we took pics of. The hotel pickup by Greivin was very easy and convenient as well. I'd recommend!

Tarzan basics through the canopy - It is the ORIGINAL for a reason! It does indeed provide you with lots of fun, a beginning-of-the-world-like experience, zip lines of different lengths and overseeing heavenly scenery, all in the company of funny, relaxed and very week prepared and safety-oriented guides. My heart goes out to everyone making this tour such a magnificent experience, and also making sure I get the best pictures along the way. It did not feel rushed, it did not feel touristy and being at 45 meters up in the canopies and seeing monkeys BELOW me for the first time made me feel awesome. Pura vida!

Highly recommended for a first time zip line experience - Thanks so much for making our first Canopy tour ever so memorable! I did the tour with my boys aged 7 and 10. Only the you g was super brave and at the beginning, the older one and myself almost sh*t our pants. However the team of Sergio and his buddy were super helpful and encouraging. Anyway, it was perfect to start with the Tarzan swing to bring up the adrenaline. Throughout the tour we felt super safe and they were super serious about the safety protocols. Highly recommended for a first time zip line experience!!!

Fantastic experience! - These guys are the best! I had an amazing experience with them during my trip to Monteverde. I didn’t know what to expect since it was the first time for me, so I was a bit scared, but they made me feel so comfortable. Sergio's cheering jokes and Brian’s confident calmness made me relax and enjoy the experience. They also took tons of great photos and videos! There was a small group of us and we had so much fun. Muchas gracias chicos!
P.S.: I hope you enjoyed the hot springs ;)

Five stars! - Brian and Sergio took great care of us, took the time to learn everyone’s name and a little about each of us in the group. Very personable. I specifically appreciated one of our guides helping my 67 year old mom with her harness while she walked back to the entrance of the park. They made the experience extra enjoyable.

Loved it! - Our guides were great and we had a fantastic time. Choosing this tour for the Tarzan swing alone is worth it! You won't be disappointed!

Inappropriate monitor behavior - Despite generally enjoying the zipline tour, I feel compelled to share an uncomfortable experience I had during the tour. On several occasions, one of the instructors behaved in an overly clingy and intrusive manner towards my girlfriend, which made us both feel uncomfortable. I sincerely hope the company takes steps to address this type of behavior as it can negatively impact customer experience.
