We just dropped by to get some info about times and prices rather than booking through a tour company or hotel. The cost to take the tram up and zip line back down was $70 USD per person. The tram ride up was nice, especially when compared to taking a tractor ride up at the other tour we went on.... More

I was hesitant to pay the price, but glad I did. Traveled up into the rainforest on the tram with an informative guide. The views were just outrageous. We saw lists of monkeys, and toucans, scarlet macaws . There were waterfalls and lots to look at. There was a snake exhibit back on the grounds. The guides were very friendly... More

The guide is knowledgeable and the tram ride great (holds 10) Cost was $60 to ride up and back down. One of our group ziplined down ( 14 lines -) but lots of walking hot/sweaty. Gift shop is great too. Enjoyed the explanation of the rainforest - do not expect to see wildlife but the scenery and views are fantastic.

I have a serious fear of heights but thoroughly enjoyed the aerial tram. The ride is very gentle and, most of the time, you are not aware of the height. Once or twice I could see how far down it was! True, there may not be a lot of wildlife to see close by but keep your eyes open for... More

I went just last week with my parents who were in their 80's, my husband and sister. The staff was fantastic with my parents, both of whom have mobility issues. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We all thoroughly enjoyed the visit. We did the tram tour and the walk through the garden and part of the... More

Great staff, very safety conscious. After gearing up we took a ride in the tram up the mountain through some fantastic scenery. Zip lines were great; short rides and long rides over some stunning forest scenes as well as some stunning ocean views. A long "zip" ride over a beautiful canyon was tops! Even though heights have always bothered me,... More

This a rather gentle ride compared with some of the other activities that can take be undertaken in these rain forests. Six or seven passengers ride silently in an open-sided "gondola" through the canopy, whilst a guide points out some of the flora and fauna of interest. On the day we tarvelled there was hardly any fauna to see, but... More

We scheduled the morning bird walk with guide, Roberto, as the first activity upon our arrival in CR. Great decision because he acclimated us to looking, listening and enjoying for the following week of birding and wildlife watching. His knowledge was encyclopedic, the result of 4 years of training at tourism school. CR takes this industry seriously and it shows.... More

Skipped the movie. Then the two of us took the tram ride with a tour guide. His english and knowledge of the canopy was quite good. (He was also quite personable.) Many birds to see, some lizards/insects. Few mammals. Took a tour of the grounds where the guide showed particular species of plants and their "snake zoo." Modern and safe.... More
