Top Monteverde Kid Friendly

The zip lining was incredible! The hanging bridges were beautiful! The entire experience was so amazing, I highly recommend this experience. The grounds were extremely well kept and the staff were phenomenal. We had lunch at the restaurant, which was fresh, hot and delicious. 5-stars all around!

What an incredible day in the Monteverde cloud forest! Our guide Kevin and our driver Christian were the best! They picked our family up at our villa in Tamarindo at 5:30am and took us into the mountains to zipline, see sloths and hike through the forest and hanging bridges. The ziplines were exciting and the cloudforest was beautiful! I would highly recommend this full day trip with Native’s Way to see and experience a different part of the country. Be sure to ask for Kevin and Christian!

We had an absolutely fabulous experience with Native’s Way on our trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and a huge part of that was our guide, Kevin, and our driver, Aladberto.The three-hour drive to Monteverde could have felt like a long haul, but Kevin and Aladberto made it part of the experience. Both were incredibly talkative and happy to share stories about themselves, their hometown, and the places we were passing along the way. It gave us a really nice glimpse into Costa Rican life and culture, and honestly, the drive seemed to fly by. Aladberto was also an excellent driver, and we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time.Once we arrived, Kevin knew exactly what he was doing. Having him there to help us navigate the park and get through the process quickly was fantastic. He knew where to go and what to do to get us started with the ziplining, which meant we could spend less time figuring things out and more time enjoying the adventure.And what an adventure it was! Soaring several hundred feet above the cloud forest was absolutely unforgettable. There is something pretty incredible about flying through the canopy with the forest stretching out around you.After ziplining, we met back up with Kevin for our guided walk through the hanging bridges. Just like the ziplining, it gave us a completely different perspective of the cloud forest, this time right up in the canopy. Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and was happy to spend as much time as we wanted stopping, looking, and taking it all in. It never felt rushed.After the tours, we enjoyed a fabulous traditional Costa Rican lunch in Monteverde at Bon Appétit. And a special shout-out to them for the wood-fired Margherita pizza we sampled. Wow. 🍕 That was an unexpected highlight!The drive back was much quieter, which was perfect after a full day of adventure. We were able to sit back, relax, and rest while Aladberto handled the drive.From start to finish, this was a fantastic day. Kevin and Aladberto were wonderful representatives of Native’s Way, and their knowledge, personalities, and professionalism really helped make the experience special. We would absolutely recommend Native’s Way to anyone looking to experience the Monteverde Cloud Forest.

I can see why this is a must do excursion for Monte Verde. Well organized and great team of staff who accompany you through the zip lines. Lovely views of the cloud forest while zipping along. Tarzan swing was a huge hit for the brave people in our group. If Tarzan swing was too tame for you, you can pay for the Superman position on the last zipline.The Hanging Bridges were opportunity to see the cloud forest from a closer distance. Even saw a howler monkey on one of the bridges. We think he enjoyed being the center of attention.It’s an experience that we would all do again.

The ziplining and hanging bridge experience was great, but can't recommend booking through Cool Destinations! First and last time I'll do that. They told us to arrive at 9am for a 9:30 tour come to find out the tours are at 8:30 and 11. Luckily we got there just before 9 and was able to get in the 8:30 group. Also the description of the experience mentions a superman zipline, but that's an additional charge.

This experience was amazing. Breath taking scenery walking through the jungle literally feels like you are where heaven and earth meet. Kevin our guide was amazing full of knowledge; he was excellent

Excellent ziplining! There's a lot of walking, sometimes uphills, between some of the ziplines. I should have worked out before participating. There were people of all ages doing all the activities.

This was my first time zip lining, and I had an absolute blast. The staff was very courteous and helpful.

A very long day that was very worth it (also very worth it to have a local driver navigate us to the Cloud Forest)! Our guide Kevin picked us up at 5:30 am from Brasilito and we arrived at Selvatura Park by 9 am for ziplines and a guided walk across the hanging bridges. We were added to a very big group for ziplines (maybe 40 people), but once we got going, we flew across 15 cables high above the tree canopy with only a few stopping points. It was so surreal, and the Tarzan swing was a lot of fun, too! They take pictures for purchase of the first two runs. Be aware that there are some longer walks/steep hills when switching from one section of the course to the next - hiking shoes are smart.We met up with Kevin and the other folks on our Native's Way tour who visited another section of the park while we did ziplines and did a guided hike together. We were moving pretty quickly from one activity to the next and felt a little rushed, but we slowed down every time we saw a bird or animal (we even spotted a female resplendent quetzal!).Lunch was delicious – we had to order in advance and all picked the Costa Rican option, but the pizzas looked great too. We arrived back in Brasilito at 7 pm after a stop at El Jardin for bathrooms and souvenirs.A heads up that the roads can get very bumpy higher into the mountains and the closer you get to the park (a “Costa Rican massage”), so if you’re easily motion sick, consider taking or bringing along medicine.

If I could give separate ratings, I would give the hanging bridge tour two stars and the zip line four stars. The tour and explanations on the walk were mediocre at best, the guide was on his phone most of the time, but the zip line was amazing. If you're by the beaches expect to be in a car for at least 6 hours round trip.

The whole experience was great , from transportation to the actual excursion 10/10. Would definitely do it again. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.

The best guide ever! Zip lining was amazing as well! Great ride to and from in air condoned van. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful during tour.

I'm so happy I booked with Native's Way! This company is very organized and uses the very best tour guides and drivers. I would most definitely book with them again. My family of 4 did a zip line/hanging bridges combo in the Monteverde cloud forest.Our driver was waiting to pick us up right on time at the front of our hotel and navigated the bumpy curvy roads expertly. We changed drivers/vehicles and joined the rest of our group at a convenient store where we could grab coffee and/or snacks for the remainder of our drive.Our tour guide, Hector, was wonderful! He provided interesting facts about Costa Rica's environment, economy, and development during our long drive to Monteverde. I especially appreciated that he explained what to expect at each point along the way (when we were stopping, if bathrooms or food was available, etc.). He even spotted a family of macaws and had our driver stop, so we could get out and see them!The activities we did were super fun! My family loved the zip lining! I was expecting to just do 3 or 4, but we did at least twice that amount -- I actually lost count. All of the workers we encountered were friendly and made jokes with us when we arrived at each platform, and i felt they did a great job ensuring we were safe.The hanging bridges hike was amazing, thanks to Hector. He pointed out various species of plants and birds and helped us to understand more about the unique cloud forest ecosystem. He even offered to take pictures of our family on the bridges!After the activities, we drove part way down the mountain and had lunch. Hector pre-ordered our meals (we all chose what we wanted), so our food was ready within minutes of our arrival. The restaurant was lovely and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed chatting with Hector and the other member of our tour.This was such a great excursion for us! Hector and our drivers took care of all the details, so our family was able to focus on making memories together!

Excellent tour. Beautiful drive to the cloud forest. Very knowledgeable tour guides. Excellent zip lining and hanging bridge hike. Definitely recommend.

We’ve zip lined in many countries and this 13 zip line course was the best. We expect enjoyed the two longer 1k tandem ziplines in the cloud forest. Hanging bridges were interesting also.

Our first real zip line experience. Soaring across the plush canopies of Monteverde’s cloud forest has been on of my personal bucket list items, and Selvatura Adventure Park made it real. The park crew’s attention to our safety was meticulous and focused. The views were eyegasmic! The zip lining was exhilarating! If you are in Costa Rica, it is a must do adventure. Highly Recommend!!
