Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Preserve Tours in January 2027

We had a great time! It was the perfect introductory trip. Our agent Yuliana was very responsive and flexible. All the guides were great and very knowledgeable. Drivers were always prompt and courteous. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and the people are extremely friendly and helpful. The wildlife was incredible, the rainforest and beaches are beautiful.

We can't thank Alexander enough for planning an amazing vacation for our family! Everything went incredibly smoothly. We visited the Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest and Manual Antonio Beach. Alejandro was the best guide anyone could ask for! His superior knowledge of the animals and the plants, the geology of the area, the climate and weather patterns and the general culture of Costa Rica helped us learn so much, while having a fun time. We got along so great with him and even miss him! Every hotel chosen for us was beyond beautiful and exceeded our expectations. All of the tours were informational and helped us to reconnect with nature. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank everyone at the travel team who helped us create such wonderful memories. Pura Vida!

Brilliant fantastic awesome fabulous. However I was surprised at how very expensive it had become. Maybe it was Christmas . But it was a tad expensive . But please I know Cesar made it for all of us . He was always there for us . The best guide ever and I seriously mean that.Generous of spirit , humour to speak our language perfectly but to make jokes . Amazing man. He shared his extensive knowledge of animals,plants,fauna & the history of Costa Rica. I cannot give enough praise to Cesar. Amazing place. Pura Vida.?????

What an amazing trip this is, one of our best trips ever. Costa Rica is stunning and to experience the many different ecosystems and habitats and see the matchless variety of bird, animal and plant life was memorable. The itinerary is perfect, allowing one to see contrasting areas and top highlights, also to get off the beaten tourist trail aswell - the stay at Esquinas lodge and the visit to a farming family are good examples. Tourism is wonderfully well managed in Costa Rica and the hotels were all of a good standard, a nice varied selection. Special mention for our guide, David Vargas, who made our trip beyond incredible, see more below. Regarding tips for fellow travellers you will find many in these reviews, such as taking a rain poncho ( downpours tend to be short lived and a poncho fits over your day pack) it’s a good idea to take some US dollars. Credit Cards are widely accepted. We took some Costa Rican Colones aswell but you will easily get those from ATMs as required and at least you can use unspent US dollars on a future trip. Prices are slightly above European I’d say, not cheap for Brits taking into account the pound against the US dollar. Take quick dry clothing, humidity can mean difficulty drying thicker fabrics, and casual walking type gear fits most of the activities. Heavy walking boots would be overkill - waterproof walking shoes or trainers are more than enough. We would also recommend doing the hanging bridges at Monteverde despite the high cost, everyone on our tour took it and agreed it was unmissable. My husband and I also enjoyed the optional trip to the hot springs at La Fortuna with dinner included afterwards. Finally, I’d say if you are considering this trip, don’t hesitate, just do it!

Such a fabulous trip! Aryeri was the very best of the best tour guide and she offered the group so many activities and kept track of everyone when people did a little bit of everything. Highlight was definitely the zip lining and the Tarzan swing. Fantastic group of people and sad to say goodbye. Loved the quick pace of the tour and the constantly on the go-my favorite way of travel!
