Our family of 5 (3 teens) made some fabulous memories at Treetop Park. We purchased the Tram/Zip Line/Hanging Bridges with Guide tour. The views from the Tram Ride were spectacular and worth a single ticket if you aren't into zip lining. Although we have 3 adventurers in our family, two of us were not as excited about zip lining and one of us may have been contemplating running the other way. Maikol saved the day!! Maikol & Oliver took my youngest with them on each of the zip lines, and by the 3rd zip line, my youngest had the BIGGEST SMILE EVER plastered on his face!! My son now reports that the highlight of our 10 day trip to Costa Rica was zip lining! As the other non-adventurer in our family, this was an incredible experience!! I felt very safe despite zipping HIGH ABOVE THE TREES OF MONTEVERDE and I truly enjoyed the experience. I can not recommend the tram/zip line with Maikol and Oliver highly enough, especially for adventurers.
We also did a hanging bridges tour with a guide. The guide spent a lot of time on flora and we did not end up getting to see much fauna other than a spider or two. We also ended up in the midst of a significant thunderstorm (rainy season), so we had to rush over some of the hanging bridges to get to cover - the views from the hanging bridges were incredible even with a downpour and moving quickly. If I had to do it over again, we would skip the guide at Treetopia & just do the hanging bridges on our own time (we had a long guided trip in Arenal the day prior, so this seemed like an unnecessary addition at Treetopia for us). If this was my only stop in this region, I would likely still want a...
Read moreThank you Christopher!
Our incredible guide, Chris, made sure we had a fantastic experience.
Chris had such enthusiasm and passion for the jungle! His years of experience showed.
We saw SO MUCH! 2 Quetzal! Spiders, a snake, a baby sloth, mushrooms & fungi, insects, flora & plantlife, trees, many other beautiful birds - toucans, etc. Give your phone to Chris for pics! He's a fantastic photographer. We all airdropped/shared the photos after the walk was complete. Great fun! And a cool way to get to know the others on the tour.
Overall, a great time. So much for the senses to soak up! Simply incredible. We could have walked for hours more and never been bored.
The food was absolutely worth the price (which is affordable anyways!) Our dishes were plated so beautifully. There is an artist in the kitchen here! Somebody definitely cares for the food they are serving, because all that we ordered tasted & looked soooo good. Fish, Salad, Quesadilla, drinks, yum! WAY more affordable with far superior views when compared to Selvatura Adventure Park's restaurant just up the way
I can't speak to it myself, but 3 people in our group did the Ziplines/hanging bridges package and said it was great fun! 2 of them had sore bodies the next day though! Not sore enough to impose on future adventuring though - thankfully, as that could have easily been the case. Seeing that my mother is 60 years old with severe arthritis, and she was able to enjoy the ziplines + walk and quickly recover from soreness to enjoy the adventures in the days afterwards
Thanks for the fun...
Read moreMy daughter and I booked a guided hanging bridges tour and a canopy (zipline) tour. Our hanging bridge tour guide, Daniel, was so knowledgeable and friendly. He helped us take photos of rare viper snakes, patiently answered questions from the group, and shared his love of the cloud forest. He seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge about the Cloud Forest and it made me and my daughter respect the animals and plant life even more than we did before. The hanging bridges are at different heights and we learned about different species of life at each level. I would highly recommend hiring a guide for at least one activity in Costa Rica.
Our canopy tour began with what almost seemed like an efficient assembly line - the workers had us sign waivers then dressed us in hats, harnesses and provided gloves. We were given instructions and began the tour. We chose Skytrek over other canopy tour companies because of safety measures. There is a breaking system in place, it seemed the other companies provided gloves and the rider slows themselves by grabbing onto the cable. The views were absolutely beautiful, clear skies at first but they became a little cloudy. It was a great experience to speed over the treetops! The canopy tour workers were efficient and there was a good ratio or workers to customers. A photographer was in the canopy tour with us, he took pictures of everyone and there was an opportunity to purchase a picture package at the end of the tour. Overall, it was a...
