The guide was amazing, the food and hotel were really good. I was expecting to hike in the forest and mountains but it was more of a bird watching tour. So it was zero walking and lots and lots of bird watching standing still for long periods of time. It was not what i was looking for.

Adventure Holidays to Monteverde
The Monteverde cloud forests, in the central highlands of Costa Rica, are a misty, verdant paradise, home to countless plant species and diverse wildlife, including the endangered resplendent quetzal bird.
Adding to Mother Nature’s fine work, the local reserves installed sky walk bridges and zip lines through the forest canopy – a truly exhilarating experience.
There are also miles of trails to help nature lovers discover this unique ecosystem. The lush reserves attract scientists, bird watchers, and wildlife lovers from all parts of the world but you can also visit the quaint town of Santa Elena and find cafes, restaurants, galleries, and views that will have you pinching yourself.

Benoit Pigeon Discover Costa Rica
Sarah Spicer Discover Costa RicaI did this trip in September 2025 and this is by far the best one I have done so far. This trip shows you how diverse the country is with its different ecosystems and wildlife. From the Caribbean coast over to the Pacific. Everywhere you look there is an abundance of wildlife from the colourful birds and larger mammals/primates right down to the tiny frogs and leaf cutter ants.
Nicole Twomey Discover Costa RicaTwo weeks in Costa Rica getting to explore the country’s most beautiful and diverse sites was one of the most incredible adventures I have been on. The fact that all places are so unique and diverse from one another and getting to see incredible wildlife throughout the trip was fantastic.
