Where the Adventure Began: The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde

Some experiences stick with you forever and this is one of them. Born in 1994, The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde wasn’t just the first of its kind in Monteverde, it was the first canopy zipline tour in Costa Rica. Over 30 years later, it’s still a favorite for locals and travelers alike.

What makes it so special? It blends the rush of flying high through the trees with the raw beauty of the cloud forest. You’ll glide along 10 ziplines, taking in those iconic mist-covered treetops as you go. When you reach the Tarzan swing, take a deep breath and let go, you’re in for a drop that’ll leave you grinning from ear to ear. And just when you think you’ve done it all, you’ll rappel down from a platform, adding a whole new level of adrenaline.


More Than Just a Zipline Tour

Yes, you’ll fly. Yes, you’ll swing. But this tour also lets you connect with the forest in a way that’s rare and powerful. One of the highlights is a Strangler Fig tree climb, you actually go up inside the tree, spiraling through its hollow core like a scene out of a nature documentary. It’s awe-inspiring.

Along the way, you’ll also cross hanging bridges and explore platforms hidden in the trees. You’re not just passing through this forest, you’re stepping into its story.


Safety, Heart, and Local Soul

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned adventurer, you’ll feel totally taken care of. The guides are certified, bilingual, and genuinely love what they do. Their energy is contagious, and they’re there to make sure every moment feels both exciting and safe.

And the location couldn’t be better. The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde is just minutes from Santa Elena, so you don’t have to go far to start soaring.

" Brian and Fray were our guides, and they were fantastic, and they worked well as a team. Fray was in charge of taking photos of the group, and Brian gave the instructions, answered any questions, and they both made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. I am almost 55 years old, and I may have asked more questions than some, but Brian was very patient, encouraging, and never made any of us feel rushed. Both he and Fray have great personalities for interacting with people. I would 💯 recommend the original canopy tour."
