Regarding the reviews questioning the presence of orchids, our experience indicates otherwise. The tour guide highlighted numerous orchids, which, while small, were vibrant and present. Some exhibited pleasant fragrances, while others had a distinct metallic scent. The tour itself was both informative and engaging. We recommend this tour to individuals with an interest in floral displays.

This is definitely a great alternative to nightwalks and it also is very educational as the guides are very good. You can go twice in a day as most frogs are nocturnal so they wake up when dark. Just one important point. The tree frogs (colorful ones) wake up very late (7.30 or later) so go at 7.00pm and walk with guide. Great place to spend 20$.

We had a great time on our morning coffee tour with Norman. We had a small group of 8 and Norman took the time to show us the farm and every step of the coffee making process. He was very knowledgable and the small group made it very intimate and involved. The property is beautiful and the Monteverde coffee company seems like a great company. Plus, at the end you get to sample all the coffees (SO much coffee). Highly recommend!

Incredible experience and such friendly guides! The zip lines were amazing, Joseph was very friendly and clear with his direction. They provide a professional photographer (photos sold separately but worth it) who took excellent photos! The hanging bridges were also amazing, we saw many birds and lots of monkeys! Beautiful views, friendly staff, and all around a great experience!

We had an extraordinary breakfast cooking class at the Ecological Sanctuary! We began with Chris walking us around the beautiful property to collect ingredients for our breakfast. Chris is so knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the farm’s history and sustainability. We even got to see some animals along the way too. The food was incredible, and the coffee was PHENOMENAL! You can tell now much love and passion goes into this place, and we are so grateful to have experienced it. Don’t hesitate to stop by and have your own magical experience!

The hotel was beautiful, with spacious bedrooms and great service from almost all the staff—though the chef cooking the eggs at breakfast was noticeably rude towards guests (speaking rudely and shoving the eggs on your plate), which was a slight letdown. Breakfast itself, however, was excellent, with a very good selection of food, including fresh farm-to-table options. The homemade granola in particular was exceptional and a real standout. The restaurant overall was a real highlight: prices were very reasonable given the excellent quality of the food, and dining with the stunning views. Happy hour was another lovely touch, with sunset views and complimentary popcorn adding to the experience. Getting around the property was easy, and the walking trails were a real pleasure—mostly gentle and accessible, and offering exceptional views of valleys and waterfalls at the end. The strong emphasis on permaculture and sustainable farming throughout the site was fascinating to see in action. You can spend hours learning on this and keeping busy! Although we didn’t encounter much wildlife ourselves on the trails, hiring a guide (which we didn't) would likely improve your chances. A small note: it can get quite windy, so bringing a light jacket is recommended. At night, the wind can sometimes make the rooms feel breezy and you constantly hear it howling outside —something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper. The bathroom itself may feel stuffy. Overall, a wonderful stay with beautiful surroundings, fantastic food, and a thoughtful approach to sustainability.

Very colorful and unique art and items. We spent some time carefully exploring everything – it was mesmerizing! We couldn’t resist and ended up taking some pieces home with us. Definitely a must when visiting Monteverde!
