What To Expect
This immersive walk through the cloud forest is designed for conscious travelers who seek more than just a nature tour—they seek connection, learning, and regeneration. It’s an experience for those who want to walk with intention, tune into the rhythms of the forest, and honor its wisdom. Over the course of 2 to 2.5 hours, we journey deep into Monteverde’s unique cloud forest ecosystem, learning about native flora and fauna, ancestral medicinal plants, and the deep interdependence that sustains this living system. Your local guide weaves scientific knowledge with cultural storytelling, inviting you to experience the forest as a teacher and ally. You’ll also discover the remarkable legacy of Monteverde’s Quaker community, whose quiet but powerful conservation efforts helped shape this region into one of the most respected ecological sanctuaries in the world. We close the experience at the Hummingbird Sanctuary, buzzing around in bursts of color and speed. This final moment is both meditative and exhilarating—an invitation to witness the miracle of flight and photograph its fleeting beauty. Includes FREE binoculars for a close-up, mindful experience

5.00My husband and I just had the pleasure of a tour in the cloud forest with George Jnr. He is so passionate about the forest and knowledgeable - and very good at spotting creatures! We learned a lot. Thanks to his perseverance we even managed to see two stunning quetzals. Would definitely recommend for anyone seeking appreciation of the beautiful and unique forest. We will remember our experience forever. Thank you George Jnr!
George Jr is Fantastic!

5.00We did two tours with this company, with George Jr as our guide. Don’t let his age fool you, this kid is a fabulous tour guide. So knowledgeable and so personable. We loved every minute of our tours. Our first was an afternoon hike in the cloud forest which was excellent with a stop at the end at the hummingbird park. That evening, we did a night walk, man that kid can spot the critters. Top notch operation, highly recommend.
Beautiful place and better with a great guide

5.00Had a tremendous day in the Cloud Forest, with many thanks to our guide, George. He is fully dedicated to providing the best possible experience, all the while educating us about the history of the Cloud Forest, as well as its flora and fauna. It would have been a lovely walk even without George, but with George it was an experience we will not forget.
Amazing quetzal sighting and many more

5.00Wow! That was a once in a lifetime experience to walk with George Jr, an expert guide, through the cloud forest and learn so much about the exquisite ecosystem. George was so personable, professional, and knowledgeable. He generously shared his tips and sightings with other tour guides too. It was very nice to see the tour guide community supporting one another. I would not have gotten as much out of that experience if we had gone on our own. We were so fortunate to have George as our guide. I would recommend this 100%!

5.00George and Vinny were so knowledgeable about the local birds, plants, animals and helped us get the BEST pictures of everything. They were so kind, lovely to chat with, gave us delicious Costa Rican candy, and we got to see howler monkeys, rare hummingbirds, and a quetzal! You can tell this is their passion and that really makes the experience so much more special. And I saw a waterfall for the first time!

5.00George is an amazing guide. He kept us all engaged during our tour with interesting information about the plants and animals in Monteverde. His knowledge and experience allowed us the chance to see birds that we would otherwise have missed, including a hummingbird on her nest and a quetzal. Great tour!

5.00This experience was breathtaking! 3 hours walking and discovering the immensity of the cloud forest with Jorge. His skills and wide knowledge let us learn and of course have the opportunity to see beautiful flora and fauna. Jorge knows exactly the specific spots and sounds to look for some special birds like the Quetzal, which we had the opportunity to appreciate. An unforgettable experience.
