Must do if you're into flora and fauna. - The park is beautiful. Very lush and lots of wildlife to see. This is where we saw our first sloth encounter. It was magnificent. Kathryn our guide was very knowledgeable. The tram ride was fun and very informative.

Highly recommend for a half-day trip! - What a great trip into the rainforest! You begin by learning on the ground level about the rainforest flora (orchids), butterflies, and reptiles. Then you view the mid-level canopy by aerial tram, and the return of the tram, you are at the top canopy level making for an immersive adventure. Marvin was our fabulous, funny, and knowledgeable guide. We also stayed and had a traditional Costa Rican lunch buffet afterwards making it the perfect half-day trip.

Awesome tram tour! - Tour was great! Didn’t have an actual guide from the company we booked the tour with and our driver didn’t speak any English but we got along well. However, Our guide at Braulio Carilla was Marvin and He was AWESOME! Great tram tour and Marvin was super knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

Loved the tour and Pablo... - Loved the tour and Pablo our guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The only downside was timing. We were picked up at our hotel exactly on time but when I signed up for the tour it stated we would be back to our location by 4pm. We had a meeting to attend at 5 pm so I felt the timing would be fine. We were not back to the hotel until 5:30 and missed our commitment. I would not have signed up if I knew this ahead of time. This was a group tour and there were five different hotels we had to drop folks off before we got to our destination. In the future I recommend you do not put a return time unless you plan to keep to the time frame. I don’t think I would sign up for a group experience again as so much time was spent traveling to so many hotels.On the positive side our guide was excellent and very attentive to the group and I enjoyed the park and tram ride.

Wonderful Rainforest - Overall it was a great experience. Seeing the rain forest up close and personal is a must see! James was an amazing guide and we learned a lot. The only reason it’s not 5 star is the wait time. If you go with someone who is doing a different tour you have to wait to be brought back together. We waited over 2 hours for one person. Then caught A LOT of traffic back. It ended up being a 11 hour day that was suppose to be 6. But as I stated earlier the experience was great but the description is misleading with the time, they should note if we are doing different tours or pick up people based on the tours they are doing.

Great wildlife - Unfortunately, after we arrived the tram broke down and we were not able to take the ride up into the cloud forest which was the reason we booked this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. And we saw a tapir which is quite unusual. It was within 7' of us and did not seem to be bothered by us. The butterfly tent was great and we also saw a sloth. We were reimbursed 100% of the cost of this adventure due to the tram breakdown.

Disappointing - We didn't see any wildlife while on the tram except for butterflies. Not even a single bird. I was disappointed. The best part of the experience was seeing a pack of Coati while we were waiting for our shuttle back.

The aerial tram - overpriced and outdated - We booked the aerial tram experience and were looking out for this - at first sight - excited activity. Sadly, we were very disappointed in our expectations. We didn’t see any animal or bird during the whole trip, only 3 butterflies… I understand one cannot predict the presence of animals, but this was below everything. Further, the price for the tram was ca. 250 US dollar for 4 adults, far above what is reasonable for an a activity that has an outdated look and feel. Spare your money for the La Paz Waterfall Gardens, which is a little bit less expensive but a 5 star activity. PS. The one star is for the personnel in the park, they were very kind and made the best of it.
