Costa Rica Tram Tours

Tram rides provide travelers with some of the most unique and unobstructed views of the forest canopy in all of Costa Rica. Open-air gondolas – which generally hold between four and six people – ascend silently and smoothly above the treetops, allowing passengers to peer down into the complex ecosystem below. Naturalist guides are often onboard helping visitors to understand what they’re seeing, which, in a country that hosts over 500,000 different species, is quite a lot! Tram tours are frequently offered in conjunction with other activities, such as hanging bridge and zip-line tours, and can be found in places like Arenal, Monteverde, Jacó, Limón, and Guapiles.

Pura Vida Adventure Together

We both love nature and hiking so Costa Rica is ideal for both of those. We went during what’s considered the rainy season so you need to be aware of that going in. It rained at some point almost every day we were there but we still had a very enjoyable time. We visited La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio. We enjoyed La Fortuna more. La Fortuna was more jungle whereas Manuel Antonio was more coastal and felt more touristy.

Family Adventure Through Costa Rica

Rachel and her family of four spent a week moving across Costa Rica, from Arenal to the Pacific coast, with every transfer and tour arranged door to door. In Arenal they rode the Sky Adventures aerial tram and ziplines, took on the Balsa River's Class II–III rapids, and walked the EcoGarden trails to find sloths in their actual habitat, not a roadside stop, then the falls at La Fortuna. On the coast at Manuel Antonio they hiked the national park with a local guide, snorkeled the reef, and chased the Mulguri waterfall. As Rachel said, these weren't tours with twenty other tourists trailing the buses. They were the real thing, reachable only through local connections, with the family's days handled start to finish.

Costa Rica Off Season Adventure

We found Costa Rica to be really beautiful. I loved the flowering plants everywhere, but the wildlife is the main reason we went. We didn't see monkeys in every tree or even toucans up close, but we did see them from a distance. We also saw lots of colorful birds in the National Forests that we have never seen before.
