The following tours in Veragua Rainforest are available as shore excursions in most of the cruise lines calling on Puerto Limon under similar names. Please contact your shore excursion team on board for details and prices.
A day at the Veragua Rainforest is the perfect way to experience firsthand as many of Costa Rica’s wonders as possible.
Glide through the rainforest treetops on a Sky Gondola looking out for monkeys, sloths and colorful rainforest birds. Visit the world-class Frog and Reptile Habitats– and mingle with hundreds of butterflies at the Butterfly Garden, including the famous blue morpho!
Journey into the forest on diverse walking trails, admiring the sights and sounds of wild flora and fauna. Enjoy a walk to the riverbank or hike to a spectacular cascading waterfall, feeling the thunderous spray almost at your fingertips.
Experience the most exhilarating canopy zip-line ride in the Caribbean: the award-winning Original Canopy Tour® in the Veragua Rainforest!
This tour offers you the opportunity to journey into the rainforest canopy and appreciate views of La Amistad International Park and Chirripó Reserve in a unique and unforgettable fashion.
This world-famous tour consists of 11 observation platforms and 11 horizontal “zip line” traverses specially designed to provide a number of views and experiences. Safety is our priority at the Original Canopy Tour®, and all guests are provided with thorough instruction.
Please note: The Original Canopy Tour is a separate tour and it is not included in the regular Veragua Rainforest Eco-Adventure entrance fee.
Your nature experience begins as a professional guide introduces you to the snakes of the Caribbean coast (they are behind glass) and you stroll along easily-accessible trails to the aerial tram. The Frog Habitat is one of the world’s largest frog exhibits, and the Butterfly Garden swarms with the world’s most colorful butterflies.
You will then enter an open-air Sky Gondola that takes you through the primary rain forest past 300-year-old trees and down to the riverbank. You will then walk the Trail of the Giants or hike to the 60-foot Puma Waterfall. Ride the tram to the top station and visit the biological research station.
Following a hot lunch (Not included, available for an extra cost), you will experience all the adventure of the Original Canopy Tour® as you journey through the treetops over 11 traverses on a patented, safe dual-line system. This system allows you to silently glide through the different levels of the rainforest. You will have views as far as the eye can see, as the reserve neighbors the largest park in Central America.
In addition to the tours described above, certain cruise lines also offer additional tours, which are described below:
