My first trip to Monteverde was magical, thanks to MonteTours. Their expert team took away all the stress of planning, helping me with everything from the best tours to choosing the right shuttles. Their local knowledge is unparalleled, making every experience authentic. I was particularly impressed by their commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Who We Are at MonteTours

We are not just a tour and transportation company; we symbolize resilience and passion. 😍

Founded in the challenging year of 2020, amidst the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, our journey began when the world paused and tourism faced unprecedented hurdles.

We originally started in 2015 with a hotel in Monteverde, Costa Rica, which we had to close in 2020 due to the global pandemic, as our borders were closed for several months.

However, we saw an opportunity -to prepare for a new era of sustainable, responsible, and immersive travel- and ventured on a new journey, helping travelers plan to visit our country once the borders open again. Learn more about us here.

What Customers Say About MonteTours


Best Experience Ever! Nature Tour by MonteTours

It was the best experience ever! Our guide was excellent. He started the tour by setting expectations upfront and then took us through different paths. We spotted some cool snakes, insects, and birds! And we captured the pictures on our phones!

– Vaishnavi Soundar
Small Group Tour Night Tour by MonteTours

We had a fabulous time on this tour! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and our group was tiny, which was fantastic. We could have listened to him talk all night about the native plants and critters of Costa Rica. Highly recommend checking this out!

– Megan Aquilina
So Many Birds! Birding Tour by MonteTours

Amazing. We're birders and wanted a birding tour specialized in that area, and we're happy we found this place. Our guide was the most passionate person I've ever met. He deeply respected nature and found many bird species for us, which is what we wanted.

Getting Started on Your Trip to Monteverde

Suppose you’ve been to our website before and know precisely what you want to book. In that case, we recommend you click the “Book Now” button (top-right on desktops or center-bottom on mobile devices), as that will open up the widget to get your tickets for tours and shuttles or your reservation for lodging through our accommodations’ partner Booking.com.

On the other hand, if you’re unsure what to book, we recommend you get started by browsing the different sections to learn more about each service. For example, suppose you want to go ziplining but don’t know which Monteverde tour company will suit you best as there are several companies who offer this experience in Monteverde. Then, instead of jumping into the booking widget, you will want to click on “Tours > View All,” then go into the Zipline category to learn the critical differences between each offering to find out which one will suit you best.
