Tour 3-in-1
Aerial Tram + Rainforest Nature Walk + River Cruise
Private Combo Tour from San Jose
Book a private Rainforest 3-in-1 combo tour from San Jose. Experience the ultimate nature day trip combining three top Costa Rican eco-adventures in a single day. Fly through the jungle canopy on a majestic aerial tram ride, cruise down the scenic Sarapiquà River on a wildlife safari boat tour, and embark on an educational guided hike through a private rainforest reserve. Private round-trip transportation, expert naturalist guides, a traditional lunch, and all admission tickets are fully included.
What to Expect on This Full-Day Rainforest 3-in-1 Combo
Your private adventure begins with a convenient morning pickup directly from your hotel in San Jose. Traveling in a comfortable, modern, air-conditioned vehicle, you will enjoy a scenic drive through the breathtaking mountains of Braulio Carrillo National Park as you head toward the lush Caribbean lowlands of SarapiquÃ.
1. The Aerial Tram Canopy Ride
Your first adventure takes you high above the jungle floor on our safe, open-air aerial tram. This smooth gondola ride glides silently through the different layers of the tropical rainforest, carrying you straight into the sun-drenched canopy. Accompanied by your certified naturalist guide, you will spend approximately 1.5 hours learning about forest ecology while looking for colorful toucans, sloths, and monkeys.
2. The Sarapiquà River Boat Safari
Next, you will board a comfortable, covered motorized boat for a relaxing safari cruise down the historic Sarapiquà River. This aquatic ecosystem is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. As you glide along the riverbanks, your guide will help you spot green iguanas, caimans, river turtles, howler monkeys, and a spectacular variety of aquatic birds like herons, kingfishers, and egrets.
3. Guided Nature Hike & Interactive Exhibits
To complete the trio, your guide will lead you on an easy, educational nature walk along beautifully maintained rainforest trails to experience the jungle floor up close. During this segment, you will also explore our specialized interactive exhibits, including a vibrant Butterfly Garden, a rescued Orchid Garden, and a Terrarium filled with native tropical amphibians and reptiles.
Between adventures, you will savor a delicious, authentic Costa Rican Traditional Lunch at our scenic rainforest restaurant, featuring fresh local ingredients.

Amazing Costa Rica Experience
Our guide, Alberto Gonzales, with Greenway made sure our experience was filled with great information and wonderful things to see, buy and taste. We were able to see many animals on land and water and learn all about the culture while zooming around in a comfortable bus. It was a small tour so we had plenty of personal attention. Greenway was the best tour on our trip to Costa Rica! A great company!

Birds, Crocs, Howlers and Sloths we saw it all…
Lazy day on the river and effortless walk in the forest led us to see an abundance of local wildlife. Knowledgeable guide and small group size made it all the better. Very accommodating, comfortable, clean vehicles. We even stopped for a local meal and to sample regional fruit…Highly recommend!
