A Wonderful Surprise
When our tour company included a farm tour in our 15 day itinerary we were not sure what to expect or whether it would be a good use of our time. They were smarter than we were. In the end this was one of the best tours we enjoyed and even gave an opportunity to see some wildlife up closer than on the nature tours. The lunch was excellent, our guide and interpreter, Fernando, and the actual farm owner, Freddie, did an excellent job of showing us what crops and livestock are grown and exactly what farm life is like in the mountains of Costa Rica. We even had a chance to plant 2 different plants and feed sweet potatoes to a group of enthusiastic cows. This was a great way to break off from the normal tourist route and learn about the actual country you are in.

Lovely visit!
We had an amazing experience at Monkey Park during our visit to La Fortuna Arenal! From the moment we arrived, we were lucky enough to see monkeys right away 😍—definitely the highlight of our trip. Javier, our guide, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the tour. He made the entire experience even more special. During the farm visit, Don Freddy, the owner, was our personal driver and host. He was extremely welcoming and kind to my family, making us feel right at home. Our baby especially loved feeding the cows, which was such a unique and memorable experience. After exploring the area, we were treated to fresh coconut water—absolutely delicious and so refreshing! The tour ended with a lovely local snack, which was the perfect way to wrap up such an authentic experience. We truly appreciated the opportunity to connect with the local culture and community. Highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the area! Just make sure to bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent, as you’ll be right in the middle of the forest.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does MONKEY PARK Authentic Farm Experience La Fortuna start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
