  Interesting. I love orchids. Small but always something to see. Bit expensive but the guide loves her job. I think there should be a tourist price and a tico price.

  Great experience! Our guide knew her stuff and walked people through many of the quirks of orchids. Their company collection of miniature orchids was impressive. This place is worth a visit.

  I loved this garden! What an amazing learning experience. I had no idea that orchids could be so tiny. If it weren’t for this tour I would have missed so many. After this tour I was able to spot orchids in the preserves. Teeny tiny little flowers that I otherwise would have missed. If you’re a plant lover like I am, then this is a must do!

  Did not enjoy coming here due to the fact that I did not see any orchids that were alive for the most part. I think it is mostly due to the fact that we came to the garden in December however it is not a big place and regardless of it being the off season for orchids (perhaps) the grounds were not kept up nicely and the green house was falling apart on the inside. We also were put into a tour group which I was not expecting and it was a small and crowded area to even walk around and enjoy the minimal orchids that were alive. Save your money and your time and see the orchids in Monteverde in the cloud forest.

  Maybe we went at the wrong season but the orchids weren’t impressive. Not worth the $12/person. Go spend more time in the cloud forest reserve and find your own orchids. We also had an awful group of people with us. Didn’t change the fact that many of the plants seemed dead and the greenhouse was in tatters. Would skip it.

  Our tour guide was excellent. He kept a good place, pointed out interesting facts about orchids and deftly maneuvered the group through sometimes cramped quarters. His knowledge of the botany was a bit shallow, but sufficient. He often didn't know much about specific species but certainly knew the general pollination strategies if orchids. It wasn't cheap (12$ for adults) but what in Santa Elena is?

  The staff here was so nice and passionate botanists. The variety of orchids was the largest collection I've seen, my family and I learned a lot and enjoy it very much.

  Looks nice but it's so expensive In my opinion it's overpriced but that's for many tourist Tours in Costa Rica

  Informative tour, but a little underwhelming compared to some other things you could do in the area

  Informative, fun way to spend an hour. Good guide.
  
  We enjoyed seeing all of the flowers, including all the incredible tiny orchids. The guides were good. Guided tour took about 45 mins. This was a really nice short activity that was perfect for what it was.

  Many orchids in bloom, even during off season. Staff had some knowledge.
