I absolutely loved the ziplining @ Selvatura Park!!! The guides were really funny and not too bad on the eyes :). They were very helpful with taking pictures for my friend and I. The views were incredible and the whole experience was so fun. I did like the canopy tour as well. This was my favorite thing that I did... More

We did the Ecoglide tour in the Arenal area a few days prior to doing this one so we have something to compare it to. Pros of the Selvatura Ziplining: 1) Can do tandem ziplining with another person on 3 lines. We did it as a couple and it was so great to be able to share the experience with... More

My experience at Selvatura Park is one that is unforgettable! My friends and I went on the canopy tour (Zip lining and Tarzan swing) and the bridge walk. The staff we're so friendly and made the experience much more enjoyable for me. They could tell that I was nervous with the zip lining and the Tarzan swing so they made... More

We took the canopy bridge walk. It was very quiet that day and the solitude of being 500 feet above the ground in the trees was incredible. Now I just have to decide what to do with all the fabulous pictures I took!

There are several options here. Ziplines, walking on handing bridges, hummingbird garden and butterfly garden. We did them all. 1. Ziplines are incredible. more than 16 stations, the last of which runs more than 1/2 mile. Well worth it. 2. Hanging bridges. O.K. if you don't do the ziplines. However, if you do the ziplines skip the hanging bridges. 3.... More

We chose Selvatura because we had zip-lined last year at Selvatica in Mexico and loved it. Since they are owned by the same person we thought it would be a safe bet. Selvatura was amazing. The zip lines were high and long and the scenery was BREATHTAKING. There is a tarzan swing before the last zip line (which is 1... More

I visited Selvatura Park on March 5, 2013, and it was certainly one of the highlights of my Costa Rica trip. Anybody in reasonably good shape should go ziplining--if for no other reason than to be able to tell people you went ziplining through the cloud forest of Costa Rica. The guides are friendly and helpful--although at times you can... More

One of the highlights of our trip was the zip lining at Selvatura, which was very well organized. It was exhilerating flying over the cloud forest on the 15 cables, and especially the Tarzan Swing at the end. It was a blast!

We have previously ziplined near Playa del Coco and Rincon, and this was by far the best we have experienced in Costa Rica. They had a couple of VERY long lines (so that we had to ride double), with excellent views of the canopy. We went in April, and it stilled seemed very green up here, even though the forests... More

We booked this excursion through "Anywhere Costa Rica". We were picked up at our hotel, Cabana los Pinos, promptly in the morning and taken in a tourist bus up to the park, which is about a 20-minute drive from Monteverde. My family and I had done zip lines before, in Mexico and Belize, so we considered ourselves pretty experienced. However,... More
