As part of a tour by Gate 1 Travel, we ventured to Selvatura Park in the Monteverde Cloud Forest area. What a wonderful place to experience the zip lines and hanging bridges. My 85 year old mother even went on the zip lines with the assistance and encouragement of the incredibly nice young men who helped us through the process.... More

I am afraid of heights so I knew I would not sign on for the Zip line. However, I dared myself to try the Hanging Bridges and am glad I did. The tour was just about two hours with some hiking up and down steps to the various bridges. I spotted a Bell Bird, (well our guide did), and we... More

Well organised,with outstanding attractions. Pricey, but worth every penny. Our forest walk was marred by torrential rain, so we did not see much wildlife, but our guide kept us entertained and informed about the varied flora around us. Buy one of their 10$ ponchos if it looks like rain! We got free entry to the humming bird garden as compensation.... More

If you are going to visit Monteverde's cloud forest, consider visiting this park. We took the Zipline tour that was offered. It was about 2 1/2 hours long and featured about 15 zip lines, the longest one about 1000 meters long. You get strapped with the appropriate safety belt and get fitted with gloves and a helmet. Then, you get... More

This was a great spot. I was terrified to go ziplining, but the staff were amazing. They even went with me on the bigger lines when it got windy and I was scared. They were so accomodating and made me feel ok when I was terrified. I couldn't have asked for better service. Its also a good zip line because... More

We just spent a couple of days at Selvatura Park and were incredibly pleased – could not have been better! There are five different canopy tour/zipline companies in Monteverde and I can’t imagine one being better than Selvatura. From their efficient, on-time transportation to their friendly reception, to their safe, top-of-the-line harnesses to their wonderful workers, we were well-taken care... More

We did the tree top walkways, hummingbird garden and butterfly garden tours. I don’t remember our guide’s name but he was very good. He suggested that we start at the end of the walkways trail and walk to the beginning to avoid the crowds that were starting at the ‘correct’ end. This way we would have a better chance of... More

This is an excellent site. We actually saw the bell bird a this location. The guide saw a female with a twig to build a nest, and then the male went to the same area. The guide was going to go back to find the area since the nesting behaviors of the bell bird have never been seen. I wish... More

Go Canopy ziplining. It's fun with amazing views you'll only see on the Discovery Channel (if you are lucky). We were able to see such gorgeous parts of the forest while enjoying it. Even though it rained, it was still good fun. The suspension bridges are a long but worthwhile hike thorugh the forest with a chance to spot flowers,... More

I've travelled to Costa Rica before and we did a zip line near Tamarindo. Selvatura by far and away, was much much better. If you are even thinking about zip lining while in Costa Rica, go to Selvatura. Its the best. Their course is comprised of 15 zip lines and an optional 'Tarzan Swing' which is really a thrill in...
