Such a fun day out, the guides were really fun and helpful and safety is heir priority. The views from the ziplines were amazing and the Tarzan swing was so fun! The walk through hanging bridges was a nice way to chill out after an adventurous morning!

Itinerary

Prepare for an early morning pickup to make the most of the full day, then watch the landscape and vegetation change during the 3.5-hour drive inland to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. One of Costa Rica's most famous and distinctive ecosystems, the cloud forest thrives on a near-constant stream of moisture and is home to more than 2,500 plant species, 400 types of birds, and 100 mammal species.

After arrival at the Selvatura Park adventure base, prepare for your first activity with a safety and equipment orientation (order of activities may vary). For the zipline tour, strap into a safety harness and launch from treetop platforms to soar through the misty forest canopy. Fly on 15 different cables of various lengths, including the immense ‘Superman’ cable that stretches more than a half mile (1 kilometer) long and towers 590 feet (180 meters) above the forest floor. If you like, connect with your wild side with a ride on the giant Tarzan swing.

After a break for lunch (included), slow it down with the hanging bridges adventure. Get a bird’s-eye perspective on Monteverde's treetop life while walking across multiple suspended bridges that range between 150-510 feet (50-170 meters) in length and 36-180 feet (12-60 meters) in height. The spacious bridges are among the widest and strongest in Costa Rica, so you're ensured a secure, comfortable walk through the clouds.

Once you've completed both adventures, descend to the forest floor and relax on the return drive to the Pacific coast, where the tour concludes with evening drop-off at your hotel.

We had an awesome time at Selvatura Park! The zip lines were so much fun, and our guide, Bryan, was the best! Every staff member was very nice and efficient, and they switched between Spanish and English depending on what you were most comfortable with. The hanging bridges were self-guided (though guided tours are available upon request), so we were able to take our time and enjoy the nature. There were also butterfly and sloth exhibits you could visit during your free time while you were there. The sloths were especially cute, and the guide for that tour was very informative and engaging!

Dream came true
Mark_A, Oct 2025
Our first real zip line experience. Soaring across the plush canopies of Monteverde’s cloud forest has been on of my personal bucket list items, and Selvatura Adventure Park made it real. The park crew’s attention to our safety was meticulous and focused. The views were eyegasmic! The zip lining was exhilarating! If you are in Costa Rica, it is a must do adventure. Highly Recommend!!
Amazing Experience

The drive to the cloud forest was rough! But is was beautiful! Our guide was great and the lunch was delicious! Amazing ziplines through the clouds.
Great tour, but book it directly with Salvida Park.
Zaid_K, Apr 2025
This review is going to be split as this company who's selling this tour are not associated with the actual company that runs the zip line and the hanging bridges at salvida park.. I'm going to start with the crew who assisted us with the zip line and the photographers as well as the staff for the hanging bridges were absolutely amazing, wonderful people and the experience was phenomenal. However, this company that's selling this tour are not associated with salvida park. They are a third party who are only purchasing your tickets in advance for you, which you can do directly from salvida park. The time they gave us to be at the park was meaningless and had nothing to do with actual zip lining or the hanging bridges. So we are still trying to figure out why they told us to show up at a certain time, when it had no relative meaning. I highly recommend doing the combo tour. However, book it directly with salvida park and save yourself at least $20 per person.
I’m so confused by this....
Emily_F, Apr 2025
I’m so confused by this. The hanging bridges and the zip line were amazing and I would highly recommend. But there is NO REASON to book this tour through Viator if you’re doing the self drive option . I’d advise to go directly through the park. You save $40. Through the app, I was made to believe I’d be meeting a group at Selvatura Park. My partner and I waited for over an hour. We contacted the company who said we could just check in and do the activities. I’m not sure what we paid this company for, it www so frustrating and directionless
Ziplining was so much fun! Hike was easy with great views! Delicious lunch!
Amanda_M, Mar 2025
The staff was super friendly and worked in sync to get the large (16-20 ppl) through all of the platforms with minimal waiting. The Tarzan Swing was a highlight as well as the final zipline that was 1 km. Great canopy views! The suspension bridge hike also had some great views. We did the self-guided hike and I would definitely recommend as we could spend as much or as little time at any one spot as we wanted. After the adventuring we ate a delicious lunch at the restaurant on site. Definitely recommend the veggie quesadilla and the fish tacos!
Fun for everyone

Fun and done!
Melodie_A, Mar 2025
Overall, what an awesome experience. :) It was a looooong day (4 hr drive each way from the coast, 5 am pickup) so prepare for that with snacks, headphones to use your personal devices and maybe a sleep mask or hat for the drive. We had a small group and everyone fell asleep on the way home. You do make one bathroom stop during the drive. We got to stop at a store where we purchased some snacks. While our tour guide and driver mostly ignored our group on the drive, and was mostly focused on the organization/schedule. Our guide did join the hanging bridges walk and was enthusiastic in sharing lots of cool interesting information about the plants and wildlife. There are 8 bridges in total with beautiful views of the rainforest. The first 4 are the easiest and you can stop and turn around to head back if you need more accessibility, as the next 4 involve a bit more hiking (still fairly easy/moderate but some steeper portions). I learned that there was a lot more hiking during the ziplining tour, so in advance, I would've considered skipping the last 4. The bridges are fun to experience, but definitely remember they are high and can sway a bit when there are many people on them and windy. It is still very cool! The ziplining tour was much more strenuous, but soooo fun. You are put in a bigger group and assigned some ziplining guides. Our tour guide did not join during this portion. You walk into a room and the crew places the equipment on you. You then follow and walk to a platform before the first zipline and are giving safety instructions on how to brake and hold. Then off you go! The first few ziplines are easy and quick, from one line to the next as the guides are efficient in moving everyone along. You do feel safe the entire time. The adrenaline you get is unreal! Two of the ziplines are tandem and give you the most amazing views! There are 13 ziplines in total, and you have the option to do the Tarzan swing at the end. Most people did it and enjoyed it! It's not as tall as it seems so not too bad. We tipped the guides well because they did great at communicating, adding some light humor to make it fun, and making you feel safe the entire time. I'd go through the Selvatura Park again. We even had a family with small children who joined the activity. The crew added extra guides to ride with them for safety. These two activities occurred between 930 and 1 pm, the first took 1.5 - 2 hours and the zipline was 1.5 hours. When you are done with the canopy/ziplining tour, you enter a giftshop area where you can purchase photos and video of your experience. We had about 15 min to change, and then we headed to lunch further down the mountain at a great restaurant (fancy and delicious). You are given the option for the traditional Costa Rican casado dish with chicken, beef, or fish. We had about 45 min to 1 hour here. Then the long drive home! A must do experience in costa rica!

Ivan was amazing, Zip lining was fun but not too long and the hanging bridges did not disappoint……..
Great time in the Selvatura Park
Sebastien_D, Jan 2025
We had a great time zip lining and hiking on the hanging bridges. The area is beautiful and definitely worth the visit. Only thing to keep on mind is that this is not a guided tour. It basically includes only admission to the park (zip lining + hanging bridges) and transportation to and from local Monteverde hotels.
Great experience but just take a cab and purchase tickets yourself
Helen_C, Jan 2025
The zip line tour and hanging bridges were amazing and very fun. But it’s a complete waste of money to book through Viator. Simply take a cab directly there and buy admission. You’ll avoid the tremendous upcharge.
Hanging bridge not a Guided tour
Milind_M, Dec 2024
Zipline was good. The Tarzan swing as well. The Hanging bridge tour was supposed to be a guided tour, however, we were told it was a self guided.
Ziplines are fun. Queuing was long.
Elliot_S, Dec 2024
Average experience. Ziplines were extremely fun as expected but the experience as a whole isn’t the best as the queuing is ridiculous. Over 2 hours. Not what we expected for the price. Tourist trap 🪤
Very fun activity, would recommend in MonteVerde
Megan_P, Dec 2024
This was my family’s favorite activity in Costa Rica! Zip lining was fun, but adventurous. There were small kids and older adults participating and all did fine. Lunch was delicious, but we had to choose off a fixed menu rather than the larger menu, which i found annoying. Honestly though, my advice would be to book directly with Selvatura park. The vans pick everyone up together anyway, and then you can choose a la cart the activities you want to do. There was no difference in experience for us vs those that booked directly. All in all, highly recommend.
Thank you Viator
Amit_R, Dec 2024
Booked all my tours through Viator for my Costa Rica trip. They were fully reliable and amazing . They even refunded my last min cancellation due to my child getting sick. I would highly recommend.
Awesome tour!! Worth every penny!!
HANNAHSIDDIKA_I, Dec 2024
I had this “Zipline and Hanging bridges combo tour with shared transportation & Guide” with my husband. Tour company’s guide came to pick us up in front of our hotel entrance (Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica) at 6:00am and drop us off in front our hotel’s main lobby at 5:30pm. We were 6 tourists (excluding driver & our guide) in the mini van which was comfy & relaxing for us and there were lots of empty seats. At first, We took the Zipline in “Monteverde Selvatura Park” which had 15 Zipline points including Tarzan Swing (optional), Superman (last one) and photographs (point 1 & 2). We just had to pay a little bit extra for Superman & photographs. It was very exciting & full of thrills. All the instructors at each point was very careful with everything & detailed with their instructions as well as very friendly & respectful. Every time they to took their time to recheck our harness to ensure the safety, gave us various instructions without any rush and then let it go. I would recommend to do the Zipline in the morning as early as possible because it will be less crowded & more fun. During our time in Zipline, it was only me & my husband; no other tourists were there with us and we had a feeling like whole rainforest only belongs to us which was great. I would definitely recommend this “Monteverde Selvatura Park Zipline” to anyone who have no health issues. Then we started our hanging bridges tour. Here, our guide took us through a 1.50-2.00 hours walking tour through the Monteverde rainforests covering all the hanging bridges. Our guide was very friendly, helpful & informative about the rainforest & biodiversity of the area and tried to show us various birds & animals. We saw black gum birds, a howler monkey and few raccoons. On our way back we had our lunch (included in the tour) at good restaurant and food tasted good too. Our return journey was very relaxing and enjoyable except the bumpy roads here & there. Through the whole tour, our driver was also very experienced & careful. Overall we are extremely pleased regarding our tour. It’s simply awesome!!
