I didn't look forward to...
I didn't look forward to zip lining. I am old and have enough "arousal" in my daily life. But I went because my grandkids wanted to go. They had a grand time, and I was OK. I felt safe enough. The staff was professional and caring. And our guided tour of the butterfly house was great. So beautiful, and my grandkids and I learned a lot.

Selvatura Park Combo Tour From Monteverde
The ziplining was amazing! I will not forget ziplining through the gorgeous cloud forest anytime soon. Felt very safe and secure with our guides. It was nice to walk around the forest afterwards as well.
An amazing day, do not miss the cloud forest

Full Day to Selvatura Monteverde Cloud Forest from Guanacaste
Aaron was our driver and he was a wonderful young man who took us to the best restaurants for breakfast and lunch and pointed out beautiful views on the way home for the two of us to take extra photos. We loved the nature walk in the park and the elevated hanging bridges. The guide there was a true professional.

Selvatura Park Combo Tour From Monteverde
Surprisingly fun! Even with a little fear of heights, this was easy. It’s a couple hours of switching between adrenaline rush from the zips, and then heart pumping from an uphill hike between the lines. The hanging bridge walk was excellent and an easy walk. A little annoying that every other exhibit was an add-on fee, but the butterfly garden was excellent (and like a sauna)
Great time!

Full Day to Selvatura Monteverde Cloud Forest from Guanacaste
Excellent tour, driver to the tour was very nice and the spots we went to for food were delicious, especially the lunch. We really enjoyed the walk through the cloud forest and the butterfly sanctuary, the guides were very informative. Make sure to bring a raincoat or poncho as it is almost constantly raining in the clout forest. The only damper we can mention is that we arrived at approximately 10:15 and we were given 45 minutes to do both the reptile and butterfly tours (each are suppose to be 40 minutes). So our butterfly tour was cut very short. We had to advocate for ourselves to get to return to the butterfly tour later so we could see the rest of the exhibit without paying additional money. Otherwise was a very nice tour!

The trip was great. We saw butterflies and sloths. The lunch was also great. The hanging bridges could have used a guide.

Full Day to Selvatura Monteverde Cloud Forest from Guanacaste
We had an excellent time on this tour. Our guide Carlos picked us up exactly on time, at 6(!), because it's a ~4 hour drive to Monteverde. Along the way we stopped for a very tasty traditional breakfast. Be prepared for some bumps, because the road to Monteverde, especially as you get close, is very bad, it's basically just a chain of potholes! This tour includes 3 guided tours within the Selvatura Park which is in Monteverde. Butterflies, Reptiles, and the Nature Walk with the 8 hanging bridges. It was a rare sunny day when we went, but it was still ~10degF cooler than the plains. The nature walk with the hanging bridges was the most fun, and we had an excellent guide who knew a lot about the plants, trees and birds. We didn't see any animals. The butterflies and reptiles exhibits were also very informative. The guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. On the drive back we stopped for another excellent meal, a late lunch of traditional Costa Rican food. All in all a great day! It's a long day, but mostly because the drive there and back takes ~ 8 hours. Well worth the time! 5 stars!!

While it was a bright sunny day for us trekking through the cloud forest, we felt it gave us a lot better viewing opportunities. Definitely go with a guide, but don't pay the extra amount for a private guide. The guides will point out things you will never see on your own and give you so much information about flora and fauna. We just had four of us in our group. We did see the elusive Quetzel bird which was lucky for us.

Selvatura Park Combo Tour From Monteverde
Worthwhile to book through Viator because transportation was arranged from town. Selvatura is similar to an amusement park and most of the day is self-guided. When you arrive and after check in, recommend going straight to the zip line adventure so you don’t have to wait for too long. There are waits between certain lines but that allows your guides to have time to get everyone across and stay with your small group. I appreciated that the same guides accompanied us throughput, which made it more enjoyable and lighthearted. I recommend paying the $12 fee for the Superman position for the final zip line. The views are remarkable and unforgettable. There is a restaurant on the park so you can order lunch. There are small fees for lockers and pictures.

We had a great time visiting the Cloud Forest. We saw many animals and had a local lunch at a cute restaurant. Our guide and driver were both very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend. Enjoy!

How to Get There

Most Selvatura Park tours include round-trip transportation from your accommodations in Santa Elena or Monteverde, and some day trips even include transportation from the coast. If traveling from Monteverde on your own, simply head north from the main town and follow the signs to Selvatura Park.

Show all

When to Get There

Selvatura Park is open year-round, seven days a week. The most popular time to visit Costa Rica is from mid-November through April (the dry season). You’ll find reliable sunshine and clearer skies during the dry season, but with it come higher prices and peak crowds. If you don’t mind the rain, visiting May through November is less crowded and less expensive.

Family-Friendly Activities at Selvatura Park

Most activities at Selvatura Park are family friendly. Children age 4 and up can participate in the zipline canopy tours. Smaller children may need to go tandem with a parent or a guide but may be able to do some of the shorter lines on their own. The guided butterfly garden tours are especially suited for families with young children, and children will also enjoy exploring the rain forest along the treetop walkways.
