Beautiful walk over suspension bridges. Bit of an American feeling at the entrance; they try to split all kinds of insurance in the stomach. Just don't fall down stairs. The sloths and butterfly tour were both really worth the money, while we are not necessarily naturalists. The guide of the butterfly tour was a nice young man who told calmly from passion without spinning a standard story. The guide of the sloths was a little less to follow but also enjoyed, we have seen no less than 5 sloths eating and exercising! The restaurant is pricey, 8 dollars for a (large) cake and soon 25 dollars for a meal, but the quality was good.
Hartelijk dank voor deze uitgebreide review en de waardevolle feedback! We zijn super blij om te horen dat het een topuitje is geweest en dat u zo heeft genoten van de prachtige wandeling over de hangbruggen. Wat fantastisch dat u maar liefst vijf luiaards heeft zien bewegen en dat de passie van onze gids bij de vlindertuin zo positief opviel! Dat is precies de ervaring die we onze gasten willen meegeven. We nemen uw opmerkingen over de ontvangst bij de ingang en de prijzen in het restaurant erg serieus. Fijn dat de kwaliteit van het eten goed was, maar we begrijpen uw punt over de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding heel goed en gebruiken deze feedback om onze service te blijven verbeteren. Nogmaals bedankt voor uw bezoek en hopelijk tot een volgende keer in het nevelwoud!
Relaxing experience for lovers of local flora. Guide was incredibly knowledgeable about local flora and fauna but trip itself is about the flora without many fauna sightings. It felt like a relaxing and gentle morning hike followed by a nice latte at the restaurant afterwards.
Amazing experience walking in the clouds. 8 hanging bridges in total. Sadly we didn’t see any wildlife apart from a couple of small birds at the end. Not sure if it was the weather, the day, the season or what. A little disappointing, although still lovely to be in the rain forest.
A spectacular, wonderful, essential tour if you are in Monteverde. It is a beauty to see the forest from the hanging bridges.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tan linda reseña! Nos alegra de corazón saber que disfrutaste de la majestuosidad del bosque desde los puentes colgantes y que consideres la experiencia como algo imprescindible en tu paso por Monteverde. Agradecemos profundamente tu visita y tus palabras. ¡Esperamos tener el gusto de recibirte de nuevo muy pronto para seguir caminando entre las copas de los árboles!
The hanging bridges tour is a great hike through the stunning and verdant cloud forest. While the trail is only 3km, it includes eight bridges, the largest of which is over 500 feet long. The bridges allow you to pass through the canopy and get wide views of the mountains. I'm glad we went in the afternoon, when the clouds rolled in; while we didn't see much wildlife, the misty views were unique and beautiful. Unfortunately the afternoon means rain, and a particularly strong storm rolled in during our trek. It made for wet, yet memorable experience. The trail is not very difficult, but there are some stairs, and of course it may not be for those who are afraid of heights. Be sure to bring good shoes and a thick rain coat.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience on our hanging bridges! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the hike through the verdant cloud forest and that walking through the canopy provided such stunning mountain views. There is definitely something magical about the misty afternoon clouds rolling through the trees, even if it comes with a classic cloud forest rainstorm! We love that you embraced the weather and turned it into a wet, memorable adventure. Thank you as well for passing along those great tips for future visitors regarding footwear, rain gear, and the terrain. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for another trek through the treetops in the future!
Overall, it was great. The only thing that could’ve made it better was some signage or information along the path just pointing out points of interest or giving knowledge. Also, we would’ve liked to have gone to the butterfly observatory, but we couldn’t wait for the next guided tour. Would have been nice to see the butterflies without having it be guided.
Thank you so much for your review! We are glad to hear that overall you had a great experience with us. We really appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the need for more signage or educational information along the paths to highlight points of interest. We also take note of your comment about the butterfly observatory, as we understand it would be convenient to have a self guided option for visitors with tighter schedules. Your suggestions are incredibly valuable to us as we continuously look for ways to improve our visitor experience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future to see these enhancements in place.
Such a beautiful park and in my opinion nice than the Monteverde cloud forest. This is due to the fact that you are in the canopy so much more since they have so many bridges. I would definitely recommend the early morning since it’s quieter and the mist is moving through the trees. We lucked out and saw a howler monkey.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We are absolutely thrilled that you loved our hanging bridges and enjoyed being right in the canopy, especially during that magical, misty early morning. Seeing a howler monkey was the perfect touch to your experience! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another peaceful walk among the trees.
A wonderful experience. We went for the photography and we were thrilled with the whole experience - including a rather closer than expected encounter with a (thankfully calm) howler monkey. Utterly unforgettable.
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your photography visit was a complete success and that you captured some truly unforgettable memories. Spotting wildlife is always a highlight, but having that up-close, calm encounter with a howler monkey sounds like an absolute dream for any photographer! It is moments like those that make the cloud forest so incredibly magical. Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more spectacular views and unforgettable nature encounters!
We did the silver tour, hanging bridges and sloth tour. The bridges were super cool. Even saw a monkey sitting on one of them! The guided sloth tour was great! Except all the sloths were sleeping 😂. Only negative is when the tour ended, due to our timing, we had to wait a long time to catch the shuttle back as they stop running them in the middle of the day. Which forces you to eat lunch there which was extremely pricey.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We are absolutely delighted that you found our hanging bridges super cool and that you were lucky enough to spot a monkey relaxing right on one of them. It is also wonderful to know you enjoyed the guided sloth tour. Our sloths love their rest, so seeing them fast asleep is definitely a true glimpse into their natural daily routine! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the shuttle schedule gap and our restaurant prices. We understand how waiting during the midday break can be frustrating, and your comments are incredibly valuable as we look for ways to optimize our transportation timing and improve our dining value for our guests. Thank you again for choosing Selvatura Park, and we hope the memories of your cloud forest adventure stay with you for a lifetime.
The receptionist was super friendly; even though we arrived an hour early, we were allowed to start our self-guided tour right away. For us, it was a wonderful experience, especially for me, as someone with a fear of heights, who was able to enjoy the amazing view after the fourth bridge. The bridges are safe—just gather your courage if it sways a bit.
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung und das Teilen Ihrer Erfahrung mit uns! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass unser Empfangsteam so flexibel war und Sie Ihre selbstgeführte Tour direkt nach der Ankunft starten konnten. Ein besonderes Lob geht an Ihren Mut! Es ist eine großartige Leistung, dass Sie Ihre Höhenangst überwinden und ab der vierten Brücke die atemberaubende Aussicht über den Nebelwald genießen konnten. Unsere Brücken sind in der Tat nach den höchsten Sicherheitsstandards gebaut, auch wenn ein kleines Schwanken natürlich zur Natur des Abenteuers dazugehört. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie ein unvergessliches Erlebnis in luftiger Höhe bei uns hatten, und hoffen, Sie bald wieder im Selvatura Park begrüßen zu dürfen.
