Great tour!
We really enjoyed it. Our guide was super excited to find animals for us which we appreciated so much!! We saw spiders, small frog (how he found I have no idea!), various toucan, scorpion with babies on its back, “Martha” the tarantula, monkey, an animal similar to an opossum, two types of birds and near the end we quickly saw an Amarillo. Great tour- very fun to be in the forest at night! Great tour!

Wonderful Family Experience
My family had a wonderful morning with Dennis exploring the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Dennis is incredibly personable and took the time to get to know everyone in the group, ensuring a personalized experience. Animals move quickly and he did an amazing job tracking wildlife and quickly setting up the telescope and taking photos so that everyone had a chance to see. Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable and we had a great time learning about the Cloud Forest’s plants and animals. Absolutely recommend!

Junior is a genius coffee...
Junior is a genius coffee and wildlife expert. My girlfriend and I had the best time. I didn’t realize the coffee tour was included so that was a nice surprise. We learned so much about coffee and saw so many animals during the night tour including an armadillo, viper, some sleeping birds/turkeys and frogs. Lots of fun bugs too like the scorpions. 10/10 recommended

Johnny B. Goode, Johnny be very good
You go into a wildlife tour knowing you may not see much wildlife, however Johnny the guide has incredible ears and eyes and is able to find a huge variety of interesting flora and fauna. Even if I'd stood looking for a year I wouldn't have found some of the insect's, frogs, tarantulas, snakes, scorpions and birds he identified. And a sloth! All this while being an engaging guide who keep the whole group interested. Also it was lovely to learn about life in Monteverde and local culture. I was little nervous about waking around the forest in the dark, but Johnny made us feel safe and comfortable.

Great interactive experience!
This was such a great way to learn about the history and botanical elements of each product and it’s always a plus to get to have snacks too! The tour focuses more on chocolate from what we experienced, so if you love chocolate and want to learn more about it, this is a great option! The pressed sugarcane was really cool to try and seeing the full process of coffee was also great! You will check in at the office right off the main road, get a colored wristband, and then get back in your car and drive further down the road to the start of the tour. There was ample parking and it felt secure and safe. You will join the group with your same colored wristband and off you go! If you get there early or have time after, there is a souvenir shop with a variety of products including chocolate and coffee from the farm. It was a great afternoon activity!

Monteverde Preserve tour
Our guide, Roy , was very knowledgeable. We got awesome pics of many different birds and lots of interesting information about the forest plant life and history. He was so patient with us giving plenty of time for photos. Would definitely recommend him for a good tour!

Passionate guide and great tour
Juan Carlos is a dedicated guide! You can't control nature and which animals you'll come across but he does his best to make sure his group is able to see as much as possible. He's knowledgeable, patient and very passionate. Highly recommend his tour!

Great hike, great guide
We loved our hike through the cloud forest. Jean Carlo was a great guide with information about many different tree, shrubs, flowering plants, birds and the cloud forest. The hike was about three miles through all terrains and the hanging bridges were so much fun and the waterfalls were spectacular. We finished the day with a delicious lunch in the main building. We highly recommend this hike and Jean Carlo as your guide.

Amazing experience. We...
Amazing experience. We learned how coffee is harvested and roasted. We also learned how to make chocolate with lots of sampling. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable. The night walk was an excellent way to end the experience. We saw a birds and frogs! A beautiful place for a walk.

100% Worth Every Penny!
The Selvatura Park Canopy Tour was seriously a rush! We’ve done a lot of research on different zip-lining parks, and this one stood out for a reason. Some of the lines were incredibly long, fast, and high, giving you that perfect mix of adrenaline and pure awe as you glide over the cloud forest.
Every moment felt safe, organized, and so much fun. And honestly? Totally worth the money. The length of the lines, the views, the speed, and the overall experience make it absolutely unforgettable.
If you’re in Costa Rica and want a thrill that you’ll be talking about for years, this is the zip line tour to choose.

MUST do! Our favorite part of the trip!!
Our ziplining and Tarzan swing experience at Extremo Park was absolutely incredible! The morning was packed with adrenaline, unbelievable views, and so much fun. The ziplines are long, fast, and give you the most breathtaking perspective of the Monteverde cloud forest. Flying over the treetops felt like something out of a movie.
The highlight was definitely the Tarzan swing—terrifying for a split second and then the biggest rush ever. The guides were amazing too: super friendly, funny, and made us feel safe and confident the entire time.
If you’re coming to Monteverde, this is a must-do adventure. Worth every second!

Would definitely go again
We visited Selvatura after having already been to Curi-Cancha and Cloud Rainforest. We enjoyed the walk through Selvatura more than the other two. Our guide, Jainner, was great and spoke excellent English. The zip lines were a lot of fun and offered a great aerial view of the forest. The last zip line is 1km long!
