Selvatura Park Hanging Bridge Tour in Monteverde was excellent mostly because we spent an additional $35 pp and went with a guide. Small group of 11 people allowed for plenty of space. We saw incredible wildlife, most of which we would not have seen without the guide. Edwardo was our guide & was excellent. Highly recommend. .

We arrived just before 11 and it was very busy but the staff got us sorted very quickly. It started raining as we started the hanging bridge and maybe that was the reason we didn’t spot any animals. Disappointing
Valery_H, Nov 2025
The view is beautiful but for my taste it was not worth the money, maybe if you do the walk with a guide it is beter. I didn’t see any animals and for me the walk was really easy. I would like a little more adventure. In the end i’m happy to spend my money to support the protection of forrest.

Selvatura Park was one of the highlights of my trip. The hanging bridges were absolutely stunning, peaceful, surreal, and perfect for slowing down and taking it all in. The views, the mist, the feeling of walking above the trees… unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Casey_P, May 2025
Beautiful views and moderately challenging hike. Unfortunately we didn’t really see any wild life but the lush vegetation and views were well worth it.
TraceyJane_W, Feb 2025
A very relaxing walk , to be so high above the canopy was special ! we didn’t see any birds or animals yet it was still a nice walk especially as my friend is not so good on her legs it was perfect!
Hannah_K, Jan 2024
This walk allowed us to see the park at our own pace. It is very beautiful and easy to walk through. Also, not many people take this self-guided walk. The “tour” in the name is misleading though, as it sounds like a guided tour instead of a walk.
MaryEllen_T, Jan 2024
You are immersed in a dense forest. Cool flora and fauna, not many birds. We didn't see much wild life. I was expecting monkeys, frogs, and maybe a sloth spotting. A very commercial space
Frederic_P, Jul 2023
We did pay for a english tours but we did not had guild.
It seem it do happening very often on this site.
Sandra_P, Feb 2023
The hanging bridges are a great way to see the cloud forest from above. They did not sway a lot so they felt safe. There is some relatively easy hiking from bridge to bridge.
John_D, Feb 2023
We went self guided. If we were to do it again we would get a guide. It is beautiful. The bridges aren’t true swinging hanging bridges. They are suspension bridges which are more stable.
michael_m, Dec 2022
This was a great tour. Really worth while. It’s a self guided tour. But you do get picked up from your hotel and dropped back to your hotel after the tour.
Katherine_F, Jul 2022
The desicrption states tour but it is self guided but was really nice. Just wish it was clearer in the description

It was raining really hard, but we still loved it. Bring or buy a rain poncho if it’s raining down at the main office. It was raining a lot harder as we proceeded up the trail. It was a magical experience to be that high up in the forest. And we spotted and observed a pair of quetzals from one of the higher bridges. They were flying around trees right next to the trail.
Just amazing.
Cecile_U, Mar 2022
Great views! The place is amazing and we enjoyed it a lot.
Good trip for familias, couples or travelling by yourself.
Parker_G, Mar 2022
WOW - the jungle is absolutely stunning. We did not see very many animals, but the jungle was more beautiful than the one in La Fortuna. And the bridges here are very safe and do not sway very much. Felt very secure. Probably took us about an hour and a half to walk through, stop and admire.
Ricci_G, Feb 2022
This is the oldest hanging bridge park in Costa Rica and I would say the most beautiful and diverse. The bridges are held in place with cables, but the they are engineered not to sway which made it easy to feel save while taking pictures. We heard more birds than we saw, but the walk was delightful and reminded us of our prehistoric world.
Thomas_A, Jul 2019
Sights were beautiful and it was fun being up that high in the trees and looking at everything. I was disappointed that we did not get to see any animals. There were a few birds and centipedes but nothing else and we went in the morning as we were told that is when everything is active. Still a great view just disappointed not seeing animals of any kind.

You get to guide yourself on this tour and go at your own pace. This is a great spot for photos but I recommend getting a paid driver or shuttle. The road up is dirt with many potholes and no railing by the cliff side. The drive is intense but the park is very nice. Try to eat somewhere along the way as the restaurant onsite is VERY expensive!
Camille L, Feb 2018
Another great costa rican experience, with a great guide !
I would certainly recommand this activity for people or families with young children who enjoy to learn more about the country's animals and vegetation, and who can appreciate an easy and peaceful walk in the canopy !
Deborah K, Feb 2018
This was a great experience for us. The views from these bridges are incredible. However, you have to be prepared for rain. Rain. Every. Day.

Thank you for sharing your experience at Selvatura Park Monteverde. We’re glad you enjoyed the calm, dense forest and the hanging bridges.
We hope that on a future visit you might spot some of the amazing wildlife that calls the cloud forest home!

Det var smukt og fint at gå på broerne, men prisen er meget høj taget det hele i betragtning. Tager 1 time til 1,5 at gå.
Fernando_B, Aug 2023
Un paseo maravilloso por el bosque nuboso. No esperen ver animales, ya que no se ven como en otras partes de Costa Rica, pero si una increíble diversidad de vegetación. El paseo es maravilloso y de puede hacer tanto con guía como sin el, quizás sea de las pocas actividades que se puedan hacer solo y resulten igual o incluso mejor.
Sergi_J, Aug 2023
Excursión un poco cara para lo que es. Hay 8 puentes y el recorrido dura 1 hora y media. Puedes sacar directamente las entradas en selvatura a mejor precio.

Parcours sympathique tranquille à faire mais c est une activité qui reste très chère comme malheureusement toutes les activités au Costa Rica
