Selvatura Zipline and Guided Hanging Bridges Combo Tour
Zipline Tour
Selvatura is a fantastic place for ziplining because the lines are elaborate and the guides are really fun and safe.
This zipline tour has 13 cables, 1 Tarzan swing, and the option for a Superman line, where you go head first, almost flying through the sky. The tour takes you through the jungle and over rivers, providing incredible views of the cloud forest and Lake Arenal.
Five of the cables are between 72 and 100 meters (236 and 328 feet) long, 6 cables are between 100 and 350 meters (328 and 1148 feet), cable number 5 measures 650 meters (2,133 feet), and the last cable is one kilometer (3,280 feet). The length variations make this tour unique because your speed changes by cable and some of the shorter lines bring you between trees, allowing you to see the forest close up.
The zipline tour takes about 1.5-2 hours.
Guided Hanging Bridges Tour
The combo tour also includes one of our favorite hanging bridges hikes in Costa Rica.
Selvatura has 8 hanging bridges ranging from 170-560 feet (51-170 meters). The main focus of the tour is enjoying the amazing panoramic views of the cloud forest canopy from above. With a little luck, you should be able to see some wildlife too. Many kinds of birds can be spotted and wildlife like bats, tarantulas, butterflies, and various kinds of lizards.
Between the bridges, you’ll pass through lush cloud forest along a fairly flat, well-maintained trail. The naturalist guide sets a comfortable pace for everyone in the group and makes stops to teach you about the cloud forest and its flora and fauna.
The hike is about 2 miles (3 km) and takes 2-2.5 hours.

Great way to spend the day. With so many ziplines, we got to explore so much of the Cloud Forest and all it’s beauty. Also the Superman is worth the add on- you fly like a bird over the park for minutes!
