Sky Walk From Monteverde

Hanging Bridges at Selvatura Park in Monteverde

I completed the hanging bridges skywalk in Selvatura Park in Monteverde, Costa Rico. It was a very nice experience. It was raining the entire time, but that didn't put a damper on my self-guided tour. The tour included round trip transfers from my hotel + entrance fee for the skywalk. It was a total of $55. I completed the tour in 2 hours. Although the estimated time was 1 hour. I stopped to take videos and pictures. I also took a brief rest, as there are steps getting up to the bridges, and lots of steps coming down. I highly recommend this experience.

A Great Experience

I was a bit nervous about this tour, but it was great. The bridges only occasionally sway a little. There are some slight uphills on the walk. Our guide, Alex, was very informative, pointing out various things as we walked. There are other things you can do at the park and there is a gift shop

Hummingbird and Butterfly heaven

The guide was excellent, very passionate and clear on his explanations. We went back into the park afterwards and saw hummingbirds and many different butterflies on one of the bridges. The guide had to,d us where to stop and look which was invaluable.

Amazing guided tour of a unique ecosystem

We were so happy to have Dennis as a tour guide on this tour. His excitement about every plant and insect, his respect for his environment and his wonder at and skill at explaining the delicate balance of of the birds, plants, mammals,arachnids and insects was contagious. We saw ( and he showed us with his scope and photographed for us) so many fascinating animals and trees. He was patient and supportive of one of our group who was nervous of heights. Can’t wait to go back again! It was a highlight!

Face to face with the roof of the rainforest

This walk from Sky Adventures brings you face to face with the upper level of the Monteverde rainforest canopy. It consists of six hanging bridges in total, the longest of which spans 236 meter (at 50m height). The trail is approx. 2.5 km and is not strenuous or muddy (quite some concrete was dumped on the path), thus making it feasible for anyone in moderate condition. Local guides accompany each tour to help spotting the animals and give information on the different native plant and animal species. We had a good, funny and knowledgeable guide and saw quite some animals (green viper, tarantula, quetzal, hummingbird, coati). For that price though, the tour could have been a bit longer (it was now exactly 1u20, passing bridges 6-4-3-5).

Skywalk is a great tour and worth it for the excellent guides and experience.

We had a wonderful time on the walking tour our guide Dennis was great he has tons of knowledge and was very entertaining.

Great

We loved the skywalk, Dennis was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and fun. I would recommend this tour.

Very nice tour

The tour was great! The skywalk we did with the guide was super nice - breath-taking views :) I would do it again!

Fun and educational experience in the cloud forest.

Enjoyed our hike through the canopy. That perspective of the cloud forest was amazing. Our guide Danny was super knowledgeable and added value to our experience. He not only pointed out unique features, plants, and animals in the rain forest, he also took time to provide background and context that we really appreciated.

Unforgettable experience

Roy was most knowledgeable and experienced in how to spot wildlife and inform about plants. Also really quiet as the Zipline is some distance away and doesn’t disturb the atmosphere. Strongly recommend using SkyWalk and acquiring a guide in

Don't let fear stop you

I felt my anxiety rise because I'm afraid of heights and wasn't sure I could do it. It was my 60th birthday so I made myself take the chance and I'm so glad I did. Elvis was a great guide and pointed out trees, plants, and wildlife in between bridge crossings. The hike was easy and the bridges were not as long and scary as I imagined (only one long one). Most bridges have tree tops next to them shielding the depth to the forest floor. In areas open from treetops, I was able to look straight ahead and make it through before my fear got the best of me. The bridges are all very similar. They do have movement, but they felt stable and predictable and you can hold on to both sides of the railings as you walk. Don't let your fear stop you from trying this incredible experience (Do it early in the day if it's the rainy season). You also have the option of walking the hiking paths and bridges at your own pace without a tour (about a one-and-a-half-hour hike). Paths are well marked so you can't get lost. I'd recommend the guided tour to get the most out of it.

Unmissable wildlife-watching experience

Can’t rate this highly enough! Our guide Chris was so knowledgable and showed us things like tarantulas in their hidey-holes that we would never have seen by ourselves. The highlight was meeting a whole troop of Howler Monkeys on one of the bridges and just hanging out with them only inches away; including some babies. Had a drink in the cafe after which was reasonable (hot chocolate had sort of cocoa pops on top? Which was unusual but yummy!)

Great way to spend time in the canopy, a little gem on the continental divide of Costa Rica

Sky tour company has their own little area with 3 major things: hanging bridges, sky tram, and Zipline. This tour was just hanging bridges, and it was great. Elvis was our guide, and he was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour was set at a good pace, and if you wanted, you could go back on the trails after the tour and spend as much time as you want on the bridges and paths. The bridges had some sway to them, but they felt secure. If you want to take photos, it's recommended that you have a strap of sorts to prevent your camera from falling. We saw many birds, tarantulas in their holes, and signs of other nocturnal animals. We got transportation from our hotel, and they have transportation back to your hotel leaving every hour so you could spend as much time as you'd like there. In the morning, it was sunny, but later it was misty and cloudy. Both were great experiences!

A good way to see the forest from up high and spot animals

The Sky Walk is a combination of trails that link 6 suspension bridges that take you above the forest canopy. We got a good view of the hills and trees below, and a chance to spot birds and animals. We were very lucky during our visit that there was a black speckled palm pit viper visible from Bridge 2. Our guide Dennis was enthusiastic but somewhat rushed (not his fault, this was because some of the people in our group had a zipline appointment at 12). The front desk personnel were also friendly and very helpful. The Sky Walk trails and bridges are located in a separate area of the park, away from the noisy ziplines. So the quiet location meant a chance to spot more wildlife.

Excelente y segura forma de vivir aventura en el bosque lluvioso! Exc /safe way to live a cloud forest adventure!

Una manera muy segura y cercana de conocer el bosque lluvioso de monte verde PRECIOSO!!!!! Nos tocó la suerte de ver monos aulladores en el punte y vivir la experiencia de su comportamiento en su habitat.. el hiking no es tan pesado pero si immersivo, me pareció una gran oportunidad de vivir una aventura natural con toda la seguridad, además de que Denis nuestro guía es un EXPERTO en lo que hace y ama su trabajo y sobre todo su ecosistema. GRACIAS! A very safe and near experience with de cloud forest of Monteverde!! BREATHTAKING! We had very good luck and were able to see hawling monkeys up close on the bridge beside us, and hear them hawl in their natural habitat... Hiking trail is very easy to do (I have hip prostetic and could do it), its a great and safe oportunity to live an adventure un the wild but with all precautions Denis our guide was amazing, he loves his job and knows all about the surroindings but what he loves most is his forest and that is very inspiring.... THANK YOU SKY ADVENTURES!

Great activity!

We did Sky Walk, Sky Tram and Sky Trek (ziplining) with Sky Adventures. Was an easy way to combine several activities at one location. All 3 were great (the Tram ride is, well, just a tram ride but was fun as we were in the clouds at times and also with clear views at times). Guides were great and very informative. We ate lunch at the cafe between activities and the food was really good with a good selection. Had a great day and would definitely recommend Sky Adventures to others.

Können wir nicht empfehlen

Preis Leistung stimmt leider gar nicht. Wir haben 75 Dollar für 1,5 Stunden Rundgang gezahlt. Wir haben kein Tier gesehen, aber die kleinste Orchidee der Welt. Würden wir nicht empfehlen.

Wir würden es nicht empfehlen

Für 1,5 Std Tour viel zu teuer. Zusätzlich hatten wir auch Pech mit unserem Guide, der wenig erklärt hat. Das hat sich nicht gelohnt.

À voir absolument

Notre guide était très gentil. Très bonne prise en charge. À voir absolument. Nous avons eu par chance une très belle température.

Empezamos tarde y mal

Nuestro guía no apareció, nos tuvieron 45 minutos esperando y nos asignaron otro guía que estuvo con nosotras 1 h y 15 minutos, enseñandonos solo 3 puentes. Mientras que nosotras habíamos contratado un tour con guía de 2,5 h. El recorrido eran 6 puentes, que hicimos por nuestra cuenta.

Great experience - great price

I was there in the morning from about 9 to 11 a.m. It was a really cool experience to walk across the suspension bridges. I saw a beautiful landscape and some birds. I didn't think $38 was particularly cheap for admission without a guide. But I would do it again! Simply a cool experience.

Expérience exaltante

Très belle ballade au dessus de la canopée avec la traversée de 6 ponts, dont le premier est le plus long, près de 400 mètres. Assez stable. C'était ma première fois et j'appréhendais un peu car j'ai le vertige. Mais après le passage du premier pont, je me suis décontractée et j'ai apprécié l'expérience qui sera inoubliable et restera gravée dans ma mémoire. Je ne regrette rien !

Excelente exper!!

El guía fue muy bueno y amable. Tenía mucho conocimiento acerca de la fauna y flora del lugar. Se tomo todo el tiempo para explicarnos y mostrarnos.

Tolle Tour, kompetente Führung, top

Die Tour kann einfach online gebucht werden und ist gut organisiert. Es gibt die Möglichkeit mittels Shuttle zum Eventpunkt zu gelangen oder auch selber mit dem Auto, zu beachten ist dass die Strassen nicht sonderlich gut sind. Die Führerin, die wir hatten, war sehr aufgestellt und wusste sehr viel zu erzählen. Das war äusserst interessant und toll. Wir genossen den Rundgang und auch die Übergänge über die verschiedenen Hängebrücken. Die Wege sind sauber und der Rundgang gut gepflegt. Die Tour ist alles in allem zu empfehlen.

风景美好

很美好的风景。山路有点陡，但是很值得。远眺火山，进出可以看到各种小动物。还是值得一去。略微需要体力，老年人或者是右边的孩子可能会有点累，不过三小时左右的路程一般成年人或者青少年完全没问题
