This excursion will allow you to experience Selvatura Park from a unique perspective, with time to explore the varied flora and fauna of this cloudforest conservation project.
Your guide will show you around the park where you will have the opportunity to undertake a canopy tour traversing cables and zip-lines through the cloudforest. The canopy tour consists of 15 cables and 18 platforms and takes approximately two and a half hours. You will be zipped through each of the cables while attached to safety harnesses and climbing gear. This is a thrilling way to experience the canopy offering incredible views and the chance to be at one with nature.
There will also be the opportunity to view the cloudforest from the treetop walkways with the advantage of being able to take your time to observe each of the forest levels. The walkways are 1.9 miles long and vary between 55 and 200 metres in height.
