Monteverde Canopy: Selvatura or Skytrek?
I'm going to be in MV in April and is wondering which canopy tour is the most fun/exciting? The Selvatura or Skytrek? I hear that the Skytrek in Arenal has zip lines that goes from canyon to canyon. Is there one like that in MV?

We did Skytrek in Monteverde. I don't think they have one in Arenal...maybe it's a different company you're thinking of.
But I HIGHLY recommend Skytrek. It was a blast!! The braking system they use makes it so easy (you don't use your hand to brake like with some other companies).
The guides were very friendly and it seemed very safe! It lasts a long time...it took about 2 and a half hours once we started and that was with a group of about 10 people. There were 11 zip lines, the longest was about 1/2 mile long and 500 feet above the ground!!
And I thought it was such a bargain!! $40 per person, but in the states something like that would easily cost well over $100!!! (Consider that one bunjee jump costs about $35 in the U.S.)
If you pay at the actual Skytrek location, they only accept cash, but if you reserve through your hotel or some other place, you can pay with credit card at no extra charge.
Hope you this helps and enjoy your trip!

Hello, we did Selvatura too and we really enjoyed them. The guides were a ton of fun.If I remember Selvatura had 15 ziplines and also cost 40.
I have never done skytrek so can't compare, but whoever you decide to go with, your gonna have a blast regardless!
