Questions about the tour
Back to FAQ | Back to Top
What is the difference between the Canopy Expedition and the Extreme Canopy Expedition?
The Extreme Canopy Expedition is basically “higher, faster and longer.” In other words it is the same as the Canopy Expedition except the zip lines are higher (by about 15 feet) which means they drop faster, so they must be longer. Which tour to take? It is your decision. If you are very adventuresome you may prefer the Extreme Canopy Expedition for the added “adrenaline rush”. If you are curious what a zip line tour is all about then the Canopy Expedition may be right for you.
The other difference is that the cenote – or sinkhole, that each tour goes to is different. Cenotes are all very individual and unique. Both cenotes are excellent and you will enjoy them both for swimming and just viewing.
What should I bring on the tour?
Light clothing is recommended. Also bring sunglasses and your bathing suit for your swim in the cenote and a towel if you want too.
How high are the zip lines on this tour?
The zip lines on this tour are about 49 feet or 15 meters above the ground.
Please remember that as you zip along you will get lower to the ground as you are gravity driven.
What is the maximum weight to do the Zip line?
The maximum weight limit for the Zip lines is 150 kilos or 330 pounds. (See Size limits below.)
What is the maximum size limit to do the Zip lines?

Children must be 8 to go alone and un-accompanied by a guide.
Do I need extra cash?
You only need extra cash for extra refreshments and souvenirs.
How many guides are there?
Every tour departs with two guides. One in front of the group and one at the tail end of the group. On groups of 14 or more there are 3 guides for the security and comfort of the clients.
Is there food?

How high are the zip lines above the jungle floor?
You will be on the zip lines approximately 15 to 20 feet (5 to 7 meters) above the jungle floor.
Will we see wild animals?
Yes with luck you will see jungle birds including parrots, spider monkeys, white tailed deer and other local jungle animals.
Must I ride the mountain bikes?
If you have no interest in the mountain bikes which you will ride over flat terrain, as the entire Yucatan peninsula is flat, then you will transported to the next activity in a vehicle.
Also parents with small children may desire to travel by vehicle and not on the mountain bikes.
What is the terrain like where we ride the bikes?
The entire Yucatan peninsula is flat and you will not be experiencing any mountains.
You will generally be on roads and on some paths but conditions will generally be good. Have no fear if you not an experienced mountain biker or if you have not ridden a bike in a number of years.
Can I read review about the tour on Trip Advisor?
The Selvatica’s Extreme Canopy Adventure is the number 2 rated tour on Trip Advisor for the Cancun area. To read about it go toe www.tripadvisor.com and then in the search box type in Selvatica. There you will be able to read some of the Recent reviews about the Selvatica’s Extreme Canopy Adventure and Adventure Tour.
Are the Zip lines safe?
The zip lines are extremely safe as all the equipment and the zip lines themselves are designed to carry several times the weight they actually carry.
Is the area where the Selvatica park is located safe?
The journey through the Mexican Yucatan Jungle to get to the Selvatica Park is quite safe as you will travel on main roads except for the last 2 miles.
You must remember that we pick you up at your hotel outside the lobby – transport you to the park, which is totally private, then transport you back to the lobby of your hotel. You are never left alone or are you placed in harms way.
