Best Experience!!! - This was an amazing experience. I loved every minute of it. The guys that run it are super awesome and friendly. We saw some dart frogs and went down some pretty cool waterfalls. I could have stayed all day at some of them. Highly recommended.

The perfect excursion for adventurers - We, as a family, 2 adults and 2 children 18 & 15 years had a great experience on the waterfall tour with Drew and Emanuel. We couldn't think of better guides. If we are in the area again, we would definitely do the tour again. The peanut balls on the tour were just delicious. We also got the recipe for it. Pictures and videos were also available. Many thanks to Drew and Emanuel.

A Must Do Activity! - What an incredible experience that far exceeded my expectations! First off the location is incredible, Uvita and just south is where the mountains meet the sea! The views on the way were surreal. Once in the canyon, what a magical experience, infused with nature in every way. No commercial theme park feel to this experience. We say monkeys, frogs, and the forest, river, and seemingly endless waterfalls were worth it just as a hike! Second, the experience and equipment was perfect. Exhilarating, but safe at all times. Nice build up starting with easier descents. Lastly, Drew, Emmanuel and their crew are top notch. Great communication before the experience. Once there, the passion and professionalism is top notch. They felt like friends and were very genuine, knowledgeable, and took the experience to a new level. This is a MUST do experience for all age groups. My friend is 71 years old and did the experience with me! If you want to connect with nature and leave feeling empowered and re-energized, this is the experience you MUST DO!

Most beautiful and fun adventure! - Our Osa Canyoning Adventure day was the highlight of our stay in Costa Rica! The 5 hours was incredibly beautiful, invigorating, fun and unforgettable!! Drew and his crew are so kind, careful and competent. They have built a magical rappelling tour through the magnificent rainforest and jungle. Though I was initially a bit fearful as I’m 66, Drew assured me I would be fine and as usual he was right! With his guidance, patience and kindness I was able to participate in this magical adventure. I am forever grateful that I did the tour with my daughter. Don’t miss this opportunity!! It’s the best! Thank you Drew!!

Great Experience! - This was truly an immersive experience! You get to see areas of the jungle you wouldn't normally get to see. Drew and Emmanuel and our other two guides were fantastic! Very patient teaching those of us who were doing this for the first time. My husband is afraid of heights and even he enjoyed this immensely. They also took great photos and videos for us! Highly recommend this adventure!

Pura vida adrenaline rush! - My new favorite activity in Costa Rica! This was such a fun and amazing adventure. You really connect with nature in this beautiful place. The guides, Drew and Emanuel were outstanding. I was worried it might be too difficult but they coach you so well that you soon get the hang of it. I will definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cool break from the high season heat. The tour lasts several hours and is thoroughly enjoyable. Each waterfall is different and we also saw some interesting wildlife: monkeys, colorful tree frogs and a blue shrimp. Prepare to get soaked and have a memorable experience.

The best canyoning in Costa Rica! - What an awesome experience. We’ve done canyoning before but this was the best. Don’t miss this tour. We were impressed by how long this experience was and how many awesome rappels there were. We’d do this same one again in a heartbeat.
