Exciting Adventure in the Heart of Nature! - "An incredible experience from start to finish! What I loved the most about the rappelling activity was that with each descent, the excitement grew, making every stage more interesting than the last. Additionally, walking through the canyon and feeling surrounded by nature gives you the sensation of being deep in the jungle, making the adventure even more special. And as if that weren't enough, there are a couple of surprises along the way that add even more excitement. Highly recommended!"

Amazing experience, wish it was longer! - Such an unforgettable experience. When we arrived to the camp first we were sorted with equipment and then we were given a safety talk and a demo on how to rappel properly. There were 4 waterfalls to rappel, 2 very short ones and 2 longer ones. For the longer ones, you rappel only a short distance and then you Zipline backwards for the rest of it. This was fun but it was a shame not to have more time rappelling overall as we never really got a chance to have a proper go at it - you would just get the hang of it and then the distance would be over. In between the rappelling sections there was a small 2m waterfall jump and another fun waterfall activity. It was really cool to just walk through the canyons too! The rocks can be quite slippy so shoes with good grips are definitely needed. There is a 20min hike back to camp at the end up some pretty steep steps, we were grateful to have the wet clothes to keep us cool! At camp there are towels, showers and changing rooms. Lunch was delicious. There was a buffet style set up with a salad bar and also typical Costa Rican hot food with meat, rice, veg & beans. Our guides for the day really made the day for us - Onel, Ronnie, Brian, David & Dario. Special mention to Onel who was really great at calming my nervous friend, and to David who is the happiest person I think I have ever met! All the guides did such a great job at making the day a success. They were all having fun, making sure we were enjoying the activity but also checking in on us to make sure we were ok.

Unique experience! - Very cool experience! It was super fun for our family of 5 (including 16, 15, and 12 year old boys). Challenging, and unlike anything we’ve done before—but we had plenty of support for great tour guides. Lunch was very good as well.

Excellent fun!! Loved every minute! - We went as a group, there were 7 of us. We all had an excellent time. The experience was exhilarating, amazing, scary, fun and exciting. The scenery was like paradise. The guide Eric and team were simply the best and made the trip exceptionally good. They had a good sense of humour, they were patient, encouraging, and fundamentally we felt 100% safe with them. Would highly recommend and hope you get Eric and team.

Exhilerating experience! - The guides, Andreas and Brian, were very funny, personable, and encouraging. The hike through the canyon was so much fun, the rappelling was fabulous, and the free jump into the 'pool' was exhilerating. You must be fairly agile to climb down the wet canyon walls but do go. I am 66 and my daughter is 25 and we both highly recommend this adventure with this company. Pura vida! - Kathy & Jennifer

Fantastic activity for all ages - highly recommend - We absolutely loved this experience! We did four waterfalls, and a couple of other fun water adventures (I won’t spoil it), and loved every minute. The guides were great and we felt safe the whole time. We bought the photos with cash upfront, and over 150 of them received the next morning via email. We did the 10am tour and did not get a chance to eat until 1.30pm… prepare for this as we were all absolutely starving. The way out involves some steep steps so a basic level of fitness is required. Highly recommend!!

Amazing! Do it! - Arturo was a proper legend! Loved the experience. We were very lucky as it was just two of us on the tour! He was really funny and kept us constantly informed about the nature and Costa Rican history! The Canyoning was really fun. Especially the very last waterfall 😅!!! Really recommend this!

Unprofessional - This activity was promoted though G adventures and Desafio adventure company. I went with a fellow traveler in the G adventure group. The activity itself was good. The one star is due the staff losing the photos they took of us and that we paid extra for. Yes, we did get our money for the photos refunded but the explanation we received as to how they got lost was vague and unconvincing regarding efforts to recover them. The refund doesn’t really address the disappointment of not receiving the photos. The handling of this was very unprofessional. Heads up for prospective guests.
