Unforgettable experience!! - The guides, Wilson and Lamelo (i hope i got his name right) were unbelievable! Fun, happy, joyful and provided amazing customer service. They made our kids comfortable with the experience, even though it was a challenging experience, they kept an upbeat attitude. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great Experience for family. - Great experience for entire family. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was great having a staff member that lived and knew that specific area.

Can't do this everywhere! - Crazy fun, awesome activity, but not for the faint of heart. Attention to safety was very good, but I wouldn't have minded a secondary attachment while rappelling.

Best activity ever! - This was my 3rd time to do this activity and it never disappoints. It’s an amazing adventure complete with awesome guides who make it fun while keeping the safety of everyone at the forefront. From the meal they prepare for you, to zip lining, to jumping into a swimming hole, to waterfall rappelling, to the hike out, you will have the best time. If you are looking for an exciting adventure in the Costa Rican jungle then this is for you!

Canyoning Tour - One of best experiences of my life! - The highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!!! The description looked fun but not sure what we were getting into. Wilson and Joaquin were our guides and they were amazing. They were engaging, patient and fun. We zip lined, jumped into the natural pool and repelled down waterfalls. What an absolutely great experience!

Real costa rican experience - This was an amazing experience. We had a small group and our guides were amazing. You start at a woman's house for a homemade lunch. Then you load up in a truck and drive to the start. You'll do 2 ziplines, then a practice repel. Even if you have no knowledge, they tell you everything you need to know. After the practice rapel, you'll do some cliff jumping, and again the guides are right there. After the jump (you can do 12 foot or 30 foot) you walk down to the next area to begin your repelling down two waterfalls. Along the way, our guides would stop and teach us about the fauna and animals. They even showed us a berry that serves as a natural mosquito family, and they helped teach us some Spanish. After the last waterfall you then climb and hike back to the top. I will say you need to be a little in shape as the climb back up is a little tough, but my 15 and 12 year old daughters did it no issue. I struggled a little but this is truly a great way to see true costa rica

Canyoneering down a private waterfall!!! A must do in Costa Rica!!! - Lomar and Joaquin made this adventure truly the highlight of our entire trip. It ended up being just my husband and me, which made it a bit more terrifying for me, but they both put me at ease and kept me laughing along the way. I am not that adventurous, but I really wanted to try this, and I am so glad we did. Lomar took the lead, and Joaquin recorded our entire trip. They even managed to convince me to do the 12-foot jump into the waterfall (as long as they tied a line around me - to fish me out), which is not something I would ever do, since I really don't know how to swim that well. The food was amazing and a perfect small meal to help fuel us before our descent down the waterfalls. At one point, my husband lost his GoPro. They both went to follow his tracks to go look for it. They ended up finding it at the bottom of a small waterfall. I loved that this is a private waterfall and only accessible by this company, which made this tour even more unique. Thank you both for the wonderful memories!!! I highly recommend this to everyone who visits Costa Rica.

Great staff! Recommend for experienced rappellers! - Great experience! Lomar was our driver, speaks great English and showed us local areas of interest on our way to base camp. Had a great lunch and met the rest of the staff. They took us farther into rainforest, geared us all up and went through a safety demo. 2 zip lines, walk to the cliff diving, 1 12 ft fall and one 30 ft. Then hiked to the waterfall for rappelling. Great staff who are very helpful! Words of advise from a 50 yo average shape woman, I’m not easily intimidated and will try most things. It did not feel like it was a beginner waterfall to me. If you have done this sort of thing before. Go for it! You won’t be disappointed! Also, wear shoes with a good grip. I had on Keens and the rocks were very slick. The hike out is almost all uphill but there are ropes in most places to hold on to.
