Desafio Mambo Combo delivered! - Superb experience! The guides were fun, and were patient with my wife on the tall waterfalls, who is scared of heights. Our river guide, Jorge, was an absolute pleasure to talk with about the forest, sustainability, and Costa Rican culture. The whole experience felt incredibly well run, and was at the right pace to take in an incredibly beautiful area. 10/10 would book again

This was an amazing day! - Great experience! Highly recommend. Everyone was so kind and helpful especially when our 11 year old son was very nervous to repel. They were patient and helped him feel safe. He did it! We had the best day!

Wet and Wild!! - We had an incredible morning canyoning! The guides were fantastic and made sure everyone was safe! We got a breakfast burrito on our way to rafting, which was another incredible experience! Be prepared to get wet and stay wet! Closed toed water shoes are a must! We could purchase photos and video after for both activities too! It ended with an excellent lunch! Highly recommend! Pura vida!

10/10 - The repelling down waterfalls was a BLAST! I’m highly afraid of heights but once I did the first one the rest was good! lol I wore short shorts I would recommend wearing longer shorts as the equipment gave me chub rub! Also I would wear sneakers rather than water shoes it was hella hiking! The rafting was fun too (our guide was lit) and they fed us fruit, but I enjoyed the repelling most! Our group consist of 21+ we had a ball! I did this for my 30th birthday!

Fantastic experience! - This was the hight of our trip! The rappelling and canyoning was super cool, and the rafting was so much fun. Our guides were great at giving instruction, and we felt safe at every point-egen hanging above a waterfall! The pictures available for purchase were great so we didn't have to worry about taking our own. We saw monkeys and two sloths! We wore our waterproof hiking boots, or I'd recommend sturdy water shoes as the rocks in the canyons are slippery. There is also 10-15 minutes of stairs at the end of the canyoning part.

The food was great we got a burrito after canyoning and then a lunch after whitewater rafting. This was totally worth the price! And would highly recommend doing the combo day!

Amazing 5-Star Experience!! - AMAZING!! This was an absolutely incredible experience, with special thanks to our wonderful guide (Alejandro). Safe for all ages, our 10 year old had a blast.

The best! - So much fun! The guides were fantastic! Made. Felt like they prioritized safety so I could just focus on having fun. Amazing rappelling down waterfalls, with a little zipline action. Was running out of energy but got a breakfast burrito to fuel me for the rafting. That was just as amazing. The most enjoyable part of my whole vacation. 10/10!

Perfect way to start our trip! - Simply put…Amazing. All our guides were kind, energetic and made you feel comfortable and safe. We started the day with rappelling. They show you how to do it before you go out, my wife and I have done it before, but it was good to get a refresher. We were held down for separate waterfalls with a short track through the river between stops. There were several opportunities for pictures with the guides pointing out interesting wildlife, and talking about the beauty of Costa Rica along the way. Then we headed to a different location 40 minutes away to wrap. My wife was very nervous as she has not done this before, I had done it once again our guide guides, Jorge specifically, made it feel totally safe and comfortable. It was so exciting. We hit rapids right away got stuck a couple of times because of the low water, but that was OK. He got us going again and kayaks in front of us guided us along making sure we had exciting times but we’re also safe. One of the photographers in a kayak took several great pictures and a couple of videos that they can sell to you for just $20. We normally don’t purchase things like this, but he went above and beyond to get them and they were really good so we bought them. All in all this trip was five stars, exhilarating, and exciting and a great way to see the beautiful country of Costa Rica and learn about it from the locals to make their living doing these guys, we recommended it to several different people at our hotel when we got back. Would definitely do this again!
