Unbelievable Adventure ! - BEST adventure ! Rappelling and canyoning exceeded expectations. The Costa Rican shower will be never be forgotten. The hiking through the streams, around the rocks and through the forest was once in a lifetime. Rafting down the Balsa was an intense but the guide was confident and knowledgeable. Midway fruit was the best we had our whole stay. We saw TONS of wildlife and a living green wall which was breathtaking. Can’t recommend highly enough. Kids age 13 LOVED it. Don’t miss this !!!

Best part of my trip! - Loved this combo tour! The Gravity Falls tour was so much fun, a great mix of rappelling, rock climbing, and free jumps. The guides were amazing, lots of safety checks and very personable so you never got bored. Be aware there is an uphill hike out of the canyon afterwards. We did the rafting afterwards and it was also great but we were there during dry season so the river was a bit more tame than it could have been. It was still a lot of fun though and our guide knew how to push our raft into the rapids to get us soaked. He was also great at spotting wildlife from the river for us to see. The photos and videos we got from the Gravity Falls part of the tour turned out great. We used Desafio a few times and the experience was always excellent.

Worth it. Don’t think. Book - Epic. I can’t tell you exactly. I just travel a lot and have been on many tours. This one is one to remember! For instance the canyoning portion we were two of 6. Plus they are the only company that goes to gravity falls. So you won’t be watching and waiting for multiple tour groups. The rafting was a private tour since we were the only people. Other rafting tours had lots of boats and that’s miserable. The guides were fun. Felt completely safe. If you’re comparing tours and you have another favorited that’s maybe $20 or even $50 cheaper, go with this one anyway. Trust me it’s worth it!

Great fun, guides excellent in a crisis that was not of their making! - Canyoning was great as expected - experienced guides, gave you the freedom to be as adventurous as you wanted to be, always felt safe. However, I mainly came here to review Gustavo, our guide for the rafting. We were unfortunate in that, whilst we were rafting, a large tree fell down maybe 20-30m in front of us as we went down the river at speed - a few seconds later and it would have landed on our raft. Gustavo was excellent in the crisis, thinking quickly on his feet and getting everyone out of the raft safely (involving jumping from the raft and climbing on the fallen tree to an embankment). He then ran upstream, ensured no other rafts went down the same patch of river, preventing other rafts getting stuck in the tree like ours had (see picture), as well as helping other rafts and other rafting companies get down an alternate path and helping ones that got stuck on said alternate route. He and the other Disaffio guides then climbed back across the fallen tree to our trapped raft, attached ropes to it and enlisted our help pulling the rope to free it from the tree from a safe distance. This was successful, and we continued and had a great time, with Gustavo guiding our steering and getting us down quickly but safely, all the time with a big smile on his face. Really couldnt have asked for more, ended up having a fantastic time, would thoroughly recommend!

Exhilarating family adventure! - We spent 9 days in Costa Rica as a family of 4 with two teens. This was their favorite tour of all that we did. They loved the big rappel, all the cliff jumping and the rafting! The tour group did combine us with another group and shift us around a bit but it was no trouble and they made sure they got us a hot burrito in between activities to keep us going! The tour was also the most physically demanding one we did, climbing hills and rock faces was required to move forward. I would not recommend this to anyone who isn't in fair physical condition. The guides were excellent as well, for both morning and afternoon our guides were both "David" (different David's) and we really enjoined both! We did not purchase the canyoning/cliff jumping pictures but we did buy the rafting ones, the pictures were excellent with short video's of us crashing through waves.

You won’t be disappointed - Extremely fun tour, we had a great time and felt safe the whole time and the guys made sure of it. The guides were very knowledgeable and seem to really enjoy their jobs. The food after was delicious. The gravity falls was pretty physically demanding so i wouldn’t recommend for anyone with recent injuries.

MAMBO trip was PERFECT! - 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a jam packed day of adventure and smiles! We had great food twice and our guides were informative and had positive attitudes and smiles! PLEASE do this tour it is worth the $150!

Great experience - Waterfall jumping is a must do. Combi of rappelling down, climbing and jumping off a waterfall. Rafting was also super nice. Great guides, where experienced, safety first and a lot of fun. Also the lunch was good.

Gravity falls, biking and rafting. - I had a great time. The activities were all brilliant and we had a great lunch. I would deffinetly recommend it. Kevin was my leader for rafting and hiking, he was very good.

Nice Experience but... - Great adventure experience, i went to the Gravity tour, the only element that was not positive was related to the photos. They used a cellphone to take the tour photos and never sent them after paying them. I did the tour in march, and i followed up constantly for the photos but they were never shared. Do not pay for it. You will loss your money with no way to get it back. Really more than the money, the photos of the experience were what I wanted the most.
