Highly recommend the waterfall repelling. - What a fun and exhilarating experience. The tour guides were friendly and funny. They made the group feel comfortable. Started off with a small snack/meal, which ended up helping for the excursion. The repelling was great but challenging. The zip line and jumping from cliff was a bonus. It was also exhausting because of the hike back to the 4WD trucks but manageable. Thank you for an awesome experience! Highly recommend!

Fantastic adventure canyoning - We had a great time canyoning. Lomar and Luis were fantastic guides, both keeping us safe and laughing throughout. Zip line, rappel, and water jumps. We had a blast! They have a great relationship with the neighboring land owners and do their best to keep nature at its best. The local meal with delicious.

Full day of adventure in half a day - The guides were very competent and entertaining. We had no rappelling experience and we were able to do it all with their instruction. The combination of rappelling, zip lining, and cliff jumping made it a great adventure. It was only a half day but felt like a full day adventure. Would definitely do it again with this company!

Fabulous-do not miss! - Our guides Loman & Joaquin were the absolute best. We were picked up at the meet point right on time and taken to base camp to enjoy the best homemade breakfast and coffee we had the whole trip. Then we rode in the upscale truck back (just recently built by our very own guides!) with beautiful views and nature to the to top to gear up. Two great ziplines to the river, then walking along the clearest, freshest river to the repel. The waterfall was in 'dry' season, but just the perfect amount of challenging and fun. The guides were also willing to take so many fabulous pictures of our experience. I cannot recommend this excursion enough. Some of the best money we have ever spent.

Amazing Experience - Joaquin and Luis were great guides to have - super fun and relaxed but also very knowledgeable and made us feel very safe, as they had each been doing this for many years. They had such a nice balance of joking around, sharing stories, learning about us, and making sure we felt comfortable with the skills needed to repel/zip line safely. We weren’t quite sure how intense/immersive the experience would be but the repelling was cut into four parts down a big waterfall and for having never done something like that they gave us tips along the way that helped us gain confidence very quickly.

Incredible experience, amazing staff. - I contacted the manager, Joe, who was very responsive when helping me book the tour. The guides picked us up promptly at the set time. Wilson and Joaquin were very knowledgeable about all manner of local animals and plants, and highly focused on safety. They made us all very secure and enabled a really fun day all around. Cannot recommend more highly.

A tough but fun time - totally worth it - Unbelievable experience. It was just me and my 8-year-old son on my 41st birthday. Winston picked us up from our hotel right on time and drove us safely to base camp, pointing out sites along the way. At base camp we had a great meal of eggs, rice and beans, and plantains. The food was fantastic- and our new puppy friends enjoyed our scraps. We picked up our second guide, Lomar, and went off into the jungle. Winston and Lomar were so accommodating, and funny! We were all laughing throughout the tour, but they never took shortcuts with our safety. They’re knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation, and gave us the right balance of adventure and learning. This tour is not for the faint of heart. The cliff jumping is scary - but worth it - and the repelling is HARD - but also very worth it. It’s worth noting my son wasn’t big enough to do everything because of the waterfall pressure, but Winston and Lomar made sure he could participate as much as possible and didn’t feel left out. Last but not least, because it was my birthday they stopped at a bar for a celebratory shot and a beer on our way back to the hotel. I wasn’t expecting that and it was so cool of them to do that.

You must try this! - Experience of a lifetime! Lomar and Vince made us feel comfortable and were great guides. Lomar was very patient and helped my wife navigate the hike in wet conditions. Both guides are quite funny as well. I have never rappelled but the guides gave wonderful lessons and I was quickly comfortable descending thru the waterfall. Unforgettable experience, best experience in Costa Rica

Experience of a Lifetime - This far exceeded my expectations! We were picked up in Jaco and travelled to basecamp for a delicious home cooked breakfast and some puppy dog snuggles. After that, we travelled further up the mountain, with Lomar and Wilson, honestly the best guides we could have asked for. My 16 year old daughter and I had zero experience rappeling, I never felt uneasy or worried. Lomar and Wilson provided detailed and concise training, and ongoing feedback throughout each waterfall. Lomar also provided additional information on the surrounding area, wildlife and plants which I definitely appreciated. After the 4th and final waterfall, we hiked straight up out of the area back to the car. It was apparent that Lomar and Wilson love their jobs, and this made the whole experience one of my favorites throughout our week in Costa Rica. My daughter and I both wore swimsuits under exercise clothes that would dry quickly. I had a pair of trail shoes and she wore tennis shoes. I would recommend wearing a good pair of shoes, rather than water shoes or flip flops due to the amount of hiking throughout. We purchased waterproof cell phone cases from Amazon and those worked perfect to protect them throughout the trip.
