Fun and exciting! - Incredible! The last waterfall was no joke! You rappel right through to waterfall with the water coming down on you! Fortunately you start with 3 shorter waterfalls first to get the hang of it. Our 11 year old son did great and so did his 50 yr old mama😉. The guides were excellent, competent and fun. Lunch and a changing space at the house after rappelling was delicious and welcome.

Excellent adventure - Excellent experience from start to finish, they knew we wanted to find wild animals so stopped to show us 2 types of sloth and a toucan, all very magical. We can as a family with kids age 6, 13 and 14, and everyone enjoyed it. Challenging enough and also exhilarating.

PURA VIDA BABY! - From the beginning to the end, Ramon & Oso were excellent tour guides. We had SO much fun and felt extremely safe the entire time. We rappelled 4 waterfalls in total & at the end we had a beautiful breakfast waiting for us with coffee rice beans eggs cheese and plantains. We can’t thank them enough for an awesome start to our trip in Costa Rica! -La princessa guerrera

Great experience - You feel very safe, so I had no problems even with my slight fear of heights.
The breakfast at the end was also very tasty. The canyoning itself lasted an hour, possibly because we were lucky enough to only have two of us. It could have lasted longer because it was a lot of fun. Photos and videos were also taken, which we received for free.
All in all, a great experience and recommended.

Incredible jungle waterfall Excursion! - Our guides were both extremely competent and engaging. The first three waterfalls are fun, but nothing prepares you for the sheer size and force of the Infinite Waterfall! It's exhilarating, but also requires some serious tenacity. Highly recommended! Be prepared for adventure!

Incredible - Wow!! This was incredible!! The guides couldn’t have been kinder or more experienced! Ramon and Alex and the other 2 guides were amazing!! We took our family of 5: with 13 yo, 11 and 8yo. They made sure our kids felt good and were funny and joking with us. The waterfall repels got harder as we went along. The last was insane! Will never forget it. The farm we ate at was beautiful and the kids played with the dogs and cats. The family that cooked us lunch overheard it was my son’s 11th birthday and surprised us with a cake when we were back for the lunch. Bring a dry bag if you want to take your phone for pictures and eat a hearty breakfast as it is intense. If I could give these guys more than 5 stars I would!!! Gracias!

Abseiling in spectacular scenery! - The tour was well organised and fun, with a good amount of challenge - particularly the final abseil! The guides were professional and worked with all the participants to make sure people felt safe and comfortable. Be aware that you may pick up a couple of bruises or scrapes from the rocks - this is to be expected. I personally really didn't enjoy the final abseil which is very high and difficult, particularly with water pouring over you - but others, including my partner loved it. The only real frustration I had with the tour was that there was quite a lot of waiting between abseils due to the gear set-up and waiting for each person in turn; obviously very much needed for safety reasons, but it does feel that it takes a long time out of the day to spend around 10 to 15 minutes actually abseiling.
