Awesome Day in the Jungle - Walter and team were outstanding. Took myself and two daughters (10 and 8.) five fun zip lines and three fun rappelling events of easy to moderate difficulty. Tour guides were local and experts in wildlife and methods, great guys who made it special. This is a great experience and worth it!

Spectacular! - We were six (3 adults, 2 teenagers from catorze and 1 child from ounce) and have provided us with maximum adventure with all the security. We did 5 shots, we went down 3 falls, we went up a fall and we walked a ponte suspenso. All very friendly and caring for everyone. At the end there is a spa to shower and a meal/snack in a very nice setting.

Amazing adventure with competent guides - Great experience. Guides were extremely competent. A little rough driving to the base camp was not a problem. Rapelling and doing the zipline trough the forest and the canyon are highly recommended.

Perfect Family Adventure! - We had an unforgettable experience with Explornatura on their Canyoneering and Canopy tour! The entire team were skilled experts who made us feel safe from start to finish. They were not only professional but also so much fun and incredibly engaging with our children (ages 9 and 12). Our 9-year-old daughter was a bit nervous at first, but the guides went above and beyond to patiently accommodate her needs, helping her feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. Their patience, encouragement, and attention made all the difference, and by the end, she was smiling ear to ear and asking to book this tour again! This was the perfect mix of adventure and family fun. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Explornatura to anyone looking for a safe, exciting, and memorable adventure in Costa Rica!

Professional, Safe, Enthusiastic - Explornatura organized an amazing two day experience for my group of high school students on short notice. They organized our lodging, transportation, and meals which all were seamless. The guides were some of the best I have worked with. They are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and professional. I felt their risk management standards were top notch and they have deep community relationships. Highly recommend!

Great activity! - I’ve done a few canyoning trips in Costa Rica, and this one was actually my favorite. The waterfalls were all varied, and you have excellent zip lines between the rappels, plus a suspension bridge. It’s a great mix of activities and all very fun. The guides are friendly, safe, and create a great environment. I signed up solo but joined a family of 4, and they seemed to all enjoy it - it was their first time. The kids were 11, and after the first rappel, they were racing to the front of the next activity. Everyone had fun, and we saw some wild wildlife - porcupine, sloth, lots of butterflies and birds. Definitely worth a day!

Outstanding, very personalized experience with amazing guides and gorgeous nature - Wonderful, personal, expertly guided experience. They did a great job guiding and reassuring my 10 and 13 year old during the different parts of the adventure. Beautiful views and warm, friendly vibes. We have done similar tours elsewhere in Costa Rica and this is by far the best experience we have had, its a repeat.

Such an amazing experience! - My group were newbies at zip lining and rappelling so had some trepidation as we suited up and set off (and my wife is scared of heights!) but our guides (Walter, Chris & Eric) were absolutely wonderful! They were so calm and instilled full confidence in us. We felt so safe and, by the end, were chomping at the bit for our next waterfall/zip! And I can’t forget our lunch before we set off…totally delicious! We are so thankful for ExplorNatura and the truly memorable experience they facilitated for us…highly recommended for all visitors to Turrialba!

Amazing time - We had an amazing time with Exploranatura on the canyoning and canopy tour. We have 9 year old twins that were a little bit scared and the guides were very fun and caring. The kids loved the ziplines! There were options for the kids to walk around the biggest waterfalls if needed. We had so much fun, one of the highlights of our costa rica trip so far!
