I've always loved river rock walking, and making our way through this gorge compared to the best in the NE of the States. But then, add repelling over waterfalls, and you have a 5 hour experience that made me very aware of my 67 year old muscles the next day. There will be plenty of time for rocking in a... More

I just returned from my CR vacation and this was the first tour my mom and I did. It was by far my favorite part of our holiday. Scotti and Bob did and excellent job of making us feel comfortable and keeping us safe. My mom was terrified to do this (she'll be 60 this summer) because of her fear... More

This is a must excursion for all visiting Costa Rica. I would highly recommend this particular company,Costa Canyoning to anyone. Even my friends who live in Costa Rica had a blast. It met every expectation and more. The scenary is breath taking, and the challenge of traversing the waterfalls appealed to a variety of levels. Scotti and Bob, our guides... More

Scotty and Bob showed us an amazing time, teaching us how to traverse 6 waterfalls through an extensive canyon. I brought my girlfriend along for the trip and was fearful since here favorite words are I CANT! But with the expert training and constant encouragement provided by the Guys she was not only able to make it through the entire... More

This was one of the highlights of our recent family trip to Costa Rica. Scotti and Bob know what they are doing, we felt completely safe and had a really fun day. If you can walk up a hill and over river rocks, you can do this adventure. The little snack at the end was refreshing as well. They took... More

We enjoyed the fact that this was a half day trip rappelling and not travelling to the site. Alot of trips and tours in Costa Rica involve long bus rides on bumpy roads or long boat rides. This was a short 5 min drive up the mountain in the back of a truck which was actually kind of fun. (Make... More

I visited a friend in Bahia Ballena with my sister. We were looking for fun adventures to have in one week. We had heard about Scotti through a few local ticos and heard he was the best. We were able to just go with the three of us and the owner Scotti and a great guy that works there, Bob.... More

My husband and I booked this tour not knowing what to expect and we were blown away. Both Scottie and Russell were the best guides we could have had. It being the first time for both of us we were not sure what to expect. They were great at explaining every step on how to get down safely. We had... More

The waterfalls and jungle are magical, the guides are very experienced and entertaining, repelling down a waterfall will humble you with nature and put a huge smile on your face! This is a experience not to be missed! Thanks to Scottie and Bob for all the encouragement and fun. I will be back :) Om Shanti More
