This tour is run in the most secluded and stunning scenery, I felt like I'd just stepped into a lost world! The repelling was high adrenalin and challenging while providing a totally safe and secure environment. Tour guide Scotty is an absolute blast, his cheeky sense of humour will be the highlight of your day. The natural rock water slide... More

This trip was amazing, definately the most adventurous tour we took while in Costa Rica. Scotti and Russel were awesome guides, we felt like we were canyoning with friends from back home. Everything was safe. After 6 waterfalls of all different sizes we had a picnic lunch on the back of a pickup truck with fresh fruit, homemade salsa, and... More

Everything stated in the other reviews is true. Scotty, Nicos, Russel, all knowledgeable guides, big on safety, serviceminded, adventurous, the works. What's also good to know; Scotty and Nicos together are quite the comical duo. If the rapelling and jumping around doesn't thrill you, you are sure to get your money's worth by all the cool jokes you'll pick up... More

If you can only do one activity when you are in the area, this is definitely the best. We were visiting for two weeks and it was definitely the best day of our trip. The views are spectacular, its a great work out and the tour guides are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They were patient... More

What an unforgettable experience! The setting of the excursion is both mystic and magical! Besides the beautiful setting our guides Scotti and Katie were enthusiastic, funny, patient and very supportive. Definitely our favorite thing we've done in Costa Rica. This is an absolute MUST-DO. When you are finished, you not only get to have seen some of the most beautiful... More

Scotti and Nico were great! It was kind of comforting to have English speaking guides for something required higher levels of safety! They made the day fun! The pictures that they take during the trip are classics (and they burn them to cd for you to take home, which is included in the cost of the trip). The waterfalls and... More

This is a must do when you are in Costa Rica. Scotty and Nico were great and such fun guides. And just talking to them is facinating, they've lead such interesting lives! We all said this was the best thing we did while we were there! More

Our group from ages 11 - 62 had the time of our life with Costa Canyoning. Scott & Travis did an excellent job of teaching us the skills needed to complete the rappelling with safety. It was challenging, exciting, and thrilling! Highly recommend this adventure. The scenery is spectacular! Cost was reasonable - $80 which included a DVD of photos... More

We had a great time with our family, two teenagers. Just enough of a thrill to get everone out of their comfort zone, even for the one who had done technical climbing. Scotti was very safety conscious. We appreciated the photos he took and gave to us. Wish we had known that he only took cash though. The beer and... More
