Excellent coordination & very professional. Safety is a must with them and the gear is great. Rappelling waterfalls was incredible in an awesome rain forest setting. The guides were great and well trained. The hike out to the base camp was somewhat strenuous but the hiking thru the creek between rappelling sites required stamina and good balance. The water temperature was not that cold for a 7am tour. Lunch was wonderful at their main office near the river. I highly recommend this tour and tour company. I did purchase the picture package and received a Dropbox link that day contrary to the picture problems seen in other reviews.

Great experience! Pictures are $10 each person, includes numerous pics, and are well worth it so you don’t have to carry a camera, which is difficult. You will get completely drenched but there is changing rooms at the end to change into dry cloths or you can dry off pretty well on the drive back. It can be pretty tough walking and the walk out is not for weak.

FOR ADRENALINE JUNKIES! If you're looking for an adrenaline rush that beats skydiving or white-water rafting, this canyoning experience is it! Coming right off the shoulders of the rainy season, the waterfalls were absolutely roaring with water—making it an unforgettable and heart-pounding adventure. I’ve done canyoning in La Fortuna before, and let me tell you: it doesn’t even come close to this. This tour was on a whole different level—more challenging, more technical, and way more thrilling. That said, I felt completely safe the entire time. The two guides, though young, were clearly experienced, professional, and had such great energy. They kept us laughing and feeling at ease, even while my heart was racing a mile a minute. We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour, which allowed us to move through at a quicker pace. The guides were attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly—even when I got my foot caught in a crevasse (don’t worry, they pulled me out like pros!). The waterfalls themselves were nothing short of spectacular. One rappel had a 90-foot drop right after a zip line, surrounded by lush jungle—it was like stepping into a scene from an adventure movie. Every moment was exhilarating and beautiful. I can see how this tour might be intimidating for some, but they’ve got you covered. There are emergency exits at each waterfall if you decide to opt out. But if you’re up for the challenge, this is an experience you’ll never forget. I loved every second of it and can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this—it’s a bucket-list experience!

If you are considering this but unsure, you should definitely buy the ticket and take the ride! This was a blast. All our guides – in this case, Kendall, Michael, and Arturo – were safe, supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic. Do not be scared off by the rappelling. It doesn’t necessarily come naturally, but it is all safe, you get the basic hang of it quickly, and the guides watch out for you. You also get to hike in the stream through the canyon and jump completely in the water in a small natural plunge pool, all surrounded by the beauty of nature and the rainforest. Definitely wear water shoes or hiking shoes if you have them. And bring a change of dry clothes for after your adventure. The lunch place they take you to afterwards is also nice, and good food. Pura vida!

What a fun and wild ride! This was such an exceptional experience from the start to finish. It was the first time I had ever been canyoning, and I probably wouldn't have done it, but my partner loves adventure activities, so he encouraged me to do it. I was quite anxious during the first canyon/rappel. Once I overcame my initial fear, it was nothing but smiles. The guides were calm, patient, kind and reassuring, which really helped to ease my anxiety. The whole team were professional, warm, fun, and they all had positive energy. I could not recommend Desafio Adventure Company enough for a truly wonderful and fun canyoning experience. Thank you for such a wonderful morning. Pura Vida!
