Do it! - Just do it! It's so fun and was the highlight of our trip. The guides were professional and provided some fun surprises. You have to be in moderately good shape, mostly for the hike back up the mountain, but they do provide breaks. And there's a delicious meal afterwards!

Great adventure - The trip was very fun. I gave it a five because the guys were really good and we were with a great group. I must say it would be better if you could repel the full lengths of the drops.

Adrenaline rush well worth it!!! - Out of all the activities we did this vacation, this was by far our favorite! It was a unanimous vote amongst all our family members! It was an adrenaline rush, super fun, the guides were all so amazing and very attentive, and if anyone was struggling they were attended to very well. You get complete wet, but this was not an issue as the water was refreshing and invigorating! We will definitely do this again!

Getting wet in the Canyons!!! - We had two guides one was Arturo and I can’t remember the other guys name. (Arturo was our guide 8 years ago when we did the same tour, so that was awesome to see!!) this tour was sooo fun! Our daughter loved it! The rappels were awesome! The little zip line after some of the rappels was a lot of fun!!! You will get wet in the adventure fyi. But it is sooooo worth it!!!

The best tour I've ever done!!! - If you like adventure, this is the best tour for you! We pass through the middle of the jungle, between canyons and waterfalls to do rappelling and hikes:). You get wet from head to toe so keep that in mind

Favorite experience with my teens! - This experience was so much fun! My husband and I did this back in 2008 for our honeymoon and have always remembered it. We have wanted to share this with our kids and now that our kids are teenagers, it was the right time to bring them back to our favorite country and relive one of our favorite experiences with them. They both say that after more than a week of fun in Costa Rica, this was the highlight! As a mom I was never worried about safety, the guides were very attentive and explained things well. The lunch was super delicious and even my picky eater enjoyed the food and was full when we left. The photos are great - truly priceless! In our group my 13 year old was the youngest and a 62 year old woman was the oldest - an activity great for many ages!

Great experience, but long wait... - Fantastic experience. I hate heights and was afraid at the first rapelling station, but the guides were supportive and made me feel safe. So glad I did not back out. It was really great to get to the bottom of a waterfall and realize how high up I had started from.
Just note that Pura Vida is alive and well with this tour. We were picked up from our hotel at 12:30pm. We went to one location to wait for some additional travelers. No one showed up. We were taken to a second location where we changed vehicles. We waited here an additional 25 -30 minutes for others to show up. We were told the group was late. Something like 20 people eventaully showd up. Because the group was so large they broke us up, but we still spent the entire tour waiting for everyone to catch up and move on. Because of how slow everything moved we ended up having to cancel our dinner reservations. Very disappointing that we were on time but were forced to wait for others who showed up when it was convenient for them. I am still disappointed I missed out on a restaurant I had scouted ahead of time because the other guests were given consideration and we were not.
So, if you choose this tour, do NOT make any other plans for the day and do NOT arrive early lest you sit around and wait.

JUST BOOK IT!! Amazing experience! - This was one of our favorite things we did in Costa Rica....and we did A LOT!!! My husband and another friend we went with have been rappelling/canyoneering a lot, and they were really wondering how this tour would turn out with the majority of us not having done anything like this before. Both my husband and our friend were really impressed with the set up of the rappels. The ropes were anchored in above us, so we didn't have to precariously climb over the edges in order to actually be in the correct position to continue the rappel. No prior experience was necessary! I felt safe the whole time and we had a blast. One of the other gals in our group was really afraid of heights. But, she also felt safe the whole time and overcame her fears to really enjoy the whole experience. The guides were super fun, strong, and conscientious. The lunch afterwards was fantastic! I don't usually write reviews, but was so grateful for others who had taken time to write one that I just had to let everyone know....If you're on the fence about doing this...no need to be! Just book it! (We also purchased the photo package they offered. It was very reasonably priced and I was happy to leave my phone behind in the locker to be fully present for the whole experience!)

Great adventure + great lunch at the end - Our family of 4 really enjoyed canyoning in Lost Canyon. We each felt comfortable with all of the activities on the trip because the guides were thorough and helpful. The canyon itself is so beautiful, and my only complaint was that I didn't get to look around as much as I'd have liked while walking along the river (because I was paying so much attention to not sliding on the rocks.) There was a steep hike at the end back up to base camp, but we all made it. And the lunch afterwards was fantastic!
