Great Thrills done very safely

It was an absolutely amazing tour. Full of thrills.
We loved the combo tour of both rappelling and Rafting
Totally worth it

We had so much fun and it was worth every penny. The rapids were fun and exciting but not too scary and the lunch was awesome.
Response from Host , May 2022

Amazing, so worth it!

Truly exceeded expectations. I’ve rappelled in southern Utah, Zion slot canyons several times, and this was remarkable. Very safe as they have an entire backup line to catch you. I was worried about it with my son and it is very safely done. The first rappel was gorgeous, down a waterfall. Total of five rappels. We may even do it again before leaving.
Great experience

Amazing tour!

Both parts of the tour were absolutely amazing! We didn't realize that the two parts were actually run by different tour companies but that coordinated really well together so it felt seamless. Just make sure to bring a change of clothes so you're not sitting around soaked during lunch!
Response from Host , Mar 2022

The waterfall repelling was great! There were plenty of guys there to help you along- they were friendly and knew what they were doing!
Do it!!!

All the guys were great and very hospitable. This was everyone in my group’s first time white water rafting and we all loved it! Agusto was a great guide, and made sure we had an amazing experience.
The waterfall rappelling was also very fun! Everyone was knowledgable of what they were doing, and made us feel safe through it all as well.
Would do again

the best part of my trip.
Waterfall rappelling was incredible. Even the drive to the site was fun and engaging. Every person working was kind and funny. I felt incredibly safe. The waterfalls are immaculate.
For white water rafting, it was unlike any other experience. I have been white water rafting in the US, and it is so much better in Costa Rica. Augusto and Tyler are the best guides ever. And we saw a sloth eating!!!! Big deal.
10/10 recommend :) will be going back.
Response from Host , Nov 2021

Such a fun experience! Our guides were very nice and kept us safe the whole time. The waterfalls were beautiful and I would definitely do this again!
Our white water rafting guide Gussy was phenomenal! He had been rafting practically his whole life and was quite funny. Overall great adventure!

The staff is so friendly and helpful. They ensure not only your safety but that you enjoy and have a good time. My only comment is that we booked this with white water rafting and the tour said it was a total of 5 hours long for both. The water rappelling was 2 hours and then there was another company we got dropped off at for the white water rafting. There we waited for 15 mins in wet clothes and then it was another 45 min drive to the river in our wet clothes. We had a spare change of clothes but did not want to change as we were going to get wet again and would not have any dry clothes. The white water rafting was about 4.5 hours long. In total between the water rappelling and white water rafting it was about 7 hours long. If you decide to do this exact tour, the rapids water is very cold. I suggest bringing a long sleeve water top to keep you warm and 2 changes of clothes. Also bring water shoes as they will get soaked. If you bring a GoPro make sure to ask for the helmet that has the GoPro adapter for both the water rappelling and at the white water rafting be sure to ask for the helmet BEFORE you drive to the river or bring a chest strap for the GoPro as the water is very rough. If you do not have a GoPro, they do take pictures for both activities and you can pay for the pictures in a package. Bring cash to pay for the pictures $30 per company.
I cannot emphasize how great the staff is and how hard they work. We would have loved to tip them but no one told us to bring cash.
I am very happy we did this tour. The staff is exceptional and Costa Rica is so beautiful 🤩
Response from Host , Aug 2021

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
