What you'll do
The adventure begins with a door-to-door pick-up service at your hotel. Once all participants are onboard, your group will enjoy the 15-minute drive to the forest, where you'll attend a safety demonstration with your adventure guides. Never rappelled? Not to worry—no experience is necessary, and your expert guides make sure everyone is safe throughout the experience. Once you're outfitted in high-quality canyoning gear, including a harness and a helmet, it's time to try waterfall rappelling.
You'll start with a small waterfall, easing your way into learning the ropes. Then it's on to the second-largest waterfall of the day, where you'll continue building up your skills. Hike back up through the rainforest to reach your third and final waterfall, where you're sure to get your adrenaline pumping as you rappel down 200 feet (61 m) of cascades, ending with a splash into the pool below. After drying off, your group will head to lunch at an authentic Costa Rican restaurant, and your guides will drop you off at your accommodations at the end of the tour.Start times

We had never done Canyoning - like rappeling - but I'd not done that either. Everyone in the family loved this activity. I would definitely recommend it to anyone active. Read more
