INCREDIBLE! And that’s just for starters. Alex, Arturo and the rest of the crew made it unforgettable in every good way! Talk about getting your money’s worth? They got that covered too! The hike to the site takes you through rugged triple canopy jungle, filled with the natures finest regalia of plants and animals. Our guide was a walking encyclopedia of the flora and fauna that we encountered, giving each bend in the trail, a lesson of its own. The 4 waterfalls that you rappel down are all unique, challenging, exciting and gives you a great adrenaline rush! Spoiler alert: you will get wet! Bring a dry-bag for your phone and wallet so you won’t need a bag of rice afterward, like me. Be ready for a great adventure, but keep in mind that when you finally reach the bottom, you have a steady climb back to the starting point but a flavorful breakfast or lunch awaits you at the top! This 62, 58 and 15 year old had an absolute blast!

We had the best experience canyoning with our group and guides Aturo and Alonzo! We were looking for something exciting and fun and this exceeded our expectations. Our guides were kings of all guides :) They were well informed, fun, and it was a joy to share this experience with them. Also lunch was truly amazing. You must go if you are already thinking about it!
Best!

This tour was hands-down one of the most exciting things we did in Costa Rica. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, everything was smooth and well organized. The guides were professional, friendly, and made us feel safe and confident as we geared up to rappel down five different waterfalls. Each one was more thrilling than the last, but the 230-foot waterfall was absolutely wild — such a crazy adrenaline rush and a moment we’ll never forget! The scenery was breathtaking, surrounded by lush rainforest and the sound of rushing water. After all the action, we were treated to a delicious local meal that completely hit the spot. This experience perfectly blended adventure, nature, and authentic Costa Rican hospitality. Side note: the hike between waterfalls was definitely intense, but it added to the adventure and was absolutely worth it for the experience and views. If you’re anywhere near La Fortuna, don’t miss this tour — it’s a must-do!
It is a must do for adventure lovers!

We had so much fun doing the tour with both canyoning and rafting. The farm was beautiful and loved seeing all the animals, as well as the ambiance and views. Canyoning was a blast, wish I would’ve bought water shoes to wear for both. The guides were awesome and Chico from the rafting clearly cares and is passionate about the work he does and keeping others safe. He was funny, informative, and a great guide! The homemade cuisine was awesome. I would absolutely recommend both!!
Great day out with family and friends

We did the canyoning and rafting combo tour. Great fun and well organised. Everything ran smoothly, the canyoning location on the farm was really nice, the Cota Rican breakfast was great. The guides made the canyoning experience fun. The handover to the rafting was also smooth. The rafting was also excellent, some challenging parts which made it exciting. Fresh fruit stop and lunch back in LA Fortuna was very good. Thanks for a great day out.
There should be more than 5 stars for this one!!

I wish there were 6 stars! ABC canyoning was amazing. The farm was beautiful, the guides made everyone feel super comfortable and safe, and all of us had an absolute blast!! Ramon and Arturo were fabulous and so much fun. We could have done this all day - but fair warning - the further down you rappel, the further up you have to climb to get back! My kids and Ramon made it back up and had to wait while my hubby and I gasped and crawled our way back up the mountain with Arturo. After the workout we were excited to try a comida typica breakfast - and it didn’t disappoint. Breakfast was SO delicious - the homemade picante sauce was to die for. Coffee was amazing. The staff that prepared breakfast was super friendly and welcoming. Their rooster and cats were very friendly. As if the morning wasn’t awesome enough we still had rafting to look forward to. We met our guide, Didier, who was a great guy who clearly loves his job and his country. He helped us navigate the class 3 rapids and our 9, 11, and 13 year olds LOVED it. He and his colleagues communicated well with each other and rescued a few ‘swimmers’ from what could have been a tough situation with ease and skill. As a physician I was so impressed by how they handled the situation and I felt completely safe in their capable hands. Lunch afterwards was delicious and we were able to view and purchase photos of our experience. Cannot recommend this tour enough - you will not regret it!!

What a fun adrenaline filled adventure! We had the best time with Ramon and Arturo on our canyoning experience. They were full of knowledge and jokes, making our excursion full of laughs while never sacrificing safety. The tour consisted of 5 waterfall rappels with 4 being practice routes for the final big one. The entire time we felt safe and were never forced to go above our means to do anything we didn’t want to. Following the exciting rappels we were met with a delicious local home cooked meal, it was bomb! Thanks guys for showing us the way and for the fun filled adventure!
A MUST!

I had an amazing time waterfall repelling! The entire experience was thrilling and unforgettable. The guides, Roman and Arturo, were fantastic—super knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be around. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe while navigating the beautiful waterfalls. The lunch provided was also a highlight—delicious traditional Costa Rican food that really hit the spot after an adventurous day. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and exciting way to explore nature in Costa Rica!
