The tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide Jonathon and the other guides were top notch. If you have never repelled before they make you feel very comfortable and safe. I would recommend this to anyone, young or old, experienced or not. Definitely the highlight for the whole family during our stay at La Fortuna.

Incredible experience- fantastic experience with kids who are adventurous! The guides were great and the rappelling was very intense. You do have to have a slightly above average level of physical fitness as there is some tougher ladder climbing and a few short hikes. We had a great time!

The rappelling was great and one of my favorite activities at La Fortuna. The monkey drop and the last rappel were our favorite. Would definitely do this again.
Pe_B, Jun 2026
This was a very unique experience for our group! We really enjoyed the thrill and challenge of the experience. Be brave because it's worth it. We always felt safe, but one of the rappels was really high and some of us closed our eyes on the monkey drop. :) If you are an even moderately brave group, I recommend this excursion. Physical and mental strength are beneficial to enjoy it!

The staff was amazing.
My gf was super scared and literally backed out on the 1st fall. But tje staff talked to her and made her feel comfortable.
Now she claims this was her favorite event from our trip .

This canyoning trip was an absolute blast and easily one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. The entire operation was seamless and run like a well-oiled machine, from the punctual start to the delicious meal at the end. Even if you’ve never rappelled before, the guides are so professional and encouraging that you feel 100% safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. The combination of the four waterfall rappels and the "monkey drop" was an exhilarating adrenaline rush and a unique way to take in the beautiful scenery. It was a fun, high-energy morning that was worth every penny, and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting La Fortuna.

This is a must do and is worth every penny! My husband and I went with two of our friends and we all loved it! The operation is run so smoothly and we felt 100% safe! We purchased the picture/video package and they captured some amazing shots for us! The monkey drop was my favorite - what a rush - I wanted to do it again! We will repeat this same excursion if we come back! If you’re thinking about booking this - stop thinking and just book it! You won’t be disappointed!

We had an incredible time with Pure Trek Canyoning! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and exciting.
Special thanks to Samuel (Pick-up Assistant) and Jonathan (Driver) for the smooth and punctual transportation—it made the start of our day stress-free.
Our tour guide, Enrique, was phenomenal. He provided detailed safety briefings and shared fascinating information throughout the tour, making us feel both safe and well-informed. The waterfall rappelling itself was exhilarating and professionally managed.
If you’re looking for a top-notch adventure in La Fortuna, this is it. Thanks to the whole team for an unforgettable family memory!

I took my 10 year old kid first time rappelling and we both have a good time, the staff is professional and keep us safe.
Corey_B, Mar 2026
I highly recommend this!! Had a blast, and the staff was awesome!! It's something kids can do as well. Our 11 year old was also able to come.
Jill_R, Mar 2026
Great experience! Will was informative, helpful and fun. Saw a troop of monkeys on the hanging bridges, the full volcano and enjoyed taking a dip in the waterfall. It was the perfect combination of things to do. Food was delicious.
kelsi_H, Mar 2026
Very safe! Guides were very good. Even if you just let your hands slide, they basically control you. Unexpected what the monkey drop was and then option to run off the platform on one, was scary but awesome!
Meredith_O, Mar 2026
Fantastic—we are athletes and we come from climbing country and this is unique and an absolute blast. A must do for any age.
Myriah_B, Feb 2026
This was so much fun! More active than a quick zip line. They picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the repels. The guides were all friendly and a lot of fun. I am recommending this to everyone!

This rappeling and canyoning excursion was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. If you’re hesitating with questions like “Am I too old?” “Am I fit enough?” or “Is it safe?” Let me save you some mental gymnastics.
You’re not too old (or too young). If you can climb 3–4 flights of stairs, you’re good. Will you feel a little winded at times? Sure. But it’s completely doable, and the guides make it feel approachable from the start.
Safety-wise: totally safe. The guides are consummate professionals; calm, clear, and attentive. They keep you secure at all times, explain everything, and check-in at each stop.
And they’re also genuinely funny, which keeps the whole experience lighthearted and stress-free even when your adrenaline is doing cartwheels.
We did four rappels plus the Monkey Drop, which was more fun than I can possibly explain. If you want an adrenaline rush with expert guidance and big “I can’t believe I did that!” energy, this is the excursion.
If you’re even considering it for a second -- just do it. You’ll probably regret not trying.
Kyle_A, Feb 2026
So much fun! Our tour guide Allen was awesome and made the experience even that much better. If you are scared of heights this might not be the best adventure for you. If are an adrenaline junky like us and love beauty you will love it! I would defiantly do it again.

If there is one excursion you should do, this should be it. I suggest wearing a hiking SANDAL as opposed to a hiking boot because you will be soaked. A water shoe isn't durable enough for the bottom of your foot for the hike to the waterfalls as you are repelling down on the rocks but a boot will get soaked (like mine did) when you are submerged in water during the monkey drop. Great tour, good food, and excellent guides.
