Great experience. We are a family of 7 with 3 younger children, 13, 10 and 8 and it was the perfect balance of exciting (ziplining & rappelling) and yet well organized and safe. Chris, Rob and Samhir did a wonderful job as guides. Everyone was friendly and patient. The food afterwards was great and overall we have a wonderful time. I would recommend the tour to anyone!

Fun and exciting experience in Turrialba

Tami_L, May 2026

Super fun experience if you are in Turrialba. The guides were awesome! They focused on safety and gave a proper amount of encouragement. Zip lines were fun. Rappels were exciting, but doable. We booked the 12:30 experience and we were served lunch ahead of the activity starting. We were surprised as we thought only the morning start time included lunch. Facility has outdoor shower, changing room, and bathrooms.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We’re glad the team made you feel supported from start to finish and that the safety focus came through clearly. It’s great to hear the afternoon slot worked out smoothly, and we appreciate you mentioning the pre-activity lunch and the on-site facilities—those details are genuinely helpful for travelers planning their day. We’d love to have you back anytime you’re in the area. Pura Vida.

Good Adventure

cbrgold74hotmailcom, Jan 2022

The guides were great and really attentive. I felt that safety was very well observed. I worried a bit about the landings at the end of the zip lines. They were a bit violent if you came in too “hot”. We have zip lined elsewhere and there were spring landings to soften the landing. The bridge was a little “iffy”. The luncheon was very good. The guides gave all sorts of extra info’ about environment and Costa Rican history. This was really interesting. I would cautiously recommend it to adventurous folks.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Safety first is our aim, thank you very much your for visit a review. We are going to pay attention to your comment about the landing to improve it. We are happy to know about your experience and the extra knowledge you have now about Costa Rica. Pura Vida

Spectacular!

Leonor_P, Aug 2025

We were six (3 adults, 2 teenagers from catorze and 1 child from ounce) and have provided us with maximum adventure with all the security. We did 5 shots, we went down 3 falls, we went up a fall and we walked a ponte suspenso. All very friendly and caring for everyone. At the end there is a spa to shower and a meal/snack in a very nice setting.

Las tirolesas, cataratas y el puente colgante hacen de este tour una experiencia muy completa, y es un gusto saber que lo vivieron con tanta emoción. Nuestro equipo siempre procura estar atento y cuidar cada detalle, desde el recorrido hasta el espacio final para ducharse y compartir un snack en un ambiente bonito. ¡Esperamos verlos de nuevo para seguir compartiendo más aventuras!
