Canyoneering was great fun. We were able to do the whole ropes thing down the sides of waterfalls. I do not know climbing terminology but it was basically going down crevices about 50 feet high. The guides were very careful and explained things well. We had a great lunch afterward. Be sure to dress warmly. You will get wet.

There are a total of five or so rapels which were a lot of fun. I wish there would have been more actual rapelling though, as some of them were just quick drops. The staff was great. Our leader was Glibson and he was very fun and professional. Safety was very important. We also had a great lunch and the... More

We originally booked this thinking it was a zip line tour only but we were pleasantly surprised that the tour included rappelling, jumping, zip lining, a Tarzan swing, and a hanging bridge. The staff was awesome especially Roscoe who went out of his way to help my friend who was scared to zip line. Lunch was also included and was... More

They pick you up from your hotel, on time, the staff is great, clean change rooms for before and after. Run a safe and exciting place. I would recomment at least knee length shorts, and some sleeve and all quick drying. YOU will get wet and it's a bit cool in the canyon. Not cold, but cool. Make sure you... More

My wife and I went on this adventure in October 2012. We had a wonderful time. It was just the two of us, along with the guides. The guides took their time with us while descending down each of the water falls. They were full of knowledge of the wildlife and plants in the rain forest. When hiking back up... More

We did this tour as a last minute decision, recommended by our guide Carlos on the hanging bridges tour. My husband & I had our own private group. Our experience began with a delicious lunch which consisted of a smoothie and chicken, rice & beans. Our guide was Roy and our photographer was Artour. You get a little bit of... More

We were lucky to have received a recommendation for La Roca Canyoneering Adventure during our recent stay in La Fortuna and 'jumped' at the opportunity to sign up for their tour. My partner and I (mature aged!) were handled with care and given courage and excitement in this experience. The guide (Clismo) was full of energy and brought the natural... More

They try to include everything in this experience from rapelling, jumping, zip lining, swinging, hiking, and some interesting facts and information about your tour. This is more of a beginner experience anyone can do it and everyone makes you feel safe. Once you get a taste of this excursion you feel like you're ready for a more focused tour. This... More

You will get soaking wet and have a lot of fun! Roy was a terrific guide--he made us laugh and I felt safe in his care! Choose to wear contacts over glasses. Delicious lunch at the end. We could not have been happier! Worth every penny!
