Highlights
  • Join the hottest tour in Costa Rica, an exhilarating canyoneering adventure
  • Rappel down tropical waterfalls, experience magnificent scenery, and go where very few have the privilege to roam
  • Enjoy the intense rain forest that surrounds you
Full description
The rugged, mountainous terrain near the Arenal Volcano is ideal for canyoneering. Combine rappelling, down-climbing, river tracing and the huge and breathtaking waterfalls hidden in the Lost Canyon. Start off by doing a fun 4x4 off-road adventure on the “Jungle Limos” as you head about 15 minutes into a quiet mountainside community. Your guides will give you a thorough safety talk about important rappelling and down-climbing techniques. You’ll get high-quality technical climbing gear such as a harness, helmet and gloves, and you’ll get to practice your first descent on a small, 150-foot (45 meter) waterfall. There you are, on a sturdy platform looking down into the depths of a massive tropical waterfall. You’ll rappel down for the thrill of a lifetime! Make your way along the river by down-climbing and rappelling a series of 6 waterfalls that get gradually bigger and bigger. You’ll finish with an exhilarating 200-foot (60 meter) guided rappel! The hike back up takes about 10 minutes, but take your time to enjoy the intense rainforest that surrounds you. At the top, you’ll arrive to the Canyon Café where you can change into your dry clothes and then sit down to your best meal in Costa Rica!

This was our most favorite activity of the 12 we did while on this trip. Repelling down waterfalls and hiking through the water-filled canyons was such a thrill and surreal experience. I had experience repelling so this was easy for me, but if you have no experience its not needed because the guides are all knowledgeable and experienced and explained everything step by step and were there to ensure our safety at all times. They were wonderful. I cannot recommend this activity more.

Fun guides, beautiful landscape. Walk through streams, repeal down a total of 4 spots. Canyoneering itself was over a little faster than I thought (maybe 4.5 stars bc of that). Food was delicious afterward too. Keep the same clothes on and go to the rope swing for 10 minutes before lunch. It’s right next door.

We LOVED canyoning. You'll hike through streams and rappel down waterfalls. The guides are friendly and fun. They'll teach you everything you need to know, and most of all, you'll be 100% safe. I personally don't love the feeling of falling, and I still had a great time. Would go again.
