Review of La Fortuna’s Pure Trek canyoning and Sky Trek zip line combo, with waterfalls, volcano views, lunch, safety tips, and practical advice.
“This was an absolutely amazing experience. All of our family of 6 agreed that this was our favorite day of the trip. Both tour operators were very professional and well organized. The views from the zip lines were just incredible and the rappelling was so much fun. I was a bit nervous on the rappelling, but the guides make you feel very safe and it was absolutely worth it. It's a one-of-a-kind day that we'll remember for a long time.”

“Amazing excursion! Definitely recommend booking early and arriving early to the location. Part of a phenomenal Costa Rica trip!”
Ride ATVs through Guanacaste back roads, then zip seven jungle cables with hotel pickup, guides, fruit, and family-friendly thrills.
“Was not at all what was advertised. ATV tour was pointless, through dusty road, one monkey spotted along way, not scenic and did not take you to zip line. Then took us to a different zip line which was ok, but not great except people that work there. They acknowledged this and have not offered any compensation. Guides for tour itself don’t seem to care you weren’t getting tour paid for and said nothing until I pointed out in writing upon return.”

Review of La Fortuna’s Arenal combination tour, with ziplining, Maleku culture, river tubing, hot springs, price, tips, and who should book.
“Amazing experience. We did the zip lining/ rappel and tubing down the rapids plus hot springs at the end. So much fun. We have done zip lining several times in the past and these lines seemed really fast. The tour guides on both experiences were amazing. The tubing in the rapids has been the highlight of our trip so far. My group was my family of six ages, 21, 23, 24, 43, 44 and my mom 67! The compassion that was shown to my mom on the rapids is un heard of. She flipped over (which most of our group did) and one of the tour guides said “(Mama) I’m…”
