My family of 5 did the combination Waterfall Rapelling (morning) & Whitewater Rafting adventure (afternoon - reviewed seperately). The Waterfall Rapelling involves 4 rapels, which range in drop from 40' to just under 200' (the longest drop is the first one). I was impressed with the efficient operation and the clear emphasis on safety - I felt completely safe myself,... More

Waterfall Rappelling is a must-do in Costa Rica. I was extremely nervous when it was my turn to go, and our guide, Michael, did a fantastic job calming my nerves. After that, IT WAS A BLAST! I will absolutely be going back to Pure Trek next time I'm in Costa Rica. Definitely by the CD they offer of your experience,... More

We debated about rappelling because we'd never done it before and we wanted a thrilling but safe experience. We're so glad we chose Pure Trek and faced our fears (ok, mostly my fears). We'd just zip lined a couple of days before at Sky Trek and I figured if I could do that I could do anything. We took a... More

My wife and I had a spectacular time doing this yesterday. Alan was our guide along with Miguel, Sam, and Jorge. There were 3 couples and 2 other ladies on our expedition and it was so much fun. The guides took the time for instruction, and being personal by remembering names and asking questions about where we were from etc.... More

If you do one thing at Arenal, do this! Waterfall rappelling is so unique and this place is all about safety. The first drop is life changing -- who ever thought they could turn around and jump off a cliff backwards?? If I can do it anyone can. Price includes a nice lunch. They charge 30 dollars for the photo... More

We have ziplined 3 times and always had a group of 4-8 people. We were shocked to find a group of about 30 on the canyoning tour. We had never done this before and the instructions were WAY too brief to make us feel comfortable. So on the first rapel I realized that part of the way down the guides... More

We took the family, with two children, to Costa Rica recently. Our kids are the active sort, so we wanted to have a vacation of adventure. Using Pure Trek was one of the best parts of the trip as they hosted a wonderful afternoon rapelling down a series of waterfalls in the Fortuna area (near Mount Arenal). Having never rapelled...

We were eager to try canyoning but I am afraid of heights and we have a 11 year-old son. We decided to go for it and are so glad we did! It was a great experience. I only wish there was a 5th rappel so that I could really overcome my fear. The Pure Trek staff were totally in control... More

We worked with Delvis at Pure Trek in Costa Rica. He set up everything for us - made it so easy. We went canyoning/rappelling, ziplineing, hiking, hot springs to name a few. He set it all up, catered to our diets, booked us hotels and transportation. With almost instant email replies. Overall it was a wonderful vacation and it was... More
