        MUST DO
        Thrilling, great guides, awesome experience that you must do if in the area. I’d recommend this unique experience before zip lining.

        Fun Family Adventure
        What a fun adventure for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids aged 8 and 10). Our kids were a bit nervous, but the guides did a great job of putting them at ease and helping them conquer their fears, such that it ended up being one of their favorite activities. The guides are very professional and make sure everyone was safe and outfitted in gear designed to fit their size. It was a big group of people for our tour, but they had it so well organized, that we were never waiting. The lunch afterwards was good too. I only wish they included the photos in the tour rather than selling them separately.

        Ultimate Waterfall Rappel was Ultimate!
        The whole experience was terrific. Alan and the whole team were great. Highly recommend it. Pure Trek was top notch. We were all first timers and they were very patient and thorough.

        Don't think, just do it
        One of the coolest experiences I've ever had. The guides Allen and Myron were amazing and made sure that we had the best time. Everything was really well run and we felt completely safe the whole time. If you are afraid of heights or have trouble with stairs this probably isn't for you, but if you are down for a great time, this is THE place. Also Diego is the GOAT.

        70th birthday Canyoning Costa Rica!
        Absolutely one of the most exhilarating experiences ever! Pure Trek offers a professional smoothly and safe ran experience. The pick up at our hotel was on time, small group of about 10-12 people. The guides explained everything to expect gave precise instructions, explained the harness and safety. We had 1-4 operators at the top and bottom of each waterfall/Rappel. We went for my husbands 70th and I am 66 years old, we are in decent shape, others with us were excellent to not so decent shape it didn't mater the guides work with with each individual to ensure safety and good times for all. The lunch provided was plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend Pure Trek!

        Must Do Even for Beginners
        This is such an incredible and safe activity for anyone. This was our first time rappelling and Myron and crew made sure to make us feel so comfortable. At one point when my wife's body completely tensed up, he calmly spoke to her and got her to calm down to go down. By the end, we felt like experts. This was an adrenaline rush but so so safe. And the monkey drop is a must do! It's really not bad, you just have to hold on and they do the rest. They take wonderful photos and videos! The package is super affordable too. We were almost sad that it was over soon. The lunch included was very delicious. I cannot recommend this crew enough. They have showers too. I'd definitely recommend comfortable shoes and do be ready for some increased heart rate from the walks you do from one rappel to the other. That part is a little exhausting. But definitely take the chance in doing this activity. It is very much worth it! Thank you so much, Pure Trek. We enjoyed it very much! Pura vida!

        Paid for photos never received them
        The tour itself was amazing. Unfortunately, only 2 stars because we paid for photos. They were to be emailed to us but we never did receive them. We have reached out several times through email and Instagram and have not received a response. Very disappointing.

        Super fun rappelling !
        My 2 kids ( 24 & 13 yrs old ) had an incredible rappelling experience with Pure Trek! The guides were professional and made sure they felt safe and confident ( It was their first time rappelling ) The scenery was breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush was unmatched. The whole adventure was well-organized, with clear instructions and top-notch equipment. The lunch provided was delicious, homemade Costarrican arroz con pollo ! I highly recommend Pure Trek for anyone looking to experience an exciting and memorable outdoor adventure!

        Loved!
        The Waterfall Rappel Tour was an absolute blast! As novice rappelers, we felt completely safe throughout the experience, thanks to the excellent guides. The breathtaking views and exhilarating rappels made it unforgettable. We purchased the photo package and I'm glad we did. We got some awesome photos and videos. I do wish we had brought a gopro or our phones in a waterproof case to get our own pictures. We’d highly recommend it again and again!

        What a fun, thrilling experience! This was my first time waterfall repelling, and I felt safe and comfortable with the guides and equipment! The repels were exciting - you will definitely get wet on all but 1! The trail between one set was very pretty and jungly. Lunch afterwards was perfect and enjoyed making friends with the group!

      Yesterday my children and I went on a canyoning trip with Pure Trek Canyoning and the entire experience was amazing. Our tour guide was Jonathan, Diego, Manuel and one other guys which I can recalled his name. The team was on time, extremely professionals, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We are extremely happy with the experience, it was full of laughs and adventure, I recommend to anyone. They also take all precautions with COVID measurements! We feel extremely safe! Thank you Pure Trek Canyoning! Pura Vida!

      We booked through Pure Trek & were not disappointed!
      The waterfall rappelling was first and it had amazing views. The guides were kind, safety was ensured, we were nervous about the heights but it was so worth it! There were 4 rappels total & the monkey drop was awesome.
      Lunch was great with traditional Costa Rican food at the main Pure Trek building in town where we changed into dry clothes/shoes. We originally wore clothes that could get wet and tevas/Chacons and that worked great.
      The ziplining was booked in the package via Pure Trek, but hosted with another company called AMA. Their guides were helpful. Beautiful views of La Fortuna waterfall.
      We were going from 8:30am-4:30pm, so it was a long day with lots of exercise. Only tip I’ll give is that you need to be in some kind of good shape since it’s a lot of hiking uphill & you need to be able to climb & hold your weight with the rappelling.

      What an amazing experience this was! I booked through this group based off of a referral from a friend in CR and was not disappointed! Jonathan, our main guide was very knowledgeable and engaging along with the entire crew who all made us feel welcome, safe and looked after throughout the duration of the trip. The lunch provided was delicious and the surroundings spectacular. Would most assuredly do this again and recommend to anyone. Pura vida!

      Beware: especially women- you will not like the face rape you get from them holding you under the water. It was Rushed & theyheld you under the waterfalls so you couldn’t really experience everything. They held you under all of the waterfalls so you couldn’t look around & enjoy the scenery going down because water was beating you in the face. Also, they rushed you thruincluding rushing your descent because they controlled it. We were with a group of 8 & couldn’t watch every because they kept rushing you along- there was room!! They were nice & kept us safe but, they could greatly improve!!

      I loved this rappelling/canyoning excursion so much. Such an adrenaline rush! Zip lining was fine..but I've done zip lining many times before, so this was the same thing as before. This review is mainly about how great Pure Trek was. The lunch we got in between excursions was fantastic. And at the end, when we were cold and shivering, warm towels out of the dryer were waiting for us - and coffee and cookies and hot chocolate. Lovely! The photo package was only $30 which I thought was pretty decent pricing.

      If you’re looking for adventure or once in a lifetime experience you will find this during this tour here.

      First, the ziplines, they were so far up and overlooking the top of the rainforest. There were 7 ziplines with the first couple being the most amazing that go out the longest. You get an amazing view of the arenal volcano and the arenal lake. We were lucky that it didn’t rain and was sunny with nice breeze.
      If you’re terrified of heights, this will challenge you to the max. I was so scared getting to the edge but with proper instructions and guidance I was able to complete all of them.
      There were a lot of people and I saw little kids going in tandem and having a blast.
      You can bring your gocam or rent it there. I kept my sunglasses on and did not lose them.

      The second one, the waterfall rappelling was also amazing. PureTrek really has done an amazing job by keeping everyone informed about the proper way to rappel safely. The guides were so nice and compassionate and made sure everyone made it safely. The ‘monkey drop’ drops you in a pool so be prepared for that surprise.
      I have to warn you that there was a spot where you will need to use upper body strength to get up the stairs and go to the next waterfall rappel area. In another area, at the end of waterfall rappelling adventure, be prepared to climb up lot of stairs to get to the end. You do not need to be extremely fit to do both activities.
      It’s challenging but I promise you will make it and will be happy that you did this. The guides will wait for you and not rush you in any way.

      It was amazing- Highly recommend!

      Our family of 5 (kids 16, 18,20) all had a blast. We loved the waterfall rappelling the most. The zipline adventure was OK. The ziplines were great, but we didn't realize it was a different tour company that Pure Trek partnered with. There were a lot of people, felt a tiny bit rushed... and the operators were not as personable and fun as Pure Trek. The ziplines were great, but we all thought the waterfall rapel was the highlight of the day!

      Took a family vacation to Costa Rica, it was amazing. I recommend if you have a chance to visit Costa Rica, do it. The country is beautiful and the people are fantastic. We went repelling down waterfalls one day, and what a blast. It was just incredible. A ton of fun and very safe. Diego and his team did a great job. Super friendly and so pleasant to talk to.

      The rappelling was so excellent! So much fun and I have never done anything like it, I highly highly recommend.
      The ziplining was just average. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun experience, but not nearly as thrilling as the rappelling, and the staff didn't go above and beyond as they did with the rappelling either.
      We also got lunch after, though, which was very pleasant.
