Review of La Fortuna’s Pure Trek canyoning and rafting combo, with waterfall rappelling, Class 2 to 3 rapids, lunch, transport, costs, and tips.

“Both parts of the tour were exciting and done well. The Pure Trek canyoning part was so fun and the waterfalls were beautiful. All the employees were outgoing and good at making you feel safe and put at ease. A super fun adventure I’d recommend to all. There were lockers at the start to put all extra belongings in. We took our phones in a wet case, and even though we bought the pictures, I would recommend this because their pics are great, but the photographer wasn’t at every descent and we were able to get some pictures on the hiking trails. Our white water rafting tour was done with…”

“Our family has done whitewater rafting before and we all agree that this is one of the best. From pick up to drop off, Christian and his team were top notch in the equipment, safety and knowledge of the river. The Balsa River was nonstop action with very little calm water. We had a blast and really appreciated all the little extras like a towel to dry off, fresh fruits and snacks and a delicious wood fire Costa Rican lunch. Pura Vida!”

“We are adventurers, my kids are 9, 9 and 11 - the waterfall part of this tour is a true adventure and the hike takes work, that's my only warning to others, get ready to work for it - it's worth every second. We had a small group of about 12 people in our group - we arrived at the house where you get set up for the waterfall repelling and there were kittens, baby chicks and a family setting up for our breakfast (eat something small before you go b/c they don't feed you until after!) You get to the first small waterfall quickly and then you work your…”

“It was by far the best thing we’ve done while in Costa Rica. As a family we’ve done other rafting trips but this one just tops it all. Firstly, the staff: David and Gabriel were just amazing and so friendly. From the time we got picked up until we sat down for a late lunch, it was easy and smooth.

If you need to shower after the ride, they have changing rooms and showers available including a towel. You can leave your belongings in…”
