Costa Rica Adventure tours CanyoningWaterfall Rappelling (aka Canyoning) in Arenal

Set against the backdrop of the mammoth Arenal Volcano. You’ll experience one of the wettest and wildest adventures on a waterfall rappelling tour. After receiving expert tips from your guides, you’ll feel like a pro in no time as you enjoy the region’s most picturesque rainforest canyons. One of the biggest cascades measures more than 200 feet high, offering huge thrills as you rappel down the face of the waterfall. Be sure to wear quick-dry clothes and leave your camera back at the hotel. The tour company’s professional photographer will capture your moments of glory!


Costa Rica Adventure tours RaftingPacuare River Whitewater Rafting

Known around the world for its frothy Class III and IV rapids, the Pacuare River is one of Costa Rica’s national treasures. Talk about adventure- this is one of Costa Rica’s top adventure tours! Also, the beautiful river snakes through dense rainforest gorges, offering stunning views along with plenty of adrenaline-pumping action. Tours cater to travelers of all ages and abilities, so even the novice can enjoy its many challenges. Paddlers can opt for exciting one-day tours, or opt for a multi-day excursion that includes camping or eco-lodge accommodations. Tour operators offer roundtrip transport to and from San Jose, making this an excellent day trip with huge bragging rights. The water levels are highest (and most challenging) from May-October.


Costa Rica Adventure tours

Scuba Diving

The best place to visit is, without a doubt, the famous Isla del Coco.  Here you’ll find a haven of marine wildlife, known for its schools of sharks, dolphins, and thousands of tropical fish.  Getting to Coco, however, is an adventure by itself, with 36 hours of choppy crossing. Take note that there are no lodgings there because it is a protected National Park. Instead you get to sleep on the boat, listening to the sound of the waves.  This is the ideal diving trip for real enthusiasts! In the northern province of Guanacaste, you’ll find beaches like Playa Ocotal, Playa Hermosa, and Playas del Coco.  These all have good visibility and offer plenty of places to stay.  The Murcielagos Island and the Catalinas Island have grouper, snapper, jacks, sharks, and manta rays.  The Cortez angelfish and eagle rays are the more tropical species that are also common.  Additionally, bull sharks are found in large numbers at the furthermost point in Murcielago
