RESERVATION POLICIES

RESERVATION POLICIES


This adventure involves some inherent risk and physical exertion, so you must be in good physical condition to attempt it. While the recommended weight limit for our canyoneering (rappelling) tour and most zip line tours is 220 lbs (100 kilos) it’s more about waist size than weight as the ropes (canyoneering) and cables (zip lines) are rated for well over 220 lbs but the maximum waist size for the harnesses used for these tours is 42 inches. So if you are a little over 220 lbs but your waist is less than 42 inches you may be able to do these tours.

For reasons beyond our control (climate, river levels, etc.), we may change to a more-suitable tour with an equal or similar adventure-appeal or offer other tour options. We reserve the right to cancel a trip due to unfavorable conditions & will only run a tour according to our company policies. Full refund is given if (on rare occasion) no tour is run.

Some hotels out of our normal pick-up zone may be me charged an extra drop-off and pick-up fee.

CANCELADO!!!! Just kidding, this was the running joke throughout our tour with our wonderful guides. We ended up just the two of us with two guides and they were so professional and so much fun! This was our first time canyoning and the instructions were very clear and they were just amazing to be around. The meal that was included was delicious as well and we would definitely recommend this activity to anyone wanting to challenge themselves. Pura vida!

Kendall & Arturo are GREAT. Everything in the description was accurate, but they went above & beyond sharing their humor and knowledge with us. They eased my fears, and I think this was my boyfriend's favorite day in Costa Rica, one we'll never forget!

Our Gravity Falls canyoneering trip was awesome! The rappelling was such a thrill and the cliff jumping, one of the craziest experiences thus far but totally worth it! The instructors Gustavo, Andres, and Sovil(not sure if spelled correctly, sorry Sovil!) were awesome and full of life. They made sure we were all having a great time and made sure we remained safe and comfortable while challenging us to a new adventure! We will definitely use this company again when we come back to Costa Rica! Thanks for an awesome time. Pura vida!

I just got back from our gravity falls trip. I have to say from someone that has worked in the outdoor adventure recreation business. You guys have a great setup with great staff. One of our guides David was amazing and stood out among the others as fun, friendly, and professional. With such a great staff it takes a lot to stand out like that. All in all it was an amazing experience. Thank you all.

My wife and I went on the Gravity Falls tour a few days ago and had a blast. Absolutely beautiful river and canyon in the middle of nowhere Costa Rica. The tour was a good mix between fun and adrenaline-pumping without being overly scary. Highly recommended!

The gravity falls tour was the most awesome tour I have done so far!! It is packed with adrenaline, fun, and amazing views of the rainforest. I did the tour with my husband this June 2015 on our honeymoon. It was just us two so it ended up being a private tour which was even better. We had David and Edward as our guides. They were energetic and fun guides. They kept cheering us on for support and even did cool tricks when jumping into the water. The view of rappelling next to a waterfall and into the base of the falls is indescribable. There was even somewhat of a tarzan swing which was fun. It was such a fun and memorable tour. Everything about it was natural, no fake stairs, or ropes to hang onto while hiking to get to the jumps. All in all amazing!! if you like adrenaline, adventure, and getting wet this is definitely for you. We had pineapple at the end of the tour and then they drove us to a soda place to get some food which was included in the price. We would definitely do this again next time we are in CR.

We were lucky enough to have Eddie and David take us on our Gravity falls trip. There were only 3 of us on the trip so we got a lot of individual attention. The trip left right on time and we made a stop at our lunch location to order our food for later. We then drove on through some very bumpy roads up to our starting point. We repelled in to a deep gorge and jumped in the the beautiful water from the waterfall above. It was amazing. We did a lot of climbing and jumping in the cool water. Our guides were a lot of fun in addition to being safety conscious and made the day special. We saw some beautiful blue morpho butterflies and small lizards. We had some delicious fresh fruit that Eddie had purchased at our lunch stop. The passion fruit was amazing as was the pineapple. Our lunch was yummy and filling. This trip is not for the faint of heart. The climbing is strenuous and the jumping is from significant heights. If you have a fear of heights this is not a trip for you. For the adventurous types and adrenaline junkies you will love it.
