Brilliant family adventure in the rainforest — DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!
We did the Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop as a family during our stay in Arenal and absolutely loved it. Gabriel and his team were just fantastic. Great fun, incredibly professional and brilliant with the kids. They made everyone feel completely safe and confident while still keeping it a proper adventure. There were definitely a few nerves along the way, but that’s half the fun! The setting is spectacular — properly lush Costa Rican rainforest, rappelling down waterfalls with water crashing around you. It’s wet, exhilarating and just an incredible experience. And then there’s the big rappel. My advice: DO NOT look down before you take that first step off! 😂 The nerves and adrenaline beforehand, followed by the rush as you’re actually going down, are absolutely off the charts. One of those moments where your brain is screaming “What the hell am I doing?” before it turns into one of the best experiences of the trip. The Monkey Drop is 100% worth doing too — even if you’re absolutely bricking it beforehand! And take a GoPro! Seriously. 4K all the way. This is exactly the sort of experience you want to capture properly — the waterfalls, the drops, the rainforest and, most importantly, everyone’s faces! 😂 We got some brilliant footage that we’ll keep forever. Everything was really well organised from beginning to end. Afterwards, the changing and shower facilities were really clean and well maintained, which was very welcome after getting completely soaked. And the lunch was delicious — exactly what we needed after the morning’s adventure. We packed a lot into our Costa Rica holiday, but Pure Trek was genuinely one of our family highlights. Beautiful rainforest, a brilliant adventure and, most importantly, a fantastic crew who made the whole experience memorable. A massive thank you to Gabriel and the entire Pure Trek team. Couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough. PURA VIDA baby! 🇨🇷🤙

Awesome canyoning adventure!
Had an awesome time with Pure Trek! I went solo and booked through my hotel, and I’m so glad I did. Such a fun adventure and an experience I’d happily recommend to anyone considering canyoning. Would absolutely do it again!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,539 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop?
+
Around 539 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Photographer (Photos available for purchase); Professional guide; Lunch; and Transport by air-conditioned van. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 80 listed pickup locations in and around La Fortuna. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
