We used Desafio for 4 excursions on our trip to La Fortuna. We rode horses to the waterfall, did Canyoning, hiked the hanging bridges and the base of the volcano, zip lined and went white water rafting! This company is amazing! Safety was a key! They ensured a great time with each trip. Guides were extremely friendly and went over and above. Food was excellent at their restaurant. They even brought out a cake and sang Happy Birthday to my husband. Highly recommend!

The tour began with the punctuality of the driver, John, who during the route provided us with countless information about the country.The rafting guide, Joseph, was also very professional and introduced us to the "toro" mode in rafting. I recommend the activity

We had the best time as beginners.. We were picked from our hotel on time. The drive was comfortable... We were given a brief by David ... The entire experience was so much fun.. they made sure we were well taken care of with safety as a priority.. We had a short stop during the rafting for some fresh fruit. Lunch was good with vegetarian option too.. We dint need to carry phones as they had their photographers around.. Would definitely recommend this tour...

Fantastically well organised! Rapids are exhilarating enough without being petrifing if you are new to it. Bring watershoes, as you need these, and a spare set of dry clothes.
Excellent tour, Josep was awesome, so attentive to our needs and funny during the trip. The rapids are very fun and exciting and the crew captured our tgood time with photos that we cherish so much.

I had never done this sport so I was a little nervous but the guides behaved so well and generated so much confidence that I enjoyed the whole tour. Thank you to Gabriel (our guide) for his patience and for doing everything possible so that we did not fall into the water haha to Mr. Jhon el (driver of the vans) thank you for your charisma and for every story that led us to want to return to these beautiful lands.

This is a must if you are visiting Costa Rica.... We had a half day available for an adventure and we found this one.... First time for us and it was amazing. John was the shuttle guy, he was so knowledge and friendly, made the 2 hours there much quicker and enjoyable.... Our rafting expert and guide was Gabriel and he had the patience and understanding to explain what the experience was going to be about.... The whole hour and a half was full of adrenaline rush and good laughs. Pictures taken by them are a must and at a good price. At the end of all we had a delicious meal provided by them and then back to San Jose .... Thanks guys !!!!
