Felt safe the entire time. Rapelling was a thrilling experience. The guides were experienced and family had a great experience overall.
Fun, but room for improvement.

My kids loved it. I survived it! I agree with the reviews that said they felt a little like cattle. Some instructors were helpful with instructions. Others were rushing too much to explain things. If you take the 7:30am tour, your lunch is served at 10:30. They should just give you breakfast instead!

Solo traveler had a blast!

Went solo, meet a lot of people and was comfortable. The repelling was excellent going through the rainforest. Lunch was amazing. It’s a must do!!
This tour is family...

This tour is family friendly, safe and lots of fun! The monkey jump was my favorite part, very thrilling. The views were also spectacular, lunch and coffee was delicious. The main facility for puretrek itself was clean. Highly recommend trying this experience for yourself!
Thrilling, fun

First time rappelling and it was a great experience. Fun but nerve wracking. Could feel my legs shaking getting to the first one but it was all fun after beginning. Felt very safe with the guides and they helped you laugh through it.
The less you bring the better but they have lockers to lock up anything you bring with you but don't wish to take on you when you'll be getting wet.
They allowed us to bring phones if you have a waterproof case but I recommend the go-pro (they provided some helmets with the attachment to do so) as the photos from the phones slowed things down a little. They have a photographer present taking photos for purchase also. You get all the group photos from your time slot when you pay via their website.
Response from Host , May 2022
Nicole, thank you for this splendid review. We are so glad that you had such a thrilling experience and felt safe throughout. We also glad you purchased the photos so you can keep the memories alive from your rainforest canyon adventure for many years to come, or you may return before to keep on exploring with us! Pura Vida!
Great outing

Pure Trek is a very professional company that gives outstanding customer service. This a very fun rapell with amazing views of the rain forest.
We enjoyed rappelling out of our comfort zone!

This was a fantastic time together with my family of 14. We were challenged to step out of our comfort zone and we became a closer family as a result!
Response from Host , Apr 2022

That makes me and us truly happy. Thank you for sharing and we hope to soon be able to relive the adventure with you all. Return soon! Pura Vida.

Great Fun but Wish I Had More Time to Enjoy Each Rappel
cherrietopdworld
, Apr 2022
Pure Trek rappelling and canyoning was what I was most looking forward to doing in Costa Rica! The guides were knowledge and I had a blast. The guides were very thorough on the safety equipment and rappelling demonstrations. The lunch was very tasty with chicken and rice, salad, and papaya-pineapple juice.
My favorite "rappel" was the second rappel but third "activity" where it was through the waterfall and called La LLorona (lady's tears). SO BEAUTIFUL. HOWEVER, I am annoyed that it felt like I was pulled down this fall and did not get adequate time to rappel myself down / soak in the beauty of the waterfall. In rappels 3-4 I felt rushed and part of an industry (of running people through the activity) rather than it being a personal experience/most people's first times enjoying the activity and Costa Rican forest/canyons/waterfalls.
While the price is steep, they pick you up from the hotel, feed you a single plate of food, transport us by a 4x4 up the mountain, have restrooms and lockers at reception, provide the safety equipment and demonstrations, take photos (for an additional $35), and then bring us back.
Excellent adventure

Adrenaline Fun!
EmilyG
, Apr 2022
This was a really unique experience and we enjoyed ourselves. It was a little scary at first but it ended up being a great adrenaline rush! Unfortunately , we ended up in a huge group of 50+ people and we had to wait for such a long time for the first waterfall. You can tell they overbooked the group because the guides seemed stressed and we were rushed through the whole experience. They really seem to pump people through the day and it was not personalized at all. While the guides were friendly, you were never really sure who was in charge.
Overall, I would recommend but some feedback for the company is to not book so many people at once- it took away from the fun!
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hola Emily, we are so happy to read that you overall enjoyed a wonderful time with us in our Pure Trek Canyon & thank you for having made us part of your Costa Rica vacation. We are sorry the group felt a little large on your day. We are still in Costa Rica's high season in which we can reach our max. participant number. We also offer the option of private tours therefore. In that modality the experience is 100% personalized, carried out in your preferred pace and you receive the full attention of your own team of guides.
We thank you for this wonderful review and hope to relive the experience with you in the near future. Pura Vida!
Amazing experience!

Very good guides and excellent repels. Would highly recommend it. My husband stayed at the pool which made even more enjoyable
Fun jungle adventure!
Gregory_P
, Mar 2022
Super fun adventure! Guides were knowledgeable and kept us all very safe, informed and comfortable. If you made a mistake on the way down they would swing you to a safer spot before you got into trouble. A nice change from zip lining with a similar exciting rush and totally out in a lush jungle setting full of natural waterfalls. Highly recommended!
It was great!
Timothy_B
, Mar 2022
This was so much fun! Great guides and such beautiful scenery. The tour is truly one for all ages as the fantastic people we met on our tour ranges from 21 to 67! We also met a family the next day who had also done it and their kids were 12 and 14. I also felt safe despite having a major fear of heights, and you are up high!
Response from Host , Mar 2022
WOW, Timothy - thank you for this wonderful review and for having allowed us to be part of your Costa Rican adventure experience despite your fear of heights. At Pure Trek we are passionate about creating such a safe zone that everyone can lean into comfort and fun.
We are happy to read that you experienced exactly that and hope you will return one day to keep exploring with us.
Adventure to the max!
Gabriela_M

conquering my fear of heights. Our guides made us feel safe in their hands while still letting us do things way out our comfort zone.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
WOW, Gabriel that is so true! That is exactly what we aim to do and create - an amazing outdoor adventure to take you beyond your comfort zone leaving fear far behind due to our priority being the safety of our guests at all times. Mind-bending and so exciting to read. Thank you for your amazing review! Pura Vida!

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
