Ready to feel your heart race as you rappel down cascading jungle waterfalls? To soar over treetops on a zipline and trek through lush rainforest trails? This Costa Rica canyoning tour combines ziplining, hiking, and waterfall rappelling for an unforgettable rush — no experience required!
Canyoning — also known as canyoneering — is an exhilarating multi-sport adventure that is gaining popularity with thrill-seekers around the world. But it isn’t just for die-hard adventurers and expert climbers anymore. With Costa Rica Waterfall Tours, you can experience true canyoning in Jaco, Costa Rica, even if you have never been in a harness before!
Fuel up with a hearty Costa Rican meal, then hop into our 4×4 safari vehicles for a short yet rugged ride up the mountain. As we climb over 1,000 feet, your guide will point out tropical birds, lush flora, and sweeping views.
At the top, you’ll gear up with premium Black Diamond equipment and get a full safety briefing before tackling the first zipline. Two thrilling “zips” send you gliding over the river below before you practice your rappel technique on dry ground. Then it’s time to cool off — enjoy a swim or leap from cliffs ranging from 4 to 25 feet before heading on to the main event…
Now it is time to face the waterfall! When you join us for canyoning in Jaco, Costa Rica, you rappel down the waterfall four times — and you will do it all on your own! Of course, your guide will ensure you stay “safe and backed up” at all times! By the time you are finished, you can say “I am a canyoneer!” and check this off your bucket list.
This tour is fun for the whole family, and we have taken people from ages 7 to 78 waterfall rappelling in Costa Rica. All you need is a sense of adventure! If you have any questions or if you’re ready to take the plunge, get in touch with our team.

Note: If you have any physical limitations that you are unsure of, please let us know so we can see if this is an issue or not. The hike out, while steep, is on an excellent trail and is only a ¼ mile.
All of our Costa Rica canyoning tours will run rain or shine. When it rains here, it is still relatively warm, and the rain can actually enhance your experience while you are in the rainforest. However, if the rain is so strong that it creates conditions that your guide deems unsafe, we will cancel the tour and you can reschedule it or receive a refund.
We begin our Jaco canyoning experience with pick up at our meeting location or your accommodation, then head south along the coast for 15 minutes. We then head inland to our private ranch. We will arrive at our base camp, where you will be fitted with the latest and safest gear.
Our hike into the canyon to the first zipline and training wall only takes five minutes. Here you will receive instructions and take a “practice run” at rappelling.
After swimming, jumping into the waterfall, or just putting your feet in the refreshing water, you will begin the first of four rappels through the middle of the waterfall.
The fun increases as your skills improve on your descent! We will then hike out of the river to the trail that takes us from the jungle and right back to our truck.
