Extreme Jaco Canyoning

Summary Description

This exciting canyoning tour in Costa Rica starts just 20 minutes from Jaco! After fueling up with an authentic Costa Rican breakfast, we hop into our 4Ă—4 vehicles and drive up the mountain to our private reserve at an altitude of over 1,000ft.

Highlights
  • 6-hour adrenaline-packed adventure
  • Located 20 minutes from Jaco
  • Suitable for ages 10+
  • Description

    Your experienced guide will provide a comprehensive safety briefing before embarking on a five-minute hike to the first zipline. Here, you'll enjoy two exhilarating zips over the river, followed by a dry training rappel to familiarize yourself with proper techniques.

    A short hike downstream leads to opportunities for swimming and optional cliff jumping from heights of 4 to 25 feet. Next, you'll tackle four waterfall rappels ranging from 50 to 85 feet, each offering a unique challenge.

    The adventure culminates with Costa Rica's longest unassisted rappel—a thrilling 150-foot descent into a refreshing pool. Throughout the experience, your guide ensures your safety with constant support. After exploring natural swimming holes deep within the canyon, a steep 30-minute hike brings you back to base. The entire tour spans approximately five to six hours, making it essential to be in good physical condition for this unforgettable adventure.
