We booked quite a few tours with Desafio while we were in both Arenal and Monteverde and everything they did was perfect. We also booked all our transportation with them. Also all perfect! I have traveled to many countries and booked with many tour companies and Desafio outdid them all. They were on time, safe, and sooo helpful. We did... more

PERFECT!

We had a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica thanks to Desafio! I just told them what I wanted to do and see, how much time I have and my budget, and they arranged everything! The whole experience was hassle free. They have exceeded my expectations. All that was left for me to do was to relax and have fun! They... more

Can't say enough positive things about our canyoning experience with DeSafio in Arenal. They were so professional, safety conscious and FUN! They made it a wonderful adventure and we really enjoyed their humour. more

We booked three trips with Desafio while staying at Arenal - Lost Canyon waterfall repelling, zip line at Sky Trek and Bungee at Arenal Bungee. They were incredible to work with, and everything was perfect. Transportation arrived on time as well. The Lost Canyon waterfall repelling was incredible. What an amazing experience, and the typical lunch served after was delicious.... more

I booked all my tours in La Fortuna with Desafio based on other reviews I read here and I had high expectations that were surpassed. We went the week of 11/14/09 and waited to book the tours until we arrived into town as I understood in low season it was easy to do this and you could get better deals.... more

The guys from Desafio are amazing rafting guides. After a thorough safety breifing we hit the water where we paddled class III and IV rapids, "rode the bull", and even paddled upstream Yes, you'll fall in, but it wouldn't be an adventure if you didnt. I'd do it over and over again. more

We had prebooked with Desafio....Liquid Lava Tour, Mambo Combo and Hanging Bridges. All these excursions are awesome. It had rained during our Liquid Lava tour so we were unable to see the volcano on this night but none the less we had a great time and we did get served some form of liquid which made us all very happy.... more

We canyoneered and white water rafted with Desafio on our Costa Rica vacation. Those adventures were the highlight of our week without a doubt! The office staff, the drivers, the guides, the cooks.....everyone was fantastic!! The guides were so friendly, smart, safe....and very fun. We had a blast and will recommend Desafio to everyone traveling to Costa Rica! Pura Vida! more

We did the 10am Lost Canyon (canyoning) tour on November 13. Our group was small (7), so we got a great experience with lots of personal attention. Once you make it up the rocky road to the headquarters, you're given your equipment and brief but helpful safety instructions and rappelling information. Almost immediately we began with a short back-walking rappel,... more

The tour my husband and I took with Desafio was amazing. Our guide Zender was truly amazing and knowledgable about the wildlife in the area. He had 2 trainees with him and they also did a great job. We were the only 2 on the tour that day and had a great time because the guides took the time to... more
