We booked a number of tours with Desafio: White water rafting Zip Lines Tour Cano Negro boat Tour Volcano Hike All the tours were GREAT! They were polite, friendly, fun and added tremendously to the experience. Jerry on the White Water Rafting was just superb. We laughed a lot with him and at one point my son fell out of... more

In our trip we did the Rio Balsa tour. It was our first experience rafting and now we are hooked. It was much more than we expected and we owe our amazing experience to our tour guides. They were very professional, knowledgable and funny. Michael, Jerry, Ariel, Santa Clara were super helpful and made us feel safe. We defenetely recommend... more

Recently booked (5/15) Desafio for their canyoneering and whitewater rafting trips (Mambo combo). I'd never done either, but would certainly do both again! Our guides for the Lost Canyon tour were Diego and Marvin. I've seen Diego's name in several reviews, and as mentioned, he's an excellent guide. Together with Marvin, he made sure our group of 6 had safe... more

We took two tours with Desafio in May, white water rafting on Rio Toro and Canyoneering in the Lost Canyon, and very much enjoyed both tours. For both tours, we felt very safe and provided for. The tours were well-thought out and the lunches were substantial and delicious. The guides were all friendly, fun, and clearly passionate about the activity... more

Desafio is a very well-run company that aims to please at every turn. I highly recommed Desafio to anyone looking for a great, seamless adventure. I used Desafio's website to reserve everything a month before we went to Costa Rica. The site is very organized and clearly explains what each tour entails. There's a form you can print out, scan,... more

We did the Canyon Adventure last week by Arenal and Desafio was amazing! They took care of everything and were so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful! We have done a lot of tours and this may have been the best tour company we have used yet! A special thank you to Diego and Carlos who made this a wonderful day!... more

Desafio produced for us such and easy, fun, experience in Costa Rica that I felt I must write a recommendation here for them. It is not often we have all our expectations met and then some. I traveled this time with my grandson age 13 and husband. We wanted an adventurous holiday that would help build are grandson's confidence "Feel... more

Desafio was recommended by Fodor's, and so I booked all of our stuff in Arenal with them. They were on time to pick us up at the hotel every time. More importantly, though, my friend and I had a blast every tour we went on. The canyoning was a lot of fun, the class 2-3 rafting was a ton of... more

Seriously would recommend this tour to anyone who has even the slightest inclination for a little adventure. We went canyoneering at the end of April - it was fantastic. There is a place for you to shower and change after the tour - so remember to bring dry cloths. I felt very safe through this entire trip. They first teach... more
