Maquique Adventure Canyoning & Rafting Combo

Some tours show you Costa Rica's nature from a comfortable distance. This one puts you directly inside it. The canyoning and rafting combo in La Fortuna offered by Maquique Adventure is one of the most complete single-day experiences available in the Arenal region — combining two physically distinct disciplines into one structured, expertly guided full day.

Canyoning: Waterfalls, Rappels, and Jungle

The day begins in the canyon. You'll descend through a creek trail system using 5 rappelling drops — 3 of which pass directly through active waterfalls, including a 60-meter cascade. Between rappels, you'll hike the canyon floor, swim in naturally formed pools, and cross two zip-line cables of 160 and 400 meters above the jungle canopy. The setting sits within a lush rainforest near Arenal Volcano, and biodiversity is visible at every turn. Guides identify and explain the surrounding wildlife and plant life as you move through the terrain.

No prior canyoning experience is needed. Guides provide all technical equipment, fitting, and a full safety briefing before entering the canyon. The experience is accessible to first-timers while delivering genuine physical challenge.

Rafting: A Different Kind of Thrill

After the canyon, the afternoon shifts to the river. The Class III rapids near La Fortuna deliver continuous whitewater through dense jungle scenery. It's loud, fast, and physically contrasting to the vertical energy of the morning — and that contrast is exactly what makes the canyoning and rafting combo in La Fortuna so effective as a full-day structure. Two disciplines, two environments, one seamless day.

One detail that sets this experience apart: a complimentary professional photo package is included. Most operators charge separately for this. Your entire day — from first rappel to last rapid — is documented by the guide team. The tour concludes with a Costa Rican lunch and return transportation to La Fortuna.

For travelers who want the most physically varied and rewarding day the Arenal region has to offer, the canyoning and rafting combo in La Fortuna is the clear answer.
