Maquique Adventure Canyoning and Rafting — Attraction in Peñas Blancas

Do yourself a favor and book with Maquique; you won't regret it!!

Maquique Adventure Canyoning is an absolute must-do experience that I couldn't rave about more if I tried! From the moment you start this adventure, you're in for a treat that's not just thrilling but also heartwarming, thanks to the over-the-top wonderful tour guides.

First off, let's talk about the guides - Each guide, from Dario to Kenneth, Francisco, and Jairo, brought an infectious enthusiasm and professional spirit that made every step of the journey feel like you were the absolute favorite tour group they have ever had. Their expertise in canyoning was matched only by their dedication to ensuring every adventurer felt safe, secure, and part of the family. They were patient, explaining every detail with a smile, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect, and making sure we had fun while staying safe. They even went out of their way to capture the highlights of our adventure with amazing photos and videos, which they generously shared with us afterward, no extra charge!

The flow of the tour was nothing short of perfection. Everything was timed and executed to give you an unforgettable adventure without a moment of boredom or unnecessary waiting.

Safety was paramount. The equipment was top-notch, and the guides' attention to detail in safety protocols was evident throughout. They made sure everyone had the right gear, knew how to use it, and felt confident at every stage. The dual-rope system for rappelling, where one rope was for descent and another for safety, was a testament to their commitment to safety.

And let's not forget the food! After working up an appetite with all that excitement, the authentic Costa Rican lunch served was a delicious highlight. It was the perfect way to end the day's adventure. And be sure it check out the ice cream vendor attached to the lunch spot - totally worth it!

In conclusion, an unparalleled experience where every element - from the guides' exceptional care, the well-orchestrated tour flow, stringent safety measures and the delicious food - combines to create not just a tour, but a memorable life experience. If you're in La Fortuna, absolutely do yourself a favor and book...

What an incredible experience with Maquique Adventure! This has been hands-down one of the best things I have done in my time in Costa Rica & cannot recommend it enough. I ended up doing their canyoning/white water rafting day tour which was, wow, just incredible. Starting off the day bright and early with some exciting canyoning, the level of professionalism by all of our guides was admirable. They helped create a fun, safe environment where our entire group felt comfortable with every part of the tour. Not only was I impressed by the level of detail in the tour, from the seamless transitions between each activity to the details weaved throughout, I also felt incredibly safe in every single part, even canyoning from a 60 meter high waterfall!! Then, we continued our adventure-packed day with white-water rafting. As I had never done this before, I was very nervous, but our incredible guide (super) Mario made sure our group felt not only safe, ready, and comfortable for our adventure, but that we enjoyed it as much as possible. From the very beginning, safety was a clear priority and after going through some practical safety commands as well as practicing them, we were ready to embark on our adventure, and wow was it incredible! Working together as a team, we all enjoyed our time so much and were so bummed when we finished, ready to do another rafting tour as soon as the next day if we could! I've worked in tourism in various countries and can say without a doubt that Maquique's attention to detail is next-level. From the towels offered after rafting to dry ourselves, to the delicious pineapple slices throughout the entire day, to the entire logistics of each activity, to even the professional photos taken throughout the entire day & provided as a really special gift to all clients, Maquique has really considered every detail making their adventures a worth-while experience. I cannot recommend them enough, if you're in Costa Rica, you have to do a tour with Maquique Adventures, you won't regret it! ¡Pura vida y gracias por una experiencia...

A trip to Maquique is a MUST do when you stay at La Fortuna. Me and my partner went in April. We tried rappelling and white water rafting (class 3) for the first time and it was a highlight of our whole trip!

We started with a gorgeous walk through the rainforest with howler monkeys (that answered us!) followed by rappelling off stunning waterfalls (after a lesson!), ziplining through the trees and canyoning along the river bed. Our guides Kenneth and Ronald were sensational- tonnes of fun with advice about our stay, encouragement and great teaching. It was such a professional operation with safety at the focus (even more so than bigger parks we ziplined through later). After some provided snacks, Mario, Frank and David took us to the river for our rafting. They were very welcoming and we chatted the whole way. We were very fortunate as even though the other party cancelled on the activity, they went ahead rafting with just the two of us (which was fantastic!). Mario was the perfect guide; instructing us, having fun with us, pointing out nature like a safari and cutting up some homegrown pineapple for us to enjoy on the water. Frank followed in his kayak to take photos and for safety, but when we said we wanted to see sloths he went ahead and found 3 two toed sloths for us to see! We ended the rafting with drinks and a ride back to LF for a delicious traditional meal, before being dropped home again. During both activities they made sure to take lots of pictures of us to then send to us free of charge (which were expensive in the next park we went to!!) Overall, this was fantastic day of fun and adventure. We were well looked after and the guys were great, they really seemed to enjoy what they did and care about the surrounding environment. I truly think it would be hard to experience this with any other company, and it was great to support a local (and family!) business. We would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you to all at Maquique!!
