Canyoning: Ropes and Harnesses, Waterfalls and Canyons

You look down, and the world is only white fury

Somewhere down there is your Serendipity guide

Leap for Joy!

How many times can I do this again?

Serendipity's Private Canyoning: Thrills, Teamwork, Trust

This is rteal jungle, with your own team of explorers and guides

Serendipity's Private Canyoning: Thrills, Teamwork, Trust

The Jungle Sounds Give Way to The Roar of Waterfalls

Because you are a small and close group of friends, canyoning takes on

Serendipity ATV adrenaline gets muddy and dusty on the same day.

Rappelling is NOT Like Falling

As you descend on the lines you have complete control. Your eyes focus in front or above you, not below. There's no "fear of heights". People who say they have a fear of heights are really saying they have a fear of falling. (Being in tall buildings is not fearful unless you are outside with a low railing)

Serendipity all day adventure, stopping for a picnic lunch and cool-off swim in the river

Canyoning requires confidence in your team, not strength

Your Team Makes the Difference

With Serendipity, every companion has real responsibilities. Your companions check everyone else's harness and carabiners, shoe laces and helmet strap while Serendipity guides are watching and checking, too. At the top of the cascading water you help your companion over the edge, making sure he's holding the rope correctly, help him find the first footing. As you descend your team members above help you find your footing, watch your hands and shout advice. Once you have descended you become the brakes for the next to descend. This is teamwork where every age, every one of your companions will have responsibilities to the rest.

Only Serendipity makes this extra effort to really engage our guests as team members. There's no pushing to finish.

And when you are all down, and sharing hot chocolate next to the river, everyone knows they have shared and learned something extraordinary together, as a team.

 

What we won't do is compromise on elements that create an unacceptable risk.

While we're at it, let's talk about Risk. It's one of the most important aspects of any adventure. We're proud of our record, and our commitment to setting the standard in Costa Rica for minimizing risk.

It's time to call us.

The guide was exceptional, and I was impressed by all the equipment, felt safe all way through. I am going home with a big happy smile and a bag of possitive emotions.
