bunji jumping and repelling!
 
I am enjoying this talk site so much - I have taken many of the suggestions and implemented them. My 18 year old daughter wants to bunji jump as we are in MA or Arenal/la fatuna. I would like to repel the waterfalls - Does anyone have an idea how both of these can get done - same company or same time. I don't really want to pay to go on a bunji trip - but would love to see her do it? Thoughts

Thank you again for great insight.

Not sure about the bungee jumping, but Sunset Tours (in the Arenal area) lists waterfall repelling on their website:

Looks like they team with Pure Trek to offer this. Sunset Tours is highly regarded by many who post here, so I wouldn't hesitate to contact them about the repelling. Maybe they can even make recommendations about bungee jumping.

I'm sure there are outfitters in MA as well, but I've heard more about doing the repelling from Arenal than from MA.

There's Arenal Bungee, which is right in town. You're not out in nature, and you take an elevator to the platform from which you jump.

My wife found me repelling near a waterfall once but took no special notice, since I am generally repelling anyway.

Perhaps a google search for "waterfall rapelling costa rica" would turn up something useful.

Lol, Davy! Do you also repel mosquitos? You might be useful to have around!

Apparently <i>rappelling</i> is the correct spelling... ;-)

Thank you for the help - I will be looking it up - but at least I have learned how to spell them both! Stay tuned, and I will let you all know. Thanks
