Awesome family adventure

Published on Mar, 2025

Lovely experience. We went in dry season, so very much beginner rapids. Tons of fun for the entire family.

Great family fun!

We loved this tour! The rapids were challenging and exhilarating and the downtime to float was wonderful. We saw so many birds, monkeys and even a boa! The lunch was so fresh and was perfect. Such a fun day thank you!

Great fun

Highly recommended! Very well organized; We forgot our passports (please remember, as you will cross into Costa Rica), and Ed (driver) offered us a lift back to hotel to grab them. Ed also returned us back after trip as we waited for an Uber! Our river guide Teeni was outgoing and fun, with clear safety instructions. Get ready to get tossed! Teeni was well versed in the flora and fauna of the river and knew each crevice and turn. Lunch was great, with fruit and empanadas and time to chat with other adventurers. Our family made great memories on this excursion!

Excellent Rafting

Published on Jan, 2025

One of THE BEST rafting trips I have ever been on. Knowiedgeable guide (Chebo) pointed out things along the way (saw squirrel monkeys twice and a boa hanging out in a tree, plus lots of birds). The rafting was challenging but in a good way. There was never too much time of having to paddle to the next rapids. Great lunch. Highly recommend. Love that they take pictures and you can retrieve them for free.

Great Adventure!

Long ride to the river but very fun once you get there! We had four in our boat and Tini was our guide. He made the trip, full of energy, able to get us all laughing, forge team spirit, show us different birds and trees (and a rainbow boa!) on the shore, and keep us from drowning (!!) Exciting, fun - every single person on the trip including a very thrilled ten year old, had a great time though most ended up in the water at one point or another! Thank you, Tini!
