Great Rafting Trip - Loved this rafting trip. Our guide Orlando did a fantastic job with us and our two kids. Kept us safe and gave us a great time down the river. We aren’t experienced rafters but had a great time, saw some wildlife. Highly recommend this tour to anyone. Plus the sugarcane at the end was a nice bonus.

The best experience we’ve had in Costa Rica - direct quote from my discerning 11 yr old. - Amazing experience with some thrilling rapids. Carlos Sanchez was our guide and he made us all feel very safe whilst still taking us through the exciting parts of the river. We had an 11 year old with us and he absolutely loved every minute. Sanchez took his time to help us spot sloths and stick around to get a better look. He answered all of our questions and you could tell he genuinely loved his job and his country. Back at HQ, the lunch was delicious and tasted really fresh. A great introduction to Costa Rican cuisine. And Warner took us round the little farm, explaining all the plants and trees and made it interesting and interactive. All in all, would 100% recommend this company. Give a rafting a go, you won’t be disappointed!
