Wild!!! - So much fun. Fox was an absolute superstar and made sure we had a wild ride!!! Marvin fought off a bunch of ninjas while we were on the River and kept my Red Bull safe on the bus. He’s a real Costa Rico hero.

Our Favorite Thing - Our white water adventure trip with Wave Expeditions was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Brandon, and photographer, Jose, were amazing! The hour car ride was pleasant as our driver was great and Brandon talked to us about the area and things we were seeing along the drive. The rafting was fantastic! Not too hard but steady and adventurous! After rafting we had a great meal at a local place as well.

Best Rafting in La Fortuna - This was our second time rafting in Costa Rica and we had a fantastic time. We rafted the class IV and III rapids. Our guide, Justin, was excellent and did an outstanding job navigating us through some narrow areas. From the booking experience, to check-in, to the safety briefing, to our time on the water, we had nothing but a positive experience with everyone at Wave Rafting. We would absolutely recommend them.

Made me feel very safe - Highly recommended, we were very lucky and did it alone. I was a little scared but the whole team gave me a lot of confidence and security. We had a great time, very fun we were offered fruit and soft drinks during the tour and the final meal in the biological reserve very rich. Cristofer, our monitor on the lovely raft, ran us great. Very recommendable experience indeed. The river and the beautiful landscape, we could see some animals as we passed. For putting a sticker I would have appreciated a free souvenir photo on departure or arrival.

Amazing and Safe Rafting Experience - We loved our rafting trip! The guides were very skilled and got the raft pointed in the right direction to avoid rocks and keep us going down the river. When we fell in they quickly brought over a kayak to get us back in the raft. They kept us very safe. The Sarapiquí was crystal clear and clean. The river was beautiful. After the trip they took us to a local restaurant with delicious food. I would highly recommend this trip with wave rafting.
