Tons of Wildlife - This tour was our first wild life adventure upon arriving in Costa Rica, and it set the bar very high. We probably saw more wildlife on this tour than in any other tour we did in Costa Rica, and the ride down the river was so peaceful. However, what really made the experience memorable were the tour guides: Juan Carlos and Luis José a/k/a Chino. They were both so knowledgeable about the wildlife and took the time to explain and answer every question with precise detail. This coupled with the fact that both tour guides were so personable and made each of us all feel so comfortable and welcomed earns this tour a perfect 5 stars without hesitation.

Phenomenal experience! Hector is the best!! - Hector, our guide, was fantastic and set the experience up beautifully. Saw many animals and learned so much about the culture along the way. The trip is easy, but does require everyone to do their part on the paddle. Absolutely the best overall experience on our trip to CR.

Great float tour despite the rain - We had JC as our guide and he was fantastic. It poured 90% of the time, but he was skilled at positing the raft so we could see animals and reptiles. He was very knowledgeable and a great person!
