Best Rafting Guides in the Biz - We have rafted all over the place. By far, Moises was the best guide we’ve ever had. He’s an expert on the raft, but even better, he is engaging, entertaining, and full of fun. He made our day! After rafting, we enjoyed an amazing meal. Do not miss a chance to raft with Descent!

Amazing and fun - It was an extraordinary experience, super fun. Warner was our tour guide, it's excellent! In addition to training very well for the experience, during the tour he showed us various animals such as sloths, toucans, and other birds. I would recommend the experience and Warner as a %100 tour guide.

Best experience we had of the 12 excursions we did in Costa Rica. - They have a very large parking lot at their meeting place and it’s right next to a large grocery store, which was good for us. Be prepared for a long drive to and from, but they will stop at a store if you need to use the bathroom or buy a snack or drink. Probably better to bring your own. You’ll leave your backpacks in the truck. They provide a helmet with a GoPro mount if you need one. My family was afraid to do a level 5 (we had only ever done 4s) but when we were home, they all said it was the best thing we did in Costa Rica. Don’t let the level 5 designation deter you, the guides were great and we never felt endangered. I only ever saw one other raft on this part of the river, and when we were finished, we saw the level 4 section which was a traffic jam of rafts. Orlando, John Carlos and Diego are very friendly and definitely add to the enjoyment of this experience. They stopped at the side of the road when they saw a sloth and we got out. It was the closest we ever got to a sloth the entire time we were in Costa Rica, including the sloth tour. They provide lunch, which is very, very good. Facility for lunch also is really cool. They gave us a quick tour of the farm afterwards and we got a little sugarcane demonstration. Everything about this adventure was five star. They need a better vehicle though, I did not enjoy the paddy wagon style truck, and the seats were very uncomfortable for such a long drive.
