Very enjoyable! - I generally don’t like rafting as find it boring or too cold, but this trip was so fun! We had 3 adults, and 2 teenagers in our group. We got a good safety briefing about what to do in various situations, and practiced certain skills before getting started. Mel had excellent English. This trip was the perfect length….about an hour of pretty consistent rapids, and half an hour of a relaxing float. We got pretty wet, but I enjoyed getting wet as the water wasn’t cold. The pineapple snack afterwards was super tasty. Everyone had a great time!

Amazing! - AMAZING! I can’t say enough positive things about our rafting trip! Mel and his other guides were so fun, but also very skilled in rafting. We had a large group of 16 and they were great to work with. Beautiful river, fun rapids, great experience. Can’t wait to do it again! Pura Vida 🤙

10/10 - The trip was amazing. Our rafting guide was great, funny, had very good English and even stopped on the way to the river and explained about the plants and history of the village.
The rafting itself was super fun and super wet but that was honestly the best part.
The only down side was that and hour and half in the water felt so short...
We really enjoyed our selfs, highly recommend.

Remember for a lifetime - I'm pretty inexperienced and this is serious white water rafting. The team/crew were absolutely amazing. Good personalities and very professional. There's always a chance someone is going swimming, and when the whole raft flipped over we knew exactly how to proceed and get rescued. It's an experience I'll carry the rest ofy life. 100% recommend.

So Much Fun!!! - This was such an amazing adventure! We were a family of 5 adults, with this being our first White Water Rafting experience. Mel, our guide made sure to get us plenty wet, all while keeping us safe and secure on the raft. He was also full of information about the Costa Rican ecosystem and natural wildlife. He even took us on a short tour of Quepos on the ride back, showing us local coffee shops and restaurants.
The Naranjo River was full of rapids and "Tequilia's" and was just perfect for the adventure we were looking for (not too advanced but not boring). Afterward, we were greeted by his team with fresh juice and fruit. I would recommend this tour for all ages, as they will customize the speed and level according to your experience and comfort.

Amazing experience - I am typing this hours after my experience while I provide you all the info.
Damian and Landon were our guides and were phenomenal.
They provided a great experience the minute we started the drive to get in the river with lots of informative information on the towns we drove through and points of interest, including the animal life.
The rapids were amazing and we hit it at the perfect time. There was lots of rain days prior to arriving and the river was at the perfect level for a guaranteed amazing time. We had an amazing time.
Being able to read the water and know when to paddle forward, backward, left, right or any of the other techniques was wild. But they kept us safe and showed us some amazing rapids and it was the best time.
Towards the end of the rapids we experienced some 1 and 2 level rapids and what they called “riding the waves” 🌊 and it was so fun! You may even catch some air going through some of the larger rapids like we did.
At the end of the tour, you will enjoy fresh pineapple and juice that is homemade along with some cookies.
Overall an amazing experience and I cannot wait to book something else with my new friends.
Gracias por todo Damián, mi nuevo amigo de Costa Rica.
Puro Vida!!!

Amazing time and experience - I am writing this hours after my excursion.
Damian and Landon were our guides today and they were by far the best guides I have ever had on any excursion anywhere.
Super friendly. Super informative. Super experienced.
They provided information the minute we started our drive to the river. Pointing out animals, buildings, towns, and restaurants.
They provided lots of safety information prior to the rafting, even though I’ve rafted before, they provided me some new info.
The rapids were amazing! The went at them in full force and never tipped or fall out. It’s cool how they can read the water and know how to tell us to pull.
Being a smaller boutique company, they are able to accommodate smaller groups and be able to work with other excursion companies to provide helpful info and bookings.
If you want to raft, any time of the year, book this company you will not regret it.
Puro Vida!!
Gracias por todo Damián..mi nuevo amigo!

Experience of a lifetime - I’ve done a fair amount of rafting and this river was the best. Lots of amazing rapids, tons of action, and incredible scenery! The owners and guides are great! Our 13 year old was nervous but by the end he said he’d do it again. We felt like we were in good hands. Experience of a lifetime! Highly recommended!
