Wild Whitewater Experience - Jesus, Juancito, Paolo and the crew were absolutely amazing. We felt safe and had an absolute blast. Jesus was our guide in the boat and was the absolute best. He talked us through the trees & wildlife, made sure we had the most fun possible and was hilarious. Lunch afterwards was the perfect ending. The only annoyance is $100 for the pictures at the end. I feel like this should be baked into the price upfront or mentioned ahead of time to make the decision beforehand.

Adrenalin rush while river rafting through wonderful scenery of the Costa Rican rainforest. - This was absolutely amazing experience. The best couple of hours of our entire vacation in Costa Rica. Not only we got the adrenalin rush from the rafting itself but on top of that you get to enjoy wonderful scenery of the rainforest flora and fauna while doing it. Entire family get to be engaged in paddling. IT's very physical and you get soaked, so keep that in mind. Do not ware flip flops! Wonderful crew and instructors that teach you "do's and dont's" and they genuinely care about people on board.

Will remember for a lifetime - If you can only do one excursion in Manuel Antonio, make it this one. As a resident here for 7 years whose done many tours, this is by far my favorite. Very experienced and professional guides led our voyage through at times treacherous rapids for the ride of our lives! Highly recommended.

Recommend it! - We had a great time on the Naranjo and would recommend this excursion! The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the plants and wildlife along the way. Jesus and Kenneth were great guides and we felt very safe with them. The river wasn’t very deep when we went, so the rapids weren’t crazy but still was very fun. They provided light snacks on the river and that was a lovely treat. We enjoyed the trip and would do it again, just took one star off for the cost for just about 1.5-2 hours on the river. We come from an area with great white water rapids, and it costs about 1/2 to 2/3 the price for a trip twice as long at home. Still, we felt it was worth it because it was fun and we made great memories.
