Great excursion - Picked up on time. Clean van. Super efficient all around. Boat was well taken care of. Staff very attentive and helpful. We stayed at the Westin and was a quick trip to the dock. Food was was great which is I have found to be consistent with Costa Rica excursions. Very well done!

Best Rafting Company! - We had the best time rafting with the awesome Mario and team. They are very experienced guides who make you feel safe while providing a fun adventure. My teenage kids loved it too. We were looking for an excursion that felt more authentic Costa Rica and less touristy. This one struck the perfect balance. We can’t wait to go with them again!

Great river trip - Joseph, Diego, Francisco were GREAT!! - Joseph, Diego, and Francisco were fantastic!! The river had some big drops, but nothing too challenging for our group - the rain forest was a great background. Joseph was very knowledgeable and gave us some good tidbits on the local culture and history on the river

Great excursion horrible travel time - We were staying at the Westin. We were told it was an hour and a half trip to the Whitewater rafting adventure. Do not be fooled, it was over three hours before we were on the raft. It took us two hours to get to the location where they then transferred us to a different Bus that took us about a half hour up the road to then transfer us to another vehicle that then took us another half hour. We left our hotel at 7 AM and we were not rafting till almost 11 AM. The rafting was a two hour adventure. The rafting was beautiful, amazing, the rafts only held four people. We had a party of five so we were separated into two rafts. However, they did a great job in, including us in each other’s adventures. The guides were great, very informative, pointed out a lot of things. Once we are done rafting it took us over an hour to get back to the location where we had a great lunch. And then over two more hours to get back to the Westin. It was about a 10 hour day for two hours of rafting. The rafting was amazing, but the travel time was very misleading.

Highlight of the trip - Some of the most exciting whitewater rafting I've ever done. We felt completely safe and the 12 foot drop was a total thrill but don't let it scare you off, there's a big pool with no current a and lots of rescue ropes at the bottom. Also saw lots of wildlife including the .most butterflies I have ever seen, a toucan, and a few howler monkeys.

Wet and wild - Great ride. This is our second white water rafting experience in Costa Rica and by far the best. It was non-stop action in a shallow fast moving river. Mario, our guide was great. He shared his wealth of knowledge (having grown up in the area) on our trip. We saw monkeys, spiders, various birds and the big surprise…a waterfall with a pool. Great, wild and wet experience! Pura Vida!
