This was one of the highlights of our trip. We've never been rafting before and they made everything super clear. The level of difficulty was great, the ride wasn't too far, our guide was helpful and charming, and dinner was really tasty.

First time rafting - what a great experience if in the pouring rain.

This was the best tour. The staff was excellent and the tour included going to a farm and learning about farming in Costa Rica (which we also were not told about ahead of time).

Mario was a great leader! We had a great time, rafting was definitely great, lunch was really tasty, and the coffee and sugarcane was great!

This was the highlight of our trip for my 12 and 14 year old boys. They loved it. It rained a lot the days before rafting so the river and rapids were super intense....lots of fun. My 9 year old daughter on the other hand was completely terrified and begged to get off the entire trip. Other than that, it was great. The lunch after on the organic farm with coffee and moonshine tasting was also really nice.

Our guide was funny and friendly. Pick up on time. The river rafting was a blast. We stopped
For fresh fruit along the way. Saw some Howler monkeys in the trees, bats and sloths. After the rafting we had a great lunch at an organic farm with a sugar cane demonstration at the end. Had some of the best organic coffee we’ve ever had. This was a pleasant surprise. Entire family loved this

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Everyone was knowledgeable and views were amazing on the canopy tour. The white water rafting was exciting and fun and I felt very safe with the guides.

Family of 4, with 2 teenagers 16 & 18.
The rafing was great. A little challenging, but so much fun. We had a blast.
The tour mentions snacks and lunch, but they were beyond expectations. Snack was delicious pineapples and watermelons cut while taking a rest on the shore of the river after the part of the trip. Lunch was a in an organic farm, with a delicious and healthy meal, and a cane sugar demo. Very great activity.
