Great experience with David and his family. We went rafting, jumping, swimming and enjoyed some very good fruit. We had the chance to see a sloth, monkeys, iguanas and many birds thanks to David’s eyes. We recommend 1000% this experience.

High prices and small letters you won't find here David is an expert on the river, always go for your safety and apart from giving you very good information about wildlife, Giovanni is a very good photographer and the truth I took more than I paid. A complete experience.

It was a super cool activity! It was very well organized from the beginning: help finding a parking space, a warm welcome with coffee, an amusing ride to the river with lots of instructions and jokes, a very enthusiastic team, who really did their best to let you enjoy yourself to the fullest, to the end: changing room and fluffy towels, a nice local meal and the possibility to buy the many photos they took.
