Andres and Philippe were terrific. Make sure to jump in at the stop. I am 73 and had concerns, but it was fantastic. They took very good care of me.

We had a wonderful experience on the river today! They provided my family with lasting memories and they were very affordable and friendly. I would defiantly do this trip again if I am ever lucky enough to get back here to Costa Rica! My son and I have been on at least a dozen rafting trips and this is easily at the very top of our experiences - it’s an adventure you don’t want to miss!

The tour is highly recommended. Everyone had fun and got wet enough. During a stopover there was the possibility to jump into the water. In addition, fresh fruits and snacks were served. Our guide Andres shared a lot of information about the animals and plants we saw. Fully recommended by us.

The rafting was very fun and cool to do. We went on wave expeditions. Guide christoffering was very nice. Made a party of it. Turning around with the boat, swimming, cool currents, jumping off rock. We were lucky with the weather. Wet suit guaranteed but no one fell out. Other boats did, but everyone had fun. Highly recommended to do.
