5.00The tour began with the punctuality of the driver, John, who during the route provided us with countless information about the country.The rafting guide, Joseph, was also very professional and introduced us to the "toro" mode in rafting. I recommend the activity
So much fun!

5.00We had the best time as beginners.. We were picked from our hotel on time. The drive was comfortable... We were given a brief by David ... The entire experience was so much fun.. they made sure we were well taken care of with safety as a priority.. We had a short stop during the rafting for some fresh fruit. Lunch was good with vegetarian option too.. We dint need to carry phones as they had their photographers around.. Would definitely recommend this tour...
Excellent way to get from SJO to LF!

5.00Fantastically well organised! Rapids are exhilarating enough without being petrifing if you are new to it. Bring watershoes, as you need these, and a spare set of dry clothes.
Great first time rapids experience!

5.00I had never done this sport so I was a little nervous but the guides behaved so well and generated so much confidence that I enjoyed the whole tour. Thank you to Gabriel (our guide) for his patience and for doing everything possible so that we did not fall into the water haha to Mr. Jhon el (driver of the vans) thank you for your charisma and for every story that led us to want to return to these beautiful lands.
Must do in Costa Rica

5.00This is a must if you are visiting Costa Rica.... We had a half day available for an adventure and we found this one.... First time for us and it was amazing. John was the shuttle guy, he was so knowledge and friendly, made the 2 hours there much quicker and enjoyable.... Our rafting expert and guide was Gabriel and he had the patience and understanding to explain what the experience was going to be about.... The whole hour and a half was full of adrenaline rush and good laughs. Pictures taken by them are a must and at a good price. At the end of all we had a delicious meal provided by them and then back to San Jose .... Thanks guys !!!!
Absolutely incredible experience of whitewater rafting!

5.00I can not state how amazing the Whitewater rafting experience was. The team managed to take me and my partner on a tour and we had the absolute best time in the entire trip. The whole team took our safety incredibly seriously and helped guide us through some amazing white water rafting experiences. This ended up being the highlight of our trip and we will definitely do it again. Thank you to the whole team - we loved our experience!
AMAZING!!!

5.00We ended up getting a private tour for this one which was nice. We got a medium size raft (for 6 ppl but it was just us two and the instructor). David was a great instructor and guide. He taught us everything we needed to know about how to raft safely and then in the water he helped us maneuver through the river for the entire experience (~2 hours). It was super fun to go through those level 3 white water sections in the river. I loved seeing all the birds, river otter and other animals too. We even spotted two sloths on the road when we drove to the river. The fruit break was nice too. Pineapple and watermelon were so good. I also got to jump into the river and swim which was always fun. The food at the end was great. Also the transfer from San Jose to La Fortuna worked perfectly. We also bought our optional action pictures which were taken during the rafting. They were all nice and great souvenirs. Five star experience through and through.
