Such a fun activity for the family and a range of ages. We were a group of 4 families (8 adults and 12 kids between the ages of 14-17). Perfect adventure, safe and not an everyday activity. Excellent guides and the stop at the waterfall was an extra special stop.
What a fantastic day!

What an experience!!! Our guide, Andres, was absolutely amazing and we had a fantastic time on the river. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Most of the group had never been rafting before so it was an exciting adventure for them. We did end up falling off during one of the roughest rapids, but they were so quick to rescue everyone. True professionals! On our way back, we stopped at a restaurant for a delicious ice cold beer. Afterwards, we ate at their office in Manuel Antonio and the food was so good! It was a great day-Andres was spectacular, the river was beautiful, and the food was delicious. Don’t hesitate to book if you are up for some excitement and leaving your comfort zone!
Had a great time!

The drive takes longer than they admit but it’s totally worth it. Johnny, Louis and Pedro were great during the entire trip. Harrison the driver was amazing and the armadillo is an experience! The waterfall is beautiful and lunch was great. They picked us up at our hotel too which made it easy for us.
