Good fun, perhaps the river should be longer, for a longer journey :) - Josef and David were our guides, they had a good sense of humour and seemed to be interesting people. We had a great time, with a nice mixture of larger waves and rocks to navigate between the calmer waters. Thanks for the experience! The lunch was well prepared and a good-sized portion.

Awesome trip would do it again and again - What a fun trip!!! If you want to see amazing scenery and wildlife, have an amazing guide who literally knew every bird call, great detail about habitats, floral and fauna - it was like our own discovery channel.- book this trip!!! Some baby rapid in beginning which made it a little exciting for kids- but it was 100% non threating so no worries if want to avoid white water as it's very calm and easy. It was so beautiful!!! Best day!! Even got a great lunch after, can swim a little in river, had a little stop over and fed some fish. Just super awesome!!

Rafting made easy. - Excellent guide Gabriel. Knowledgeable about the birds and other critters seen. Skillful navigating the raft and made it as smooth as you could imagine. So much so that my wife wants to try class III and IV rapids now. To top it off, a home cooked staple for lunch to end the day. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Tour - Fantastic tour with Rodlan as our guide. We used the Jungle Safari - Transfer option to San Jose. It was very well organised: bus pick up from hotel to River stop. The rafting was great fun. The first half has some Grade 1-2- (3, just 2) rapids also. We also stopped and observed local wildlife and birdlife. There was a nice stop with fresh fruit, then the later part is a relaxing way down the river. Lunch, then back ont he bus to San Jose. Highly recommend

Jungle float - I did the sarapiqui jungle safari float. It was a perfect mix of floating and chilling, seeing wildlife and some little easy rapids. It was part of their transfer package and really easy and straightforward. Plus it included a simple traditional lunch that was delicious. Rolo was a great guide, he's from the area and speaks with passion about the river and wildlife. One of the highlights of my time in Costa Rica.

Exciting amd fun - OMG… I was not expecting this to be so good. Rolo was absolutely 10/10 brilliant. He was very knowledgeable, created a really fun & exciting atmosphere and made us feel so safe. We had so much fun, saw so many birds, monkeys, iguanas, just utterly beautiful. Thank you Rolo and Randy, we just wish it could have lasted all day.

Unexpected Adventure - We had such a great time on the Sarapiqui River. We thought we were in store for an easy "float" down the river, but instead, we got a mild rafting adventure. From the driver that transported us from La Fortuna, to our river guide, Andrés and our safety guide/photographer, everyone was was wonderful! Andrés pointed out the local wildlife and botany, as well as shared stories about the river and its history. We saw so many cool things along the river and were treated to a wonderful thunderstorm the last 10 minutes of our journey. We were already wet so it didn't matter and just added to the magic of the experience. I will definitely recommend this experience to my family, friends and clients planning a trip to Costa Rica.

Family fun down the river! - We were a family of five with a 17, 12, and 6 year old. It was perfect for us! Saw lots of birds, iguanas, and howler monkeys. Kids were able to do a rope swing into the river and the lunch was delicious. Roland was our guide and he met all of our expectations and more. Highly recommend.

Jungle Safari Float - The Jungle Safari Float was amazing! Our guides Rolan, Romel, and Justin were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely skilled at finding animals. We couldn’t believe how easily they spotted monkeys, bats, caiman, and much more for us to see. Floating down the river was the perfect way to take in such a beautiful country. We would highly recommend this tour company!
