White water rafting with an awesome guide. - Went White Water Rafting along the Sarapiqui River and was assigned Roland - “Rollo,” as our guide. With the mildly active jungle at our sides and the mildly turbulent current guiding us, we set along the Sarapiqui River to discover the wonders of Costa Rica. As we sailed down the river, we were able to take in all of the wonders of the jungle with birds of various types, iguanas, sloths, and howler monkeys. With each successive animal or landmark, Rollo, very amicably and confidently conveyed his mastery of knowledge regarding each animal and landmark that we passed. In between the level 1 & 2 rapids that we traversed, we were able to stop along the way to get mini National Geographic lessons about how this sliver of Costa Rica contributes to the overall wellbeing of the country and how everything ties in to Central and South America as a whole. Would greatly recommend as an adventure for yourself or you family. Thank you Rollo, for the hospitality and great vibes. Pura Vida!

Great day out - After the travel agency messed us around, the guys at Desafio made up for it with a friendly, fun and professional adventure! Aaron was our group guide on the water and we felt very safe with him the entire time.

Fantastic Excursion!!! - We picked this trip because it was in the afternoon ,and with our 19 and 22 year old sons, we don't like to be in a rush in the morning. However, it turned out to be a totally awesome experience! Gabriel (like the angel ,although a very mischievous one) made it even more fun! We had exciting rapids(sons were impressed too) We stopped mid way to swim, do some cliff jumping if you wanted to, and enjoyed delicious watermelon and pineapples. Our girl leader was nice, and helped Gabriel find wildlife up ahead. There was someone taking pictures the whole way through, which was well worth the affordable price. At the end, we changed clothes and enjoyed a delicious Costa Rican lunch( and I don't typically like Costa Rican food) at a cool looking picnic area with music playing in the background. It was one of our favorite days in Costa Rica!!!!

Relaxing float trip. Exceptional Driver. - Class 2/3 nature float trip. Miti was our guide. He did a great job of pointing out wildlife in fauna along the way. Relaxing float. As expected. Not an adventure trip. Post float meal was good as well. We were with Wilson our driver for many hours that day. Wilson was very attentive, helpful and an overall great guy. He coached me in Spanish for hours. I would be happy to have him drive us around again on this trip or a future one.

Terrifying rafting experience - The gravity repel and canyoning was great however the rafting was a disaster. The guide on our boat (Sarah) was totally incompetent. From the start she had a terrible attitude and talked to us all very disrespectfully. Then she proceeded to get stuck on several large rocks plus capsizing the boat requiring the help of several other guides. I was hit by the boat when it was being recovered and went flying down the rapids sustaining several injuries. Other members of the boat were also injured. She paid no notice to this afterwards and proceeded to blame us when she was crashing into several other rocks. Terrible experience which is a shame as the other boats with other guides seemed to be having fun.
