Rafting safari - The most amazing adventure that we have ever been on. We saw a troop of monkeys, five toucans, iguanas and many other things. Our guide Fi, was excellent. Very knowledgable about all things. He took extra time and stopped to let us out of the raft to see the troupe of monkeys. It’s was a once in a life time special experience we will never forget!!!

So much wildlife info - Fi (I am not sure if spelled his name right) was so knowledgeable and so caring about the nature, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone like that. Great tour, no rushing to get over with, a lot of info. They even had a fruit tray ready after the river trip

We saw so many cool wildlife! - Carlos, Byron, Failan, and the team were fantastic to have as our guide! They picked us up at our hostel, were friendly, very knowledgeable, and fun. We saw many wild life animals, from fly eater birds, herons, tucans, monkeys, to a very special silhouette (we believe it could have been an ocelot)! Thank you especially to Byron for your efforts to keep us on the path of the river and sharing your knowledge with us! I'd highly recommend this tour if you want a relaxing but fun time!

A must see - Fai was incredible and very knowledgable. He took his time showing us the animals and plants. I travel a lot and this is the best tour I’ve ever done. I felt very safe being a female solo traveler as well. We saw monkeys, a porcupine, an owl, iguanas, frogs and many birds. If you’re an animal lover you will love this.

Recommended! - Very friendly staff, speak great English and are very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora. There are many animals about, and if not, you can enjoy the serenity of the calm river and the beautiful plants.
