Amazing river rafting experience - Thanks to Esteban, Dionis and the rest of the wonderful crew. We had the most memorable experience rafting with our family and friends. The crew went out of their way to make it fun, enjoyable and safe experience for us. Kids were literally shouting that it was the best trip they’ve ever done.

Fun fun fun - Absolutely fantastic activity and the team were excellent from start to finish This is a new company and we had a really personal experience rather than booking with one of the bigger companies we had the raft to ourselves This was our first time rafting and we felt safe and reassured but also had lots of Fun The snacks provided were a nice touch and the lunch was amazing - very authentic Costa Rican food Would highly recommend this company over the bigger ones for Sure!

Amazing Rafting Experience - It was me and my wife’s 31 year anniversary. This was my wife’s first time rafting and the staff was amazing making our experience an amazing one. Alonso in charge of the boat gave clear instructions and educated us about Costa Rica, its rich history, and nature. Dioniz scouted the river ahead to ensure we had a safe ride and helped with taking professional grade picture so we had amazing memories. Estevan was our driver and all together made an amazing team. We are making Costa Rica our yearly vacation and we are definitely booking a rafting activity with them when we return. Thank you all for your hard work.
