Unforgettable Adventure with Moses in Costa Rica! - Our rafting trip through the stunning rivers of Costa Rica was nothing short of amazing, and a huge part of that was due to our guide, Moses. From start to finish, Moses made us feel safe, excited, and fully immersed in the beauty of the landscape. His deep knowledge of the river and the surrounding nature added an educational layer to the adventure, making every rapid and bend in the river feel like a thrilling yet enlightening experience. Moses was incredibly attentive, ensuring that we were all comfortable with the pace and difficulty of the rapids. He made even the most intense parts of the journey feel exhilarating but safe, and his humor and enthusiasm kept the energy high throughout the entire trip. His passion for the environment and local culture was contagious, and we learned so much about Costa Rica’s biodiversity as we navigated the waters. The scenery was breathtaking—from lush jungle to sparkling waterfalls—but it was Moses who truly made this experience unforgettable. Whether it was a calm stretch of water where we could take in the views or a wild set of rapids that had us all holding on tight, Moses knew just how to make every moment feel special. I can't recommend this rafting trip enough! If you’re lucky enough to have Moses as your guide, you're in for the adventure of a lifetime.

Amazing Rafting Tour - The tour was incredible! We saw multiple sloths on the way to the river and the guides had fantastic knowledge about all of the animals we saw on the trip. All guides are super passionate about what they do! Moses was great fun to raft with and kept pointing out different birds as we went down the river
