Rafting on the Sarapiqui River - It was an incredible experience, a dream come true for me. I want to thank the wave team that took care of us and guided us during the trip to the Sarapiqui River. Brandon took some incredible photos of us and Momo was an excellent guide who made us feel very comfortable and fun. Thank you, I hope to return soon!!!!! Pure Life!

Whitewater Rafting - My wife, son and I had the pleasure of whitewater rafting with Wave Expeditions. We were picked up at our hotel by Oscar, our driver and Brandon (Tato) our guide. The ride to our starting point on the Sarapiqui river took about an hour. During the ride Tato taught us about Costa Rica in general, including eco-tourism in La Fortuna. He also went over safety instructions that we would need to know for our rafting trip. We enjoyed chatting with Oscar about New York City where we are from and where Oscar had lived. Upon arrival at our raft launching point, we were joined by Momo, who would be our in raft guide. Momo once again went over the safety and paddling instructions for our river trip. Here I have to mention that our 37 year old son is atypically autistic. I was overwhelmed by Momo’s patience in explaining everything to our son, making sure that my son understood everything. As we proceeded to paddle down river, I can only say the scenery and natural beauty of the river was breathtaking. The trip itself was exciting, and needless to say we were thoroughly soaked shooting the rapids. At points where the river was placid, we were encouraged to jump out and just float down river in our PFDs which my son loved. About halfway through the 12 kilometer trip we stopped for an excellent snack of fresh pineapple and watermelon. After arriving at our destination, we were greeted by Oscar with a choice of excellent Costa Rican beer or water. We then took a 5 minute ride to a local restaurant where we had an outstanding meal of the local cusine. After lunch we were back in the well equipped van for our ride home. I have to commend Momo, who really bonded with my son on the way down the river. My son speaks a little Spanish and never hesitates to use it. Momo not only encouraged my son to use his Spanish but also added to his vocabulary. My son and Momo spent as much time laughing with each other as they did paddling. The pictures that Tato took of our expedition will be treasured forever. Everyone associated with Wave Expeditions went above and beyond to make our rafting trip a special experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for any rafting trips you may take during your time in this area.

Tons of fun! Pura Vida! - We had so much fun white water rafting for the first time as a family with our two teens. Georgie was the best guide who made the experience even better than we could have asked for! He even found us a sloth hanging in the trees! He was super knowledgeable and fun for my two teens! Thanks for a great time.

Best activity so far in Costa Rica - Class III-IV river rafting with Jorge (MOMO) as our guide. Absolutely amazing. Such a great experience. It has been our favorite so far. Picked us up at hotel at 7:30, after rafting, lunch, we were back at the hotel by 2:30. Couldn't have been any better. Fuimos con Jorge "Momo", el mejor guia. Nos ayudo y nos enseno muchisimo. No hay mejor.

Excellent Guides - The adventure was fabulous. Best white water rafting trip we have been on. Our guide guided us through the rapids expertly. We loved that there was very little just floating. After we finished they provided a great lunch too!
