Four former Alaskans and a Water Sloth named Jason. - We thoroughly enjoyed our white water rafting trip with Bryan and “Water Sloth” Jason. There were some awesome and thrilling rapids due to recent and ongoing rains. Jason expertly guided us throughout the journey and also shared information about the sights. We enjoyed it so much, we booked a Safari tour for the next day. We persevered through less than ideal conditions and enjoyed our time on the safari tour. Highly recommend this tour group. Jason, Bryan and Walter were the best. Special shout out to Water Sloth Jason, he’s the best! Highly recommend this tour group❤️

100% recommend!! - Cannot recommend this tour more! Pick up was right on time and we even stopped to look at a baby sloth the team had spotted on the way to the rapids. Our guides made us feel super safe and although it was thrilling and fun, I didn’t feel like I’d fall out the boat once - would recommend to families! We had a boat to ourselves compared to very full boats we saw from other operators. The photos are taken by one of the guides who followed us on a kayak - such an amazing souvenir from a great day.

Highly recommend for adventure seekers of all ages! - We had a true adventure white water rafting on the Balsa River! Carlos Rosales was our guide and captain. He was extremely knowledgeable of the river and its nuances. We were kept safe, had fun, and lost no one to the river. The tour is about 1 hour of rapids followed by 1 hour of a little less rapids with some easy parts. Adventure includes a river-side stop for fresh cut fruit and lunch. Stealthily placed photographers take action photos which are optional and available for a modest price.

Brian, Peluche and Colon... - Brian, Peluche and Colon were fantastic guides. The took us through some very fun rapids. My parents in their 50s loved it and had a great time. My siblings and I in our 20s also had a fantastic time. They pointed out wild life as we paddled down the river. Oh that.

Time of my life! - I was a first time rafter. I thought I had booked my trip, but didn’t realize until the night before - so I appreciated them accommodating my last minute booking! Andres went over safety and emphasized its importance, which showed on the trip! As we got into the water I was a little nervous, but very soon of getting in the rhythm it was SO fun! We even had two little ones riding with us and they had a blast! When we went to depart, we saw a couple other companies that had 50 - 100 people on 20 ish rafts, and it made me appreciate that we had a much smaller crew and a couple of boats - it felt more personal and getting to meet the fellow rafters. Monkey Park was really cool and unique place to have lunch, and it was so delicious! Also, I happened to be the only person that had bought the photo package (I am SO happy I did and that they offered it!) lots of photos, and think others that were in my photos wanted them, too! Really a great experience and a great team of people to do this with!

White Water Rafting - We booked white water rafting via our Hotel (Arenal Springs), collected by Andres and his team, only four us, the personal service was excellent, we had a smaller boat and did not have to share which made the experience more exciting. Andres fully briefed us plus he had a colleague who acted as forward spotter for safety because of the changes in the river. We opted for 4/3 grade in rapids, right choice! Stopped towards the end for some fruit as a refreshment, and on transfer back we had lunch. Overall a fantastic experience, the kids (two girls, one teenager) both enjoyed their first white water rafting experience, only negative was the cost of the photos which you download and choose for yourself, could have been a bit cheaper, but would do it again.

Awesome day - Amazing experience. This was my second time rafting in La Fortuna and it far exceeded my first experience. Excellent and personable guides that made the trip more enjoyable and social. We went though a long stretch of solid rapids without anyone even coming close to falling out of the raft. they had a bunch of strangers acting like a finely tuned team! Highly recommend using these guys.
