Amazing tour with a brilliant tour guide! - Nelvin was incredible, he really made it an experience to remember. He had so many facts and answered all of our questions. He was also so friendly and funny and was great to chat to. Thank you for going above and beyond. The driver was also very friendly and kind. We wish the tour could have lasted forever ☺️ We saw lots of birds, bats, monkeys and iguanas. We recommend this tour highly!

Very relaxing and fun! - Nelvin was great! He would stop the float for us to see the monkeys and point out other wildlife. The snack after at Mija Cafe was amazing as well!

Relaxing float trip, lots of animals to see - We were picked up right on time at our resort and driven to the starting point. Our guide Nelvin was friendly, energetic and very knowledgeable. We were the only two on our tour so very personalized. Nelvin put in extra effort to make sure we were always in the best spot to see the sights. We saw many types of birds, several different iguanas, howler monkeys, white faced capuchin monkeys. The snack at the end was tasty and much appreciated.

Fantastic Safari Float - What a fun excursion! We were picked up from our resort and dropped off at the put in site. Our guide, Cesar was very knowledgeable and pointed out many animals and birds we would not have noticed. We got to see a tayra, which he stated was rare; and also a Spectacled Owl with her baby, monkeys, iguanas, toucans, bats, vultures, and even a dog. He answered all of our questions and gave us the opportunity to dock the raft, swim and take photos. The river was pretty low so we didn't have to do much paddling, just floated along. At the end of the tour after getting out of the raft, we got a show from the howler monkeys. they were swinging in the trees just above our heads, babies eating bananas and "talking" to each other and basically showing off (or so it seemed). We then had a snack at the family owned soda called Cafe Mila. They served us fruit, fresh juice and fried plantains which were delicious. Of all our excursions, this one was my favorite!

Amazing family adventure! - Perfect adventure- we saw so many monkeys, relaxed on a peaceful float down the waterway, and had so much fun w/our tour guide Armando. We finished up with snacks at a local farm, where we saw birds of many vibrant colors stop in for a tasty bite of tropical fruit put out for them. Amazing family memories made!

A fun learning experience! - We had an amazing time on the safari float on the Peñas Blancas! We saw a few howler monkey troops, lots of iguanas, a caiman, and a sloth! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna! Throughout the remainder of our trip, we often referenced things he taught us about. I recommend going in the afternoon as he was easily able to find and point out animals that he had seen earlier in the day.

Lots of animals and great snacks and drinks - Our guide Bryan was excellent. Saw monkeys, porcupines, iguanas, alligators, and lots of birds. Snacks and drinks at the sugarcane farm at the end were very delicious. Approximately two hours on the River and 4 hours total for the whole trip. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Amazing River Rafting Experience - Muchas gracias to our tour guide, Pablo, for an amazing tour. Pablo is very knowledgable in guiding our group along the tour and sharing information about Costa Rica. This tour includes learning about Costa Rica as well as seeing the wildlife in their natural habitat. At the end if the tour, the traditional meal of tortilla, queso and maduro, which was delicious, and provided the opportunity to have coffee, aqua dulce, casita, and hot chocolate. Pura Vida!

Amazing Safari Float Adventure - This Safari Float was amazing! Joshua was very informative and personable and we were able to see a lot of wildlife including parrots, long nosed bats, iguanas, and howler monkeys. It was a great mixture of adventure and tranquility of nature mixed with a lot of laughs :) We ended on a high note with a sample of sugar cane moonshine, freshly ground cocoa beans, and a yummy snack. We were excited for the trip but it exceeded our expectations!
