A lovely way to begin our day - The guides were very attuned to the needs of my five-year-old. In addition to the peaceful float down the river, they made a stop to show her animals on a farm, which she very much enjoyed. Julio even made me a cup of exceptional Costa Rican coffee! a truly pleasant day and the length of the trip, 2 1/2 hours, was a ideal for my granddaughter. Our guides were very good at pointing out the beautiful birds we saw along the way and were extremely knowledgeable as well. We ended our adventure with the sweetest pineapple and coconut water we’ve ever had!

Good visit - Ray was our guide, he was great at spotting animals and really cared if we got a good experience. Food was nice and the mini tour of the farm at the end was also really interesting.

Favorite La Fortuna Experience! - What a wonderful day, even with rain! My family had the pleasure of spending our day with Werner, who took care of us on the river and at lunch. Because of the heavy rain the night before and showers during our float, we didn't see the greatest variety of animals, but we did enjoy paddling together, seeing several birds and monkeys, and learning about the native flora along the way. Lunch afterwards was delicious, and Werner continued to be an amazing host, making us the most delicious coffee and leading us through the farm where we made our own sugar cane juice and drank contraband moonshine. It was our favorite experience in La Fortuna!

Amazing experience that goes above and beyond a river cruise. - We had a WONDERFUL time on the jungle river cruise! The calmness of the river was perfect for our two kiddos and we were able to see some amazing wildlife, including howler monkeys and a crocodile! Our guide Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the flora and fauna, educating us about the ecosystem, the culture, and the history of the area. The cruise itself was great but what truly made this a stellar experience was the delicious lunch with fresh foods and drinks from the farm gardens, followed by a tour of the gardens and a sugar cane treat. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and it was truly a lovely experience all around!

Great time with the family - Everything was perfect! The pickup/drop off was simple, the guides were great, the mid trip fruit was amazing the lunch at the end was fantastic and we saw plenty of animals. We were able to see anteaters, sloths, tons of monkeys, crocodiles, lizards, iguanas, and plenty of birds. The only thing we did not see that was on our list was a toucan. And the farm tour at the end with the fresh sugarcane juice was the perfect end. I’m not sure we could have made this excursion any better.
