Great experience! Warner... - Great experience! Warner did an exceptional job as our guide! He pointed out so many animals on the float, including monkeys, birds, lizards, porcupine, fish, etc. Didn't get to see any crocodile or caiman, but not for a lack of Warner trying. Warner also stopped along road after he picked us up to see a sloth. Lunch was wonderful and farm tour and sugar cane drink was a nice touch to end the tour! Highly recommend this tour.

This trip will make you want to extend your stay!! - Extraordinary experience. Picked up at our hotel, driver Eduardo and guide Warner were so friendly and informative. We got to see sloths at the launch site before we even got in the water. The float was gentle and beautiful, and Warner spotted howler monkeys, several kinds of birds, a few kinds of iguanas, bee hives, a spectacle owl, turtles, emerald lizard - so many things! The home-cooked lunch afterward was crazy-great! Loved every minute!

Neat!! - It was great. We didn’t get wet - saw three sets of monkeys. If you have a chance, take the tour behind the restaurant into the Farmhouse. You’ll mash sugarcane and drink the juice.

Lovely and peaceful raft down the river - This activity was beyond my expectation! The raft float on Penas Blanca was so peaceful, immersive, and just a lovely experience. No skills needed for this very light activity. Seeing the toucans , caimans, howler monkeys, birds, and several different waterfowl along the river was spectacular. All while enjoying the lovely sounds of the rainforest around us as well. Our guide was well educated and had a lot of info to offer. We even stopped on the rivers edge to have a snack our guide brought along. Lunch was fantastic as well, typical Costa Rican casado. This was one of my favorite activities of the whole trip!
