Do it!! - Great rafting trip with Ema(Fuzzy) and Felix. Not the highest water levels since it was May but they still made it a great trip. Highly recommend the rafting with this group.

Rafting Sarapiqui River - Best crew in the business!! Julio made sure that the 1hr drive seemed like 15mins. He even showed some wildlife on the way to the river, plus shared some tips for around Arenal. Once there, David, Enrique and staff made sure we were ready for the rapids. Once on the water, we had a great time, even though we had not done this type of activity in a while. After the rafting the Tico lunch was delicious! Thank you guys for showing such us a great time! Will come back soon with the rest of the family!

Excellent rafting experience with a very professional company - A brilliant rafting trip with a really professional company, would highly recommend them. We were really well looked after and the Captain of the raft was excellent and made sure we all had great fun but with safety in mind. Great lunch at the end too!

Exciting rafting - We had Gabriel as our guide and he was excellent! They picked us up at their base and drove us to the top of the river; Gabriel gave us a safety presentation so we would be prepared if we fell out of the raft. He was thorough and serious, with a bit of fun thrown in. Once at the river, the exciting fun began. We wove our way down the river, through rapids, along the sides. We stopped halfway to enjoy some fresh pineapple and oranges provided by the company. We continued and ended up getting dumped out of our raft, but safely returned to it, with Gabriel's help --- it was perfectly done!! At the end, we were driven back to their base and given a delicious casado! This was a great and active adventure that was the highlight of our time in Costa Rica - well worth the time and money to experience this!

"Extreme" Rafting - This was a great Class III and IV rafting trip – similar to others I have done in the US, Top quality transportation, lunch, guides (Jorge was our guide – great sense of humor!), and equipment. The river was very clean and the rapid were no stop. We were able to jump off a 5 m cliff at one point, and had a snack break at another for fresh fruit, and then lunch at their riverside restaurant (which has bathrooms and showers) before heading back. Its about a 90 minute drive to LaFortua each way. They keep your stuff safe in the van while you raft, or they had lockers also.
