Amazing kayaking tour with Gustavo - I had an incredible experience kayaking in the mangroves with our awesome tour guide, Gustavo. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour enjoyable and informative. The scenery was stunning, and Gustavo's insights about the local ecosystem added so much to the adventure. Also the meal his mother cooked was the best meal I ate during my week vacation in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience!

Rafting and BBQ - A great experience. Our personal safety was the utmost concern. We had an amazing time. Highly recommend! At the end of the driest season in memory, we had an amazing time on the river!! A must do!! When he recommends the BBQ restaurant, take him up on it. It was the best meal we had in CR.

Best experience during my trip in Costa Rica - This was my favorite part of the entire trip. Me and my boyfriend were lucky enough to be the only people so it was a very personal experience. Our tour guides were amazing. We could really tell how passionate and proud they were of their country because they were so excited to inform us about everything they could (wildlife, terrain, weather, culture). The rafting itself was just the most incredible experience ever. Mel told us when and how to paddle. It was bursts of intense rapids followed by serene floating which was perfect because it gave us the chance to take in the gorgeous views and identify nearby wildlife. It was a key experience that really put me in touch with nature. They drove us to and from our hotel, took awesome photos which we purchased, had snacks and fresh juice for after and even picked some fruit from a tree for us to eat. It was the first excursion we did in Costa Rica and nothing even compared to it. I truly can not wait to come back and do it again. Book this right now I promise you will not regret it.

Everything we hoped! - We’ve done whitewater tours in many places, but never had a more personal and intriguing experience than this one, including meeting Damian on his family farm. Mel and the other operators were awesome rafting guides and also made the transportation to and from the rapids memorable with good company and knowledge of Costa Rica. They made sure to stop for swimming and cliff jumping between rapids, which was relaxing and beautiful. I fully recommend them!

Damian is very experienced and made this experience incredible joyful and safe. Afterwards we had food together and had interesting and good talks. I highly recommend this tour if you like rafting and a very experienced and funny guide!

Beautiful environment and challenge - We had previously gone rafting on the Sarapiqui River. That was a lot of fun, but we were still looking for a bit more of a challenge. We ended up with Damian through someone and he recommended this trip to us. This trip was a lot of fun! Challenging, but doable for people who have only rafted a few times (or no experience, but have a good guide ;-) ). Along the way you can also jump off a number of cliffs, which was an extra. We were also able to spot a number of animals. Our guide (Mel) kept us very entertained from pick-up to drop-off! What nice people!
