Tour Guide is absolute best - Johnny is a fantastic guide that will LITERALLY jump into the water to get you the best pictures. He works so hard to make sure you have a great time. Super knowledgeable too, I've lived and experienced tours in Costa Rica all my life and still learned so much. Will do this tour again in summer for sure.

Johnny is great. We booked a twilight safari tour for our family of 4. We had our own private raft during the ride. We saw birds - Twilight safari tour was amazing. Our guide Johnny was great. We saw birds, bats, iguanas and monkeys. We stopped mid ride with a provider snack. Gentle ride great for families. Highly recommended.

Afternoon stroll along the river - It's been a nice afternoon sailing with Johnny down the river. The two hours are spent flying watching wildlife along the river (toucans, monkeys, crocodiles,...) and listening to Johnny’s explanations. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. A highly recommended family experience. A quiet and relaxed walk, but very nice.

Outstanding nature - Johnny was a great guide! The river was so pretty and we got to see a lot of monkeys. We also saw birds, snakes, and sloths. Even though it was rainy season, there was still tons to see. Everyone was very friendly!

Rafting adventure - Johnny our guide was amazing. He is very knowledgeable about CR wildlife and the plants. My favorite part is that with every tour he plants a tree to help build up the natural flora and prevent corrosion on the banks of the river. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see much wildlife due to the weather (we are here during rain season and a few storms have come through) but, that didn’t stop us from enjoying our time. We did get to see some howler monkeys and multiple local birds. After our rafting trip we stopped at a local cafe and enjoyed some plantains and homemade cheese with coffee. On the way back to our car we enjoyed our conversation about local CR life. We enjoyed our time with Johnny !

I loved this rafting trip with Johnny. We saw so many monkeys, toucans, a crocodile, bats, iguanas + the snack was perf! - My partner and I loved this rafting trip with Johnny. We met on a tubing trip earlier in the day and Johnny invited us to go that afternoon, and I’m so glad we spontaneously said yes! We saw so many howler monkeys, iguanas, toucans, bats, and many water birds even though it was raining. Johnny was a fabulous guide and very knowledgeable. We even planted a tree. The snack at the end of the trip — yuca bread, banana bread, fresh cheese, plantains and coffee at a local farm — was the cherry on top. Highly highly highly recommend!

Amazing Wildlife Safari in LaFortuna - Johny is an excellent guide. This is worth every single dollar. Amazing wildlife, tasty food at the farm and good vibes. Johny is really good at finding animals, and makes sure you get to see them. He is super nice as he answers your questions and make sure you enjoy the experience. One of the best tours in my life! Would 100% recommend.
