This rafting tour was the highlight of our trip! The rapids were exciting but safe, and the guides were absolute pros. They explained everything clearly and made sure we were having fun the whole time. The scenery along the river was just stunning — pure jungle and wildlife. Totally worth it if you love adrenaline and nature!

We did the rafting tour as a family with teens, and it was such a great experience. The staff made us feel comfortable from the beginning, and safety was clearly a top priority. The ride was fun, not too intense, and the kids loved spotting birds and monkeys along the river. A perfect mix of adventure and learning

It was my first time rafting, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The guides were patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about the environment. We saw incredible wildlife and learned so much about the local ecosystem. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a unique way to explore Costa Rica’s natural beauty.
