Rafting Safari - Awesome safari rafting tour with a wonderful guide named Byron. He showed us so many animals that we never would have seen on our own in the trees and river banks. Birds, caymans, monkeys and aquatic animals. My daughters loved it and want to do it again.

Sloths, monkeys, bats, toucans and a boat ride on the side! - What an amazing experience! I accidentally booked our excursion for the wrong day but Carlos was extremely accommodating and was able to fit in our family the same day! Sanchez was our river guide and Fabian was our driver. Sanchez, by the way, was so talented at spotting animals! We saw so many…. Sloths, bats, monkeys, toucans, owls, crocodiles, lizards, and so much more! Sanchez was also really knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts and was an excellent river guide! Fabian met us, after our excursion on the river, with a wonderful layout of fresh fruit to enjoy while he cleaned up the boat and reloaded it. We had so much fun on this trip and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!!!

Fantastic Experience! - My husband and I took our 2 granddaughters on this safari float, and we couldn't have chosen a better excursion! We saw lots of wildlife including monkeys, caymans and sloths. Carlos Sanchez, our guide, and Fabian, our driver, were excellent, very knowledgeable and treated us like royalty. This was a wonderful experience!

Amazing Morning on the River - I went on a Safari Float with Caribbean Winds this morning with my husband and 18 and 20 year old children, and we all had an amazing time! Our guides, Carlos and Byron, were incredibly knowledgeable as well as kind and made the experience top-notch from start to finish. I wasn’t sure what we would see, but we saw too many animals to list here. To name just a few, we saw toucans, macaws, a sloth, an anaconda, white faced and howler monkeys, and a cayman. I absolutely recommend Caribbean Winds to anyone loooking for a great experience on the river, seeing local wildlife, and in the la Fortuna area in general.
