Awesome!!! - We had a great time and the whole experience was fun, easy, and well organized. Our guide, Ronald, was awesome—friendly, funny, and made everything feel relaxed while still keeping things running smoothly. The mid-stop fruit break was a highlight, especially the pineapple, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. It was a perfect little recharge. The lunch afterward was good and hit the spot. Nothing felt rushed, and the day flowed really well. Overall, it was a fun, enjoyable experience that we truly appreciated and would happily recommend to anyone looking for something memorable.

An Unforgettable Family Rafting Experience in La Fortuna - We had an amazing rafting experience in La Fortuna, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide, Pablo. From the very beginning, he stood out for his charisma, warmth, and professionalism, which made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire activity. We were traveling as a family and safety was always a top priority. Pablo explained everything clearly, answered all our questions patiently, and consistently conveyed a sense of calm and security—something especially important when sharing this type of experience with kids. Beyond his excellent technical skills and strong focus on safety, Pablo managed to share something even more meaningful: the true spirit of Costa Rica, its deep connection to nature, and the genuine warmth of its people, all while rafting through a stunning natural setting. This experience is highly recommended, especially for families. Thanks to Pablo, the rafting was not only safe but also fun, educational, and truly memorable. We would definitely do it again!

Would do it again! - We had an amazing time! I was very scared as I cant swim and never did water activities but our guide Christopher was very knowledgeable and helpful. He had us back in the boat when we flipped over during the tubing part (we asked for a little bit of an extreme ride). Definitely recommend!

Tubing and Rafting - Great experience. Guided were great and made everything fun . The tubing on the lake was both exciting and relaxing and you were able to spot some animals such as iguanas and cows along the river .

The best rafting/tubing experience in La FORTUNA - If you're looking for either a family friendly or an adrenaline rush of experience, these guys cater to both. Attention to details is great from everyone. Everything from checking in to the bus drive to stop and see sloths and the rafting was a great experience. We have rafted a few times and this was by far a better overall experience. Carlos our raft lead was the best! Regardless of what the other leaders say lol. I would high recommend this tour to anyone or any families looking for a great adventure. We were a family of 5 and couldn't have asked for anything better from a rafting and tubing experience..
