Great adventure for families - We had so much fun white water rafting with our families. My boys are (12,10,8). They loved it! The class 2 and 3 rapids were perfect for our kids without scaring them. Our tour guide Mariano did a wonderful job driving the boat. He couldn't of been nicer. Guestavo, on the bus, did a great job of explaining everything and giving us some cultural background. I would highly recommended this tour to any families.

Wave Expeditions does more than tours! Plan your entire vacation through them! - WOW! We did both the canyoning/waterfall rappelling and white water rating on the Balsa all in one day! This tour is a well oiled machine. It was exciting and adventurous while also feeling very safe! The entire family did both and really enjoyed it.
Canyoning will take your breath away but you leave feeling very proud of your accomplishments! Don’t forget to do ALL - including the Monkey Drop!
Whitewater rafting was fun and exciting with a stop for some fruit along the way. Great photos ( especially if you’re in front of the raft)!
Wave Expeditions planned out entirely vacation- not just these tours! We used them for other private tours, private driving, hotels, meals, etc. They have been around for over 15 years - I know since we also used Wave for our honeymoon 15 years ago!
Very well run company. They remembered EVERYTHING! I cluing my son’s 13th birthday and presented him with a cake!

Excellent canyoning and white water rafting trip - We had a fantastic day out, canyoning in the morning and white water rafting in the afternoon. Our guide for the afternoon was Momo who was fantastic, he was very knowledgable, pointed out the wildlife while giving us a great tour through the rapids. The included lunch was very decent. The only slight downside was a long wait between canyoning and white water rafting.

Best experience! Exhilarating! - Absolutely incredible adventure day for us on our last day in the La Fortuna area. Saved the best for last! Started with canyoning and then moved onto the rafting Everyone was very professional and man what an operation to get us all safely to the bottom of each waterfall and safe and sound in our rafts. I can't say enough about both of these adventures. Thrill of a lifetime!
Oh, and don't want to forget the finale - an amazing organic lunch (best meal I've had in CR), sugar cane demo and really just everything was top notch. Highly recommend if in CR.

Fantastic from start to finish - We had booked a full day combo tour with canyoning in the morning with Pure Trek and rafting in the afternoon with Wave Expedition. The entire day was seamlessly organized from start to finish. WAVE was exceptional. Javier, our driver, got us everywhere safely and kept everyone's belongings safe. Our rafting guide, Diego, was outstanding - super knowledgeable and fun! We all had an awesome time, including our hard-to-impress 3 teen boys.

This is a must do! - Loved this day of activities. WAVE was exceptional and would highly recommend this company. Warren was our guide for the river rafting and he was so amazing and very thorough with safety precautions. He also explained so much of the local history and we had the amazing experience of local cuisine and culture.
