Rafting - Highly recommend rafting! It was very fun and the guide made us feel safe in the water. It was also nice having someone take pictures for us. They even provided towels for us.

Great tour guides, great experience, great photos - I highly recommend booking your rafting with Jason and Aimon. They were so great. Jason steered our boat, he really knows what he’s doing and he’s so sweet. Aimon took beautiful pictures of our experience. We had so much fun and we were laughing the whole way!! Really loved dipping in the river during the fruit break too. Mil gracias Aimon y el perezoso de agua! Ojalá nos veamos en el invierno ;)

Fun and adventure - That was a great experience. It was the first time we have ever white water rafted and I’ll definitely be trying it again. Jason our raft captain was great and funny and we dint crash lol. If you’re looking for a fun adventure I would highly recommend.

Four former Alaskans and a Water Sloth named Jason. - We thoroughly enjoyed our white water rafting trip with Bryan and “Water Sloth” Jason. There were some awesome and thrilling rapids due to recent and ongoing rains. Jason expertly guided us throughout the journey and also shared information about the sights. We enjoyed it so much, we booked a Safari tour for the next day. We persevered through less than ideal conditions and enjoyed our time on the safari tour. Highly recommend this tour group. Jason, Bryan and Walter were the best. Special shout out to Water Sloth Jason, he’s the best! Highly recommend this tour group❤️

100% recommend!! - Cannot recommend this tour more! Pick up was right on time and we even stopped to look at a baby sloth the team had spotted on the way to the rapids. Our guides made us feel super safe and although it was thrilling and fun, I didn’t feel like I’d fall out the boat once - would recommend to families! We had a boat to ourselves compared to very full boats we saw from other operators. The photos are taken by one of the guides who followed us on a kayak - such an amazing souvenir from a great day.

Highly recommend for adventure seekers of all ages! - We had a true adventure white water rafting on the Balsa River! Carlos Rosales was our guide and captain. He was extremely knowledgeable of the river and its nuances. We were kept safe, had fun, and lost no one to the river. The tour is about 1 hour of rapids followed by 1 hour of a little less rapids with some easy parts. Adventure includes a river-side stop for fresh cut fruit and lunch. Stealthily placed photographers take action photos which are optional and available for a modest price.

Brian, Peluche and Colon... - Brian, Peluche and Colon were fantastic guides. The took us through some very fun rapids. My parents in their 50s loved it and had a great time. My siblings and I in our 20s also had a fantastic time. They pointed out wild life as we paddled down the river. Oh that.

Time of my life! - I was a first time rafter. I thought I had booked my trip, but didn’t realize until the night before - so I appreciated them accommodating my last minute booking! Andres went over safety and emphasized its importance, which showed on the trip! As we got into the water I was a little nervous, but very soon of getting in the rhythm it was SO fun! We even had two little ones riding with us and they had a blast! When we went to depart, we saw a couple other companies that had 50 - 100 people on 20 ish rafts, and it made me appreciate that we had a much smaller crew and a couple of boats - it felt more personal and getting to meet the fellow rafters. Monkey Park was really cool and unique place to have lunch, and it was so delicious! Also, I happened to be the only person that had bought the photo package (I am SO happy I did and that they offered it!) lots of photos, and think others that were in my photos wanted them, too! Really a great experience and a great team of people to do this with!
