Loved it- but much more physically demanding and intense than expected! - I booked 10 of us- my siblings and their spouses, age 62 to 73 for the class 2 and 3 rapids. 6 of us are large and tall seniors- one is 6’6” and 260# Our experiences varied depending on the guide we got. Each guide was unique and fun in different ways- we had to wait for 40 minutes while Chamo finished leading another group, but he was a fun relaxed guide and my siblings had a great time with him. My group had Graevin who was more intense, yelling orders to“get down, get back in position, rapido , faster, forward, back” , etc. He pointed out wildlife and trees along the way. Both guides got us thru safely and all of us had a great time! The class 2 rapids were much more wild and intense than expected, and for several of us large seniors- squatting “down” low in the bottom of the raft and popping back up again and onto the side of the raft to row again quickly was very difficult. Once we ended up in a tumble of bodies on the floor of the raft, laughing as we tried to get limbs and oars untangled. We didn’t flip and no one fell out, thank heavens, and it was thrilling, we all got soaked, but it was more stressful and physically demanding than expected. My 73 year old sister and her husband were sick so they decided not to go which was a blessing because they were not physically up for this challenge. They would not refund their money which was frustrating. The fruit provided half way was so sweet and delicious, the lunch was fabulous, the tour of the farm was informative and fun. Christian was awesome as the photographer and leader and we have fun memories and photos to remember our day. I highly recommend this tour!

White Water Rafting Tour - The white water rafting was amazing! We went with a group of 4 and the kept us together. Our guide Chamo was very funny and knowledgeable. We felt very secure with him guiding us. He was also very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and things to do and gave us a lot of information and helpful advice. The food after the tour was delicious.

Adventure of a lifetime - This tour was honestly the highlight of my life. I had an amazing time we were told “other” KEVIN was the best!! And he absolutely was he made this Experience FLAWLESS our group was the only ones not to end up in the water. He had extreme patience kind and clear words. To begin with the main office has WiFi and waiting for the pickup was nice and the area was beautiful lots of room for waiting. We spent 2 hrs on the river which don’t let that scare u it goes quick!! After one hour, they stopped for a break and give you pineapple or watermelon. Then you continue your path down the river smooth sailing after the second half you’re taking back to the main office where they prepare your traditional Costa Rican dinner followed by a tour of the farm located In the back which we had homemade Costa Rican moonshine, followed by sugar cane. I would rebook in a heartbeat and SOOOO glad I did it.. BOOK THIS NOW
