Better than imagined - Everything was beyond expectations! Kevin was our guide on the bus and had lots of local knowledge and we even stopped to look at different animals along the way. Jeffrey was our raft captain and he made the whole experience amazing, despite me falling overboard lol. By far our best Costa Rican experience! Absolutely recommend them!

It was amazing! I loved every second - The bus ride was nice, our guide was very clear when explaining how everything worked. And he provided an interesting and playful commentary throughout our ride. When we arrived we were met with an easy process to get ready for our experience and we left within in ten minutes. I really liked our guide and overall had an amazing time. I’ve done white water rafting before and this experience wasn’t super challenging. I got super wet and it was sprinkling off and on. The scenery was so beautiful and bugs weren’t an issue. The lunch when we got back was delicious and all the staff were great. I loved it all and have no complaints.

Experiencd - We had to do Category III/IV due to water problems but the staff was very accommodating and the trip was amazing. Much more than rafting, gave us coffee demonstration, made sugarcane juice etc. Was the best thing we did in Costa Rica. Highly recommend.

Best Rafting Guides in the Biz - We have rafted all over the place. By far, Moises was the best guide we’ve ever had. He’s an expert on the raft, but even better, he is engaging, entertaining, and full of fun. He made our day! After rafting, we enjoyed an amazing meal. Do not miss a chance to raft with Descent!
