Adrenaline Rush Experience - Orlando and Jean Carlos took us on this tour and I had the best time and my favorite activity while here by far. There were wild rapids but I felt safe the whole time. I highly recommend going with this company. Book it now!

Don’t book anywhere else! 10/10 experience! - First of all, this was my first rafting experience ever and I was very nervous going into it. My boyfriend really wanted to do class V, so I sucked it up for him. I could not have been more safe than with Orlando and his team! Orlando is a veteran of these rivers and is a top notch guide. Jean Carlos was there for safety following us along in a kayak as well. They are both so experienced. Every time I almost fell out Orlando would grab me before I had the chance to actually fall out. He was on top of it & knew how to handle every situation on the water. On the way to the river, they taught us about everything we were passing. It was like our own private tour of the region. They even pulled over and spotted some howler monkeys for us. The rapids were so much fun & an enjoyable challenge. Definitely the highlight of our trip! We were educated on the ins and outs of the rapids, the commands, and everything else we needed to know. During the ride, they brought us to spots with waterfalls and even a spot we could cliff jump. When we got back to their “office,” which is a beautiful building for hosting that backs to their organic farm, they gave us a great lunch & time to relax. After we ate, they gave us a tour of the farm and taught us about organic agriculture. We got to process raw sugar cane, try it, and try some of their moonshine. I really have to give these guys a shout for such an incredible experience overall. We never felt like strangers thanks to their hospitality and their vibrant personalities. What you get for this package is far beyond what you would expect. They deserve 5/5 stars and then some.

Amazing rafting experience!!! - We booked last minute and the friendly service was amazing. The ride to the river took less than 1h and we felt like the ratio time to get to the activity/activity itself is very much worth it. Our guide Oswaldo definitely provided a safe yet very playful rafting ride! We would have stayed on the water longer if we could. The lunch was tasty, the quick tour of the farm and the sugar cane juice/moonshine tasting was a nice short addition to end the day.

Amazing day on Class 5 rapids. BOOK this trip for a true adventure! - My father and I had the best day with Jean and Auvelio! This was a full day excursion that took you through the most beautiful sights we have seen in Costa Rica. The hike through the jungle to get to river was amazing and an experience in itself. Once we started on the Class 5, our guides were extremely knowledgeable and kept us from falling on the class 5s. Also, we were able to see awesome wildlife, such as Monkeys, Scarlet Macaw’s and Toucans.

Exceeds expectations - You don't want to miss this tour, trust me. My girlfriend and I booked this tour and was provided driver/transportation, 2 river guides, snacks and the best experience ever, just us and the guides. We have previously been rafting in Switzerland. This was even better! Even though you probably can't compare the two places. The guides Aurelio and his brother are genuine legends! Clear and easy to follow instuctions and commands durng the rafting, emense local knowledge (History, the community, plants, animals ect.) They make you fell like you have been friends for years. It's hard to describe in words, but I hope the employer realizes that these guys are their weight worth in gold! Thank you for one of the best experiences ever!
