Costa Rica Top Adventure with Decents in La Fortuna!!! - Orlando and his team were AMAZING!!! I had never been rafting before and he was so patient and good with all levels that were in our rafts! The white water rafting and the organic farm were the highlight of my trip. Can’t wait to come back again soon for another beautiful adventure!

Orlando and Christian provided a memorable experience! - Orlando and Christian made us feel safe and at ease. There was moderate rain and the rapids looked rather juicy, and my kids (8 and 10) naturally felt apprehensive. Our guides were confident and funny, so we were able to enjoy the tour without worrying about safety. We paddled the Penas Blancas. We spent ~60-90 minutes on the water; and this was plenty. The first half was pretty bumpy and thrilling. The second half was calmer. The safety guide took photos... well worth $40 for the package.

Orlando greatest guide in the water. - Orlando is the greatest white water rafting guide anywhere! He made the experience incredible and had control of the situation at every bend in the river! Saw our first sloth on this trip! And the meal at the end was FANTASTICO!

Family team work adventure! Safe and fun! - We were picked up on time and as we took the 45 min. to where we put in our raft the tour guide told us some good places to eat and about the scenery. We were a little scared about how safe our expedition would be with 3 children (10-14yo) but we felt 100% safe. A man took our photon a kayak and he did a great job, they cost $40 extra. After the adventure we had a nice place of dessert breads and hot chocolate. It was nice! Being a towel and a change of clothes!!
