A must do for anyone visiting La Fortuna! - We had an absolute blast on this rafting trip! Literally SO much fun. The river was FLOWING HARD and made for quite an adrenaline rush! Carlos Baskin (I think that was his name) led our bus tour and he was really wonderful and funny. Rodrigo was our boat guide and he did a fantastic job. Honestly the people that my husband I got put in the boat with were not the best listeners but Rodridgo did a good job to keep us safe. He did the best with what he bad to work with as they hadn’t rafted before. There could be slightly a bit more of a safety and instruction tutorial at the beginning. It is kind of mass chaos with everyone getting in the water. You kind of just learn as you go.
We had so much fun and this was a huge highlight of our trip. The coffee and juice at the beginning was a perfect way to start the day and the lunch was a wonderful way to end it.
We would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone traveling in the area.

Jader is Jack Sparrow! - Jader/Yader was very knowledgeable and pointed out different animal species we saw along our route. He was an amazing captain! Henry who drove the bus got us there safely.

Bolsa River Bobbing - Trip was amazing! Julio was our guide and made the trip even more fun and exciting with his energy. He guided us down the rapids skillfully and even pointed out sites along the way. A surprise treat was he even found a couple of sloths hanging out during our short break. All in all with the river adventure, travel and food included it's a really great deal and amazing way to spend the day
