Unforgettable experience - I was not sure what company to use to book my rafting experience because there are so many companies available. Jason, the water sloth, was our guide and he was very professional and made sure me and my family were comfortable and knew what to do. He was also very knowledgeable of the area and helped us spot many wild animals. It was a lot of fun! We also had a lunch with wonderful local food after we were done. I completely recommended this company.

Great rafting trip - We went with a large group of 13 people which included five children that ranged from 6 to 10 years. They provided us with three experienced guides. Our group went with victor and he was an excellent guide. The rafting was really fun. Victor also spotted a sloth, toucans, poison dart frog, iguanas, lizards and multiple different birds. The lunch was good. Highly recommend!
