Best family white water rafting experience - This experience was beyond amazing. Our guide, Jeffrey, was so experienced and made it fun for our whole family. Level 3 with an 11 and 13 year old was perfect. If there is one activity not to miss while in CR, it’s this one. Highly recommend.

Our favorite excursion in La Fortuna! - This was our favorite excursion in La Fortuna and one of the highlights of our trip! This company’s service exceeded our expectations. They communicated with us at the time of booking. They also notified us 24 hours before our excursion through What’s App the exact time of their arrival. Alberto was the friendliest driver of our trip and our rafting guide, Adrian, was outstanding. He made the experience fun and safe. The rafting trip ended with an amazing traditional lunch. The company asked ahead of time if there were any dietary concerns and were able to accommodate them for lunch. Feel free to bring a change of clothes to leave in the van while you are rafting. There is a dressing room and showers available after the rafting portion if you would like to change/shower before lunch. This is a must do in La Fortuna and with this tour company. Hope you get to spend it with Alberto and Adrian!

I will never forget this! - Friendly, funny guides and nice transport. We had a lot of fun and adrenaline and the food was great! Good quality material and we had the nicest and fastest boat of the river :) at the beginning we were afraid for falling down but at the end we only wanted more action!

Rafting and lunch in La Fortuna - Orlando and Elvis were our guides, and provided us with the proper amount of care and jokes! We loved the rafting in Rio Balsa, learning about Costa Rican fauna and culture, and getting treated to a delicious Tico meal! This experience made our stay in La Fortuna- ¡muchísimas gracias y Pura Vida!!

Exciting adventure - We really enjoyed our first river rafting experience ever. Our guides Carlos and Jeffery were very knowledgeable and fun. Jeffery was our guide and instructor in a 4 person raft. He helped us navigate class 2 and 3 rapids with ease. There were lots of laughs and everyone was thoroughly soaked by the end. The photographer that accompanied us, took some wonderful photos to capture the moments. Well done guys! 👍👍
