Fun time in the Peñas Blancas River

mhzuniga, June 2023

We were with our young granddaughters (8-9) and they were so happy. The river was calm but at points class 1 rapids and our guide Saul made it so fun for them. We saw tons of animals. You hear and see the howler monkeys and the toucans. The chocolate ending was great. Recommend!

Excellent guides, well...

Nicola_S, Apr 2023

Excellent guides, well organised, fabulous experience!! We would recommend for families. The amount of wildlife we saw was amazing.

Highly Recommend

Kirsty_H, Mar 2023

Nice relaxing float down the river. We saw lots of wildlife which we would not have spotted without the guides. Definitely suitable for all ages and abilities. The chocolate tasting at the end was also a great addition. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Fun filled afternoon

Christina_N, Mar 2023

Our guide entertained us from the minute we arrived on the bus. We saw monkeys, sloths, crocodiles, bats and a variety of birds. The snack and drinks at the end were delicious and the lesson about chocolate production along with the tasting was an excellent way to wrap up the afternoon. I would recommend this.

Excellent for seeing animals

Kaley_B, Mar 2023

We saw a lot of local animals, and the guides were very nice and informative. We would recommend this safari float to all of our friends and family for the future.

Fabulous rafting trip for families!

lauren_g, Feb 2023

We had a fantastic time! The rafting experience was very enjoyable…we saw so many animals, and our guide Joshua was excellent with the kids! The local snack was delicious…even the kids enjoyed it (and they had a nice adult beverage to try as well). And the chocolate making lesson and tasting were educational and fun. Even the transportation was excellent. Definitely five stars, especially nature lovers and families!

Lovely relaxed glide down the river.

Anne_T, Feb 2023

A relaxed glide down the river with sightings of howler monkeys, crocodiles and many birds. This is not a white water rafting experience but very gentle which gives you the chance to see wildlife. It's suitable for all age groups. There are some snacks and drinks afterwards and a demonstration about chocolate making.

Relaxing and enjoyable ride!

Sue_D, Jan 2023

Amazing day

April_L, Dec 2022

Wonderful day! They were right on time for pick up. Our guide Bryan was wonderful! He was really knowledgeable and found so many animals- bats, toucans, monkeys, crocodiles, all sorts of birds and trees and really knew the history of Costa Rica. The snack at the end was great too. We brought our two kids with- 10 and 11 and they had a great time too. The river was nice and calm too- definitely good for families.

Best experience , wonderful guide!

Shulli_G, June 2022

Our guide, Martin, was passionate about the environment, explained so much more than about the animals, great english and a fun guy, highly reccomended 🙂 we were the first raft to surprise the animals in the morning so we saw soooo many, a huge croc right up close, an otter that caught a fish, loads of howler monkeys, a falcon and lots of eguanas and water birds. It was a true safari!

Thanks for your really nice comments, we hope you had enjoyed your trip with us. All of us are grateful for your company.

Great Experience With Amazing Organisers!

Natasha_A, Feb 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our Safari Float and saw so much wildlife! We were lucky enough to see sloths, crocodiles, turtles, howler monkeys, and many different species of birds on the way. Our guide Marcus was super-friendly and extremely knowledgeable in identifying all the species of animals and answering our questions about them. He was also great at spotting things that we would never have even noticed - very impressive! The snack at the end was also a lovely touch and exceeded our expectations! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting La Fortuna! Thanks for the great experience guys! :)
