Excellent guide
Jennifer_B, Sept 2022
The river float tour was very enjoyable, we saw many animals including an otter, howler monkeys, caiman and birds. Our guide Josue was really knowledgeable and friendly.

Excellent!, We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our Rafting trip.
Rafting is a must-do experience, even once in life, is an exciting but safe activity with the right company.
Our Guides are very knowledgable professionals and passionate about what they do.
Travelers rafting with us are in good hands.
Hope to see you back on the river soon.

Relaxed nature float
kickenandbrian, Feb 2020
This has been one of our favorite excursions so far in CR. A nice relaxed pace with a very knowledgeable guide made for a great float. A sloth, 2 species of monkey, lots of birds, a Jesus Christ lizard, just to name some of what we saw. We would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to slow down and enjoy nature instead of zipping through it..
