Amazing adventure on the Naranjo!

Loredana_M, July 2022

We had an amazing time rafting in Costa Rica! Mel was fantastic, very experienced, accommodating and truly made the experience unforgettable. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a thrilling adventure!

Fun and thrill seeking

Lorelei, Nov 2020

This was a cool memorable experience. If you are a thrill seeker and don’t mind getting wet, this one is for you. It does require some work and i do recommend wearing goggles if you have them because the water can be rough and splash you completely (at times blinding as you do not always have time to wipe your face and recover before the next splash). The tour guide was amazing!! Very knowledgeable! Trust that you will completely be safe from beginning to end. A must do in Costa Rica.
