Best trip ever, great company

Jonas_Z, Jan 2022

We booked the rafting half day trip and it was the highlight of our time in the area! The tour operator company was really good, the guys were very good in ensuring everyone is safe throughout the ride. It was extremely fun on the River! After the ride they offered us a lunch/snack and showed us how to make sugarcane juice. The food was delicious! When we got home, they had sent us pictures from the trip. All in all the best experience, I really can only recommend it and would chose them again if I wanted to do rafting again!

Luis was an awesome instructor. The views are spectacular, as well he really does provide you a plethora of knowledge on the local history and wildlife. If you can afford the time, go for the full day tour. The meal provided was better then most of the restaurants I visited during my stay. If you have a sense of adventure, you can not skip out on this. I am definitely going back for more.

This smaller, family-owned company was awesome! We were two families with a range of rafting experience and we decided to do the full day Class III/IV. David, Stanley, and Tonio (two of whom grew up on the Sarapiqui) were our guides and they were fantastic! i can't recommend them highly enough.
