Our guide Fabian was knowledgable and friendly, along with the rest of the crew. This was my first time white water rafting and I enjoyed every moment. Althought we started our adventure in the rain, it didn't matter since you're going to get wet anyway. Enjoy the ride, but don't forget to look at the beauty that surrounds you. I... More

A very fun day. Action packed with class three rapids that roll into each other for about two hours straight. A safe crew guides you through this muddy river with lots of interesting wild life if you keep your eyes open and alert. Well worth the half day expedition. A very good photographer takes pictures of your day of fun... More

We just loved our experience with them! We travelled with two young kids (6 and 10 years old) and it were our first time rafting. All our way to the river the guide was giving us many details about Costa Rica and also doing some jokes to make travel more pleasant. Arriving there, they were all thoughtful and carefull with...

We did the 10 in 1 adventure with 11 and 14 year olds. We were hesitant to do the freefall but it was great for all. The hike is fun and definitely steep in parts. An awesome experience and they think of everything - the 2 meals plus fruit and snacks and ride made it complete. The people instilled confidence... More

We went white water rafting and had a good time. The river was not overly challenging for a retired couple. Our guide, Michael, was very good as was the safety guide. We saw toucans and other birds. Had a very nice lunch at the end of the trip. The start location is eay to find on the road to Manuel... More

They advertise 10 activities in one trip but it's more like 15 and they plan to add more. The activities were great. A pendulum swing over the creek, zipline to a waterfall and then drop into a pool of water (ice cold mountain water), repelling, and a few other things. It really was a lot of fun. A nice change...

Absolutely great rafting adventure on this river. Next time i'm going when the water level is higher so the guide doesn't have to get out and push us over the rocks. Guide was great and this group is A+++++.

I called Fabian and asked for the Naranjo...something exciting. They picked us up bright & early and took us to their base for breakfast, then up the hill and through some baeutiful back country. I asked where the other guests were and he said we were getting a private tour today. I couldn't believe it, we had a driver, our... More

Our two daughters ages 11 and 13 had a great time and can't wait to come back to Costa Rica! Fabian, see you in NY when you eventually... More
