We had a great time....
We had a great time. Didier was a great host providing the overview. We were all beginners but our boat guide Carlos Segura made us feel comfortable and let the kids stay involved. The tempo was good with rapids broken up by areas of calm water to rest and the adventure came with a great fruit and lunch break at the end. We would highly recommend it to other families.

Wet and Wild!!
We had an incredible morning canyoning! The guides were fantastic and made sure everyone was safe! We got a breakfast burrito on our way to rafting, which was another incredible experience! Be prepared to get wet and stay wet! Closed toed water shoes are a must! We could purchase photos and video after for both activities too! It ended with an excellent lunch! Highly recommend! Pura vida!

Wild rafting experience
Wild experience! I have never tried white water rafting before, but had a great time. Our boat flipped over a few times, which for sure is a part of the fun, but be prepared to get a few (mild) bruises. The guide on our boat, Jorge, was very professional and set a positive vibe. The whole organising with transport back and forth from La Fortuna went smoothly.

Best experience of our trip!
We had a communication blip on starting location as the location didn’t match the text communications. We thought we had hotel pickup and Wave thought we were meeting there. It ultimately was just an unfortunate miscommunication and we missed the morning departure for Zip-lining. Wave worked hard to rearrange our day to ensure we could still experience both. They were very accommodating and this entire experience ended up being the highlight of our trip! We had a blast experiencing the rapids with our guide Kervin. He was fun and very personable. We would highly recommend their company and use them again. Because we had to shift our time, we had to make it back for zip-lining by 3p. Wave coordinated an alternative lunch and got us delicious boxed lunches. We made it to Go Adventure and enjoyed a fun experience zip-lining! The guides were phenomenal and our 8 year old was very attached to his guide that travelled the lines with him! He was nervous at first but his guide made him feel so comfortable and he LOVED the experience. We were so grateful to both companies and the guides. This will definitely be an experience we’ll reflect fondly on and cherish memories from forever. Thank you!!

This was a great tour....
This was a great tour. Our tour guide, Will, did a great job in terms of discussing the history and showing various flora/fauna. He was great at keeping things on track.
I would recommend hiking boots and water shoes for the hike and waterfall. We have kids with food allergies, and that was not an issue with the various lunch options.

So fun!
Carlos Was great. Our driver Mario was smooth and my husband who gets car sick felt fine which is HUGE!
Axel was our guide and did the entire trip in both Spanish and English for our group. He was amazing, request him! He was so kind and inviting and made the trip so much fun for us!!

Our favorite experience while in La fortuna
Our guide Kevin was outstanding. Made it a great experience. He even had bus stop along route to view a sloth. Have rafted before and the 2/3 rapid were exciting. What a great value, fresh fruit after and the lunch after tour was very good/huge. Coffee, juice. Fyi there is no dry bag available so no personal pic

White Wate Rafting like Pura Vida
My husband and I had a great time today white water rafting the Sarapiqua river with our guide Gabriel, and David, the safety kayaker.
They were both very friendly, and very experienced on the water, so rafting with them was a blast.
In the calmer river sections, Gabriel pointed out to us all the wildlife on the shores we would have otherwise missed,
We also saw a very exotic, large neonblue butterfly on our quick snack break.
The lunch afterwards was also very good with meat and vegetarian options.
Overall, we were very happy with this excursion.

Great family experience
It was a great experience. We were new to rafting and felt very safe with class 2/3 rafting. Our guide Alonzo was fantastic. He was professional and made our experience very enjoyable. My kids (ages 26,,22&19) all had a fun time. It is so nice to create such fun memories as a family.
I also appreciate that this excursion was able to provide us with a round transportation to and from our resort since we did not have a car.
There was also an extra perk of having an authentic Costa Rican lunch at the end of our rafting experience.
We were also able to buy some family photo and video from our experience, which was a great value totally worth it.
100% I recommend them!

Was such a fun experience, our tour guide was so amazing. Made sure to stop several time to see animals / bathroom breaks/ have restaurant suggestions ! The rafting itself was so much fun , our guide Orlando made this so much fun. After our activity we did the lunch and tour of the grounds to taste the sugar cane and coffee. So much fun would highly recommend the tour and our guide Orlando !!!!
