Look no further-Do this tour and ask for Kat!
Wow! What an awesome tour!! Kat, our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a quirky, fun sense of humor. This tour is comprehensive, so if you don't have many days in Costa Rica... this is the one! You do a hike, then waterfalls, then hanging bridges. We saw wild monkeys, a boa constrictor and a wild boar. Amazing tour!!!

Highlight of our La Fortuna Trip - Highly recommend !!
We had an AMAZING time on the tour. Our guide was Carlos and he made it so fun and safe. Our original tour got cancelled because the rain made the water levels unsafe and luckily the team was able to quickly rebook us and it worked perfectly. Was definitely the highlight of our time in La Fortuna. And the whole operation was ran like a well oiled machine. Would highly recommend. Our photos were phone and hilarious. Carlos was so kind and funny and catered to everyone’s wants and needs while on the river. I can’t say enough. Thank you to the whole crew David our driver , Carlos and even Alan another guide.

This is an amazing...
This is an amazing experience and one of the best tours that we did in Costa Rica. The tour included hotel pickup and drop-off, really exciting rafting on a beautiful river, a break for fresh pinapple and melon, some wildlife sightseeing from the raft (we saw several sloths) and a very tasty traditional Costa Rican lunch after the rafting was finished. Our guide Tom was excellent throughout the tour, he was a lot of fun but took our safety very seriously and really put the beginner rafters on our boat at ease. This is a great tour, it is very professionally run and I would highly recommend it!

Great experience! Pure...
Great experience! Pure trek was so easy to work with, great at responding to any questions and the crew were fantastic at keeping everyone safe and having a great time! The first drop was the most intimidating because you have no idea what you're in for. Everyone in our family had a fabulous time and it's a unique experience that was a must do on our trip!

Adrenaline kick in the jungle
Fantastic experience, adrenaline, fun, nature and a super guide that always remains calm and gives one the certainty to be safe. I loved it from the beginning (entertaining busride) to the end (delicious lunch with foto show) i recommend this rafting adventure to beginners and experienced rafters.

10/10 Would let Elvis (almost) drown me again! 🌊🛶"If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet, and peaceful float down a serene river, keep looking. If you want to paddle until your arms feel like noodles while laughing until you cry, book with Elvis right this second. Thanks for keeping us safe, Jax! If I ever decide to intentionally go over a waterfall, I’m calling you."

Made Lifetime Memories
My son and I had the most incredible experience. The canyoning was better than we thought it would be. It was a lot of fun and the guides were funny, helpful and made everyone feel safe. The whitewater was equally as fun. Our guide gave us a great experience and even when my son fell out we laughed it off. It’s hard to get a 14 year old boy to be impressed, but he has been talking about the experience ever since.

Wild Ride!
Wow!!! Super exhilarating experience! The rapids were crazy! We laughed so hard during this excursion. Our guide was amazing at taking care of us! The put-in point is about 45 min from the meeting point, but it's worth it! One of our best excursions in CR!

Great experience! Jairo...
Great experience! Jairo was very informative of the expectations of the tour during the bus ride, and his photos of the experience came out incredible! Our raft guide was Esteban and he did a wonderful job navigating a group of English and Spanish speaking people during stressful moments. We had a scary experience in the raft where it got wedged under a rock, but navigated everyone to safety and we all enjoyed the rest of the experience! I have white water rafted before in other countries and this experience is very equivalent and fair-priced.
Be warned if you don’t like long bus rides, there is a fairly long bus ride to and from the experience. However, they do provide drinks after the experience and an opportunity to change out of your wet swimsuits, which was awesome!

We had a great time rafting! The guides were very friendly and made us feel safe in the raft. The class 2-3 were perfect for us as there were many exhilarating rapids and it ended with a relaxing float down the river where our guides pointed out various animals and birds to us. We had a small group so it ended up just being my husband and myself on the raft which was an amazing private experience! We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for some adventure and beauty in Costa Rica

Sarapiqui River Class 3-4 whitewater rafting
We had fantastic morning of white water rafting and a nice meal included. The drive of about an hour to and from La Fortuna was comfortable. The guides were great and included safety kayakers which I’ve never seen before. The rafting was about two hours of 3-4 level rapids with short floats between and a couple of stops for swimming and fresh fruit. It was quite enjoyable!

This tour was an amazing...
This tour was an amazing experience. As someone who is afraid of both heights and water due to not being a strong swimmer, I was nervous going in, but I would absolutely recommend it. The scenery throughout the tour was stunning.
The ziplining portion did feel a bit rushed, and the photo and video package for ziplining wasn’t worth the cost. However the rafting portion was incredible and truly the highlight of the day. Our guide Moi/Moises was absolutely amazing, full of energy, incredibly enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. He even pointed out wildlife along the way and let us take turns riding in the front like a bull, which was such a fun touch. He is truly a gem and I highly recommend requesting him if possible. The rafting photos were high quality, beautiful, and definitely worth purchasing.
