We would book this tour exactly the same way again!
That was a huge amount of fun and a great experience - for us a highlight on our fourth time rafting. Greatly organized, very nice, good-humored, and confident guides, with whom we felt safe and with whom it was really fun. In addition, there were fruit snacks and a delicious lunch. A photo service was also offered at a fair price (definitely book it!). Full marks from us, we would book the tour exactly the same way again!

Best adventure in Costa Rica
Fun and safe. The whole team was great. We did the class 2 and 3 rapids, great intro for first timers. We had a halftime, on land fruit break. Had a little swim time off shore and holding on the raft in calmer waters. We had several sections of rapids and calm waters. During calm waters we saw lots of igauanas, birds, bats and slothes which the guides pointed out for us. Our guide felt out our excitment level and so he made out raft do 360 spins and backwards approaches which added to the fun. We had a delicuois lunch back at the compnqy resturant and got to pet amd feed the animals (goats, cow, donkey) in the back. The whole trip was 5 hours. Uriel was our guide and Warren was thr kayak photographer. I highly recommend this company.

Highly recommend this day-tour!
Had a very pleasant day with Green Vacations. Pick-up was right on time, the guide first took us to Arenal Hanging bridges, took his time to spot animals and take some picture of them through his lens. The volcano hike was a nice experience as well. The waterfull is certainly very nice! Would recommend if you need a tour of the higlights in La Fortuna.

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.

An unforgettable experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible experience!
We loved the rafting! We enjoyed it very much from beginning to end. Everything was super well organized and at all times we felt safe and in very good hands.
We want to especially highlight our guide, Braulio Machillo, who was fantastic. He made the whole tour super fun, explained everything perfectly to us, and made us feel very safe throughout the entire experience. You can tell he knows perfectly well what he is doing and, in addition, he has great energy.
It has been one of the best experiences of our trip to Costa Rica. We loved it and we recommend it 100%! 🌊🚣♀️🇨🇷

Day of aquatic adventures
We had an excellent day with Jeremy and Diego, two very enthusiastic and friendly guides.
With our 3 teens, we loved the river tubing, very funny!
The afternoon was also very entertaining with the hike up the river to the lioness waterfall. There, we were able to swim and try to swim against the current. On the way, we spotted an owl and some bats.
Great family moments!

Carlos and Alan were...
Carlos and Alan were absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful throughout our rafting experience. This was our first time rafting, and they made sure it would be an unforgettable experience.
Initially, we chose a rafting level that was too challenging for beginners. After understanding our experience level, they wisely suggested that we downgrade to an easier level. It turned out to be an excellent recommendation! After experiencing the easier route, we realized that the original level would have been far too difficult for us as first-time rafters.
We really appreciated their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine concern for our safety and enjoyment. Thanks to Carlos and Alan, we had a fantastic and memorable rafting experience. Highly recommended!

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!

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...
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

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!!

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!
