This is not a lazy river. Expect a fun and exciting experience. The guides were fun and makes the tubing experience flowing non-stop. We stopped once to jump off a cliff and then continued tubing down the river before heading to the end. At the end of the tubing experience we observed sloths, pineapple groves and hollering monkeys. The lunch was decent, it’s a typical dish. If you drive to the location yourself, plan to arrive an hour early, there is a short hike where you can get a quick dip into the river before the tubing experience and get some photo sitting in the manageable rapids. I highly recommend this if you want a fun time.

This experience was so fun! The guides did an excellent job of keeping it fun but safe and we loved it. We did the tour with lunch included and the lunch was perfect before going down the river. My teen was so thrilled at the end when the guides took us to the part of the river where we exit and she got to jump off a bridge into the river.

Really fun, beautiful setting with helpful friendly guides. Lovely lunch included. Did this with a 8 & 10 year old who say it was there best day of the trip!

One of the highlights of our trip. Good staff but be warned the road leading into the hq for the tour is unpaved. Would definitely do this again.

Fun experience! Our guides did a great job of keeping everyone safe on the river! We saw howler monkeys in the trees. If you book the 1 pm trip and want lunch before the trip - arrive early. If you don’t arrive early, you can still get your meal at the end of the trip. Lunch is really good! If you wear glasses to see, it would be good to have something to secure them. Taking anything with you (even in a dry bag) is not really useful. There were plenty of kids on this trip and all were kept safe. That said, I would not be comfortable taking a child on this trip. You will be disappointed if:
- You want to face forward for the entire trip.
- You want to stay with a person(s) during the trip.
- You want to stop to look at animals.
- If you are cold natured, and it rains, it might be too cold for you.

Great experience! Started at the meeting point and driven to the start for tubing! Really great river, super guide, felt safe and was an awesome adventure. Thanks to our guide, Anthony, who looked after us (especially our 5 year old (who also had a great time)).

Wonderful from start to finish. They accommodated our late arrival due to our flight coming in a day late. The guides were exceptional and we all had such a phenomenal time, kid particularly enjoyed jumping into the river off a high side/cliff. Highly recommend. And lunch was great at the end too. So friendly

This was sooooo much fun.
The weather was a little sketchy - so much rain. We floated on Dec 3rd & it was between pouring and misting. Once you're in the tube and on the river, you don't even care. It's so much fun. Antony was an amazing guide. He knows the river so we'll and picks the lines just right. Don't skip this experience!!

It is stated that the maximum group size is 12, but our group was 30+ ... This ensures that the instructors are not relaxed, but also that you are more concerned with the people around you than the beautiful nature and the tubing experience.

Lamentamos que su experiencia no estuvo acorde a sus expectativas sin embargo nuestros grupos no estan restringidos a 12 personas, puede ir desde 1 sola persona hasta 35, nuestros guias aman su trabajo y lo ejercwn apasionadamente claro que con grupos mas grandes hay mas exigencia pero nuestros guias son reconocidos por ser muy buenos en lo que hacen, finalmente noostros tambien ofrecemos las opciones de giras privadas para personas que no queiren compartir espacio con otros, gracias por su comentario
