One of the most fun rafting experiences with our guide Juan. He made us all feel very safe while asking if we wanted it more intense or calm. We chose intense and he certainly delivered. The pictures were amazing too, would highly recommend and the food was delicious. Go with the chicken

This was an amazing trip and we had an amazing guide. The entire time we felt safe, but we still had an adrenalin rush the entire time! I can't wait to do this again in the future.

Awesome experience. It is a lot of fun. Be prepared for the intensity of the river. The guides are great as they prepare you for the highs levels of the river.

Amazing rafting company.

This was the best adventure we have ever done!! We want to do it again!! Nicholas and Mario were the best tour guides we have ever had. Our boat flipped over and that's one thing that I would not change. Made the experience a blast. The tour guides were very responsive and made us feel safe.

Best.Trip.Ever.

We had the best trip white water rafting down the Naranjo River! Jairo was our raft guide and Nick was our tour guide. They were very patient and safe with one of our riders who had never been before and was extremely nervous. She was smiling 5 minutes into the ride!! The rapids were constant and intense but fun! We saw several birds, plants, and a boa constrictor. Jairo got out of our raft and walked it back up just so we could see the boa sleeping in the tree!! We were fed a typical Costa Rican breakfast before and a lunch after which was so good! Everyone was nice and happy- you could tell they love their job!! Definitely recommend!

Nature tour and raft trip for all ages
