    An amazing day on the river in Costa Rica

    Louie_N, Feb 2026
    An absolutely amazing experience on the river guided by Carlos, and his amazing crew. Although the weather was working against us Carlos and crew was working with us. Plenty of wildlife and even getting to plant a tree along the river bank. I highly recommend this excursion

    Kayaking in the forest with Failan

    Ido_J, Dec 2025
    We had a great time kayaking in the forest with Failan. He was enthusiastic, thoughtful, knowledgeable and funny! Strongly recommended.

    Great paddle

    Stacey_C, Aug 2025
    We had a wonderful afternoon on the Rio Peña’s Blancas near La Fortuna. Our very skilled and experienced river guide Fi was terrific with our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 older teens). The river is beautiful with a quick current but the guide shows you where to navigate. We were amazed to see a variety of birds, sloths (very lucky) and howler monkeys. Delicious fresh fruit was waiting for us when we finished. Highly recommend this tour.
