Top Notch

Bonita_S, Jan 2026

Our family has done whitewater rafting before and we all agree that this is one of the best. From pick up to drop off, Christian and his team were top notch in the equipment, safety and knowledge of the river. The Balsa River was nonstop action with very little calm water. We had a blast and really appreciated all the little extras like a towel to dry off, fresh fruits and snacks and a delicious wood fire Costa Rican lunch. Pura Vida!

Best Whitewater rafting on the Pacific side

Marcos and his crew were amazing. Loved the trip start to finish. Highly recommend this one for both the first professionalism and fun vibe of this crew.

Absolutely fantastic activity and the team were excellent from start to finish This is a new company and we had a really personal experience rather than booking with one of the bigger companies we had the raft to ourselves This was our first time rafting and we felt safe and reassured but also had lots of Fun The snacks provided were a nice touch and the lunch was amazing - very authentic Costa Rican food Would highly recommend this company over the bigger ones for Sure!
