Amazing experience from start to finish. One of the guides, Pablo, along with the driver, picked us up at our hotel. Pablo was friendly and knowledgeable. We picked up a couple of other groups, headed to the main office and filled out our waivers and then headed out. All of the guides were friendly and helpful. Once we arrived at the launching site they helped us all gear-up and made sure everything fit appropriately. They walked us through the directions they would give us while rafting along with all safety info. Pablo was the guide for our raft and he made the experience fantastic. He was funny and very knowledgeable. Giving us info on wildlife we saw in between big rapids. We stopped partway down the river for a water and snack break. The rapids were great and Pablo handled them like the pro he is. Once we finished rafting we went back to the office for a delicious lunch and then they took us back to our hotels. They also had a photographer kayaking along with us with the option to purchase pictures after our experience. I would 100% recommend this tour!

A very fun 4 hour experience. The rafting was great and the price was reasonable. Our guide Leandro was amazing. Very knowledgeable and a super experienced rafter/kayaker. My son and I enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend.

I booked a tour for my husband and he was never picked up. They claimed they messaged me through this platform that they were not going to run the tour because they need a minimum of two ppl and offered him other options to other rivers, which we would’ve been fine with. She claimed that she was going to send me screen shots of their messages to us as proof and never did because they don’t exist. My inbox is empty. Then she changed her story and said it was because my husband wasn’t there at 7:40am. The receptionist said nobody showed up or tried to call him. The booking pickup said 8am. Very disappointed.

Such a great experience! So, so much fun! I was nervous, but safety was a priority and the guides are very easy to trust. Loved the intensity of the rapids and the knowledge/expertise of the guides.

Highlight of our trip. Long drive to the entry point of the river but wasn’t bad. The actual rafting was amazing wide range of laid back and intense. The tour guides were phenomenal putting safety as there #1 priority especially our raft leader Pablo. Our first time rafting and it was unforgettable. Highly recommend.

It was awesome! All of the guides were fun, friendly, and kept us safe on the river. We had a great time!

The rafting experience was very seamless. The rafts are for smaller groups and the waters are intermediate but nothing too extreme. Wear clothes that will get soaked, and need strapped shoes that will get soaked. The lunch was average typical food. The guides were great! There is a photo option for after but they don’t push you to buy it.

Great company. They did everything they could to make our boat trip. Safety was a top priority so don't worry or hesitate.

Our guide was Josue and he was amazing. He was so much fun and interactive. Very knowledgeable and shared many things we didn’t know.

I had an amazing time with my friends. We were picked up at our hotel. Our guide/captain (Keneth) gave clear instructions prior and during rafting. The rapids were steady. Never a dull moment. I felt safe and had a blast on the Naranjo River!!

This was a great adventure! Bus to pick up at hotel was on time. Guides were great! Safety briefing thorough… we needed it as we had two fall from our boat. Kenneth (safety kayak) got them safely back into our boat. Ulises was the perfect guide. Nice mid river stop for fresh fruit, nice lunch at the end. Would highly recommend!
