We had an amazing experience with our guide Diego. He was extremely patient through the whole experience and the rapids were astonishing. Going through the rainforest was incredible. Diego spotted monkeys along the way. The rapids were so fun and the views were breathtaking. After we went rafting, we came back and had an amazing meal. The food was authentic and fresh. Thank you to Diego, our photographer, the driver, and all the people who made Costa Rican food. I would highly recommend.A fantastic, full of fun experience of water rafting. The guides are friendly and make things very enjoyable while keeping it safe and maintaining a great trip. Fruit stop in the middle and the launch were tasty with plenty of food for everybody.

We wanted to do the class 4-5, but rains made it too unsafe. We did the 2-3 Balsa instead, and still had a lot of fun. Also saw two sloths along the way, but no monkeys. (but its always possible) The daily damn release makes this a consistent river to raft, regardless of weather. This is enough action for most, from top to bottom. Little chance of falling out, and if you do, not very dangerous. Our 12 year old loved it, although she (and certainly us) could have handled more. But it was far from dull.What a fantastic experience my family and I had today. Andres (Coto) was our guide. It was my wife, my two teenage children, and myself.

What a fantastic experience my family and I had today. Andres (Coto) was our guide. It was my wife, my two teenage children, and myself. The rapids were the perfect blend of adventure, excitement, challenge, and relaxation all mixed into one day. This was a fabulous way to see the beauty and nature that Costa Rica have to offer. The fruit buffet, the swim, and the lunch at the end were all cherries on a sundae that was already fun and enjoyable for the entire family. We had never been white water rafting together before and this was the perfect level of rapids. The guides are fun, informative, polite, and helpful. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the Arenal area.We really enjoyed our first whitewater rafting adventure. Our guide, Osvaldo, was funny, knowledgeable and very patient with this nervous mama. You won’t regret it!
