The experience was amazing, but what makes or breaks the trip is your tour guide. Our guide, Roberto Chizo, made the whole thing so much more enjoyable, and from what I could see, everyone there loved their guide as well. The whole ride is amazing, and the fruit/meal they provide is all divine. It is a great way to spend your day.

I recently went white water rafting and had an incredible experience, thanks in large part to our guide, Reyner Tucan. Tucan was awesome—he was not only a great guide but also made everyone feel safe throughout the entire trip. His expertise and calm demeanor ensured we all had a fantastic time. Reyner's enthusiasm and ability to keep the group engaged and entertained made the adventure even more memorable. Highly recommend this trip, especially if you get Reyner as your guide!

It was so much fun! I fell out of the raft but it made it even funner. Our tour guide known as Tucán was awesome, he kept doing backflips.
Totally recommend them :)

Our rafting guide Alejandro Fox was the best! This is easily one of the coolest things me and my boyfriend have done. Alejandro was super funny and always kept us safe, this was our first time white water rafting and we had a great time. Fruit & meal included was terrific (pork chops were an A+!) Our favourite part was floating down the river on our backs when the river was calm. Pura vida!!!
