Fun and not really scary at all. All the guides were friendly! Lunch was as included and was pretty tasty!
Nice blend of chalenging and beautiful scenery.
We did rafting on the beautiful El Chorro. It was really a great experience in a beautiful canyon and river. Thanks to the whole team of Amigos Del Rio for their humour and professionalism, very attentive to the security. Jesus was our leader, great leader of the raft. Would definitively recommend it !
Great experience on El Chorro. Beautiful setting and descent along the Naranjo, a canyon that opens to the end. Super friendly and competent guides, constant attention to the safety of all. Thank you to Jesus who was our boat captain. Strong sensations in the rapids. On top 👍
outstanding tour guides Jeison Martinez took me and my 12 grand daughter under her wings when I told him she was a little nervous. All the tour guides were amazing, happy, extremely good at making sure we maintained our safety. We had a great photographer, pineapple and cookie snacks along the way. After the beautiful morning on the water, we headed back and all had an amazing Costa Rica meal that left us satisfied. Five Star review for this tour.
This was great! It was my first time and it was manageable. The rapids were not aggressive so I felt safe. Great place for beginners or first timers.
Amazing staff made the adventure for our 23 person group dynamic and exciting. Exceeded our expectations!! Loved the comic humor and the insight on the surroundings. 10 out of 10!!
Had a great time rafting through the white Costa Rican waters. JC, Juan, Luis and Kenneth make a great team that kept us well informed, well prepared and well entertained. The experience of a lifetime! Will be recommending this to anyone who visits Quepos !
Very good experience, it was very fun and adventurous. The guides were so nice. I highly recommend it for families who love adventure and nature
Great tour with amazing people and delicious food! I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. The staff was very professional and responsible, and Jesús was an excellent guide.
