We took the river float trip as we had last year and it was great again. Our guide Diego was full of information and humor as we went down the river and saw many creatures and enjoyed the cool afternoon breezes. Afterwards, there was a nice snack of plantains and cheese as we departed back to our AirBnB. This company really cares about its guests and can answer virtually question about Costa Rica.
We’re so happy to hear that you joined us again for the Peñas Blancas River Safari Float and that you had another great experience with us. It truly means a lot when guests choose to come back. Diego will be very pleased to hear your kind words. His knowledge, humor, and passion for sharing the nature and wildlife of the river always make the journey even more enjoyable. We’re also glad you enjoyed the local snack of plantains and cheese after the tour—it's a small way for us to share a bit of Costa Rican flavor with our guests. Thank you for your trust and for your generous words about our team. It was a pleasure having you with us again, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you visit Costa Rica. Warm regards, The WAVE Rafting Team
We did Wave Rafting as part of our transfer between La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio, and it was a fantastic way to break up the drive. Instead of just sitting in a van for hours, we turned travel day into an adventure. The team was professional, safety-focused, and a lot of fun. The rapids were exciting without being overwhelming, and the guides did a great job balancing adrenaline with clear instructions. We always felt taken care of. Everything was well coordinated — a delicious lunch at a local restaurant after rafting, luggage handled smoothly, timing worked perfectly, and we arrived in Manuel Antonio tired in the best possible way. Highly recommend if you want to make your transfer day part of the experience, not just transportation
We love hearing stories like yours. Turning a travel day into an adventure is exactly what our Raft & Transfer experience is designed for, so it’s wonderful to know it made your journey between La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio more memorable. Many travelers spend several hours simply driving between destinations, and we’re proud to offer an option where guests can break up the trip with a rafting adventure, enjoy the river, and still arrive comfortably at their next stop the same day. We’re very happy to hear that our team made you feel safe and well taken care of throughout the experience, and that the rapids, logistics, lunch, and luggage coordination all worked smoothly. Our goal is to make the entire day seamless so guests can simply enjoy the adventure. Thank you for highlighting this unique experience and for recommending it to other travelers. We hope to welcome you again on another river adventure the next time you visit Costa Rica. Warm regards, The WAVE Rafting Team
A massively exhilarating experience. More white water than we’ve experienced previously, but the kit was all in excellent condition and our guide Gustavo was hugely experienced and very calm. Our host on the bus, Jairo who also lead one of the boats was also fantastic.We felt we were in very good hands. A thoroughly enjoyable half day speeding through Costa Rica.
That sounds like an epic half-day on the river—thank you for describing it so well. We’re glad the conditions delivered a bigger white-water ride than you expected, and that the equipment and overall operation gave you total confidence. Gustavo will really appreciate the shout-out for keeping things calm and controlled, and we’ll pass your kind words to Jairo as well—he’s great at setting the tone from the bus to the river. Thanks again for choosing Wave Expeditions in La Fortuna/Arenal. We’d love to welcome you back for another run in Costa Rica.
From the pick up, the driving, the informative information given to us by Carlos our guide on the bus and our guide on the raft, everything was absolutely exciting. Carlos gave us all the necessary instructions needed to succeed on our adventure and we were not let down. We came down with no problems, stopped 1/2 way and were given the sweetest pineapple and watermelon as a snack, after which we proceeded down, saw a sloth, various iguanas and tons of birds. When we finished rafting we were taken to a farm to table restaurant where we were given their traditional food, which was delicious and the best coffee, followed by a shot of sugar cane and then a shot of sugar cane moonshine. It was a great adventure and would highly recommend and would definitely do it again.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and enthusiastic review. We’re thrilled to hear your entire adventure, from hotel pickup to the final toast, was filled with excitement, great service, and unforgettable moments. Carlos is an outstanding guide who truly knows how to prepare and support guests every step of the way. From clear safety instructions to spotting wildlife like sloths, iguanas, and birds, he brings the rainforest to life. We’re glad you enjoyed the mid-river fruit break and the farm-to-table Costa Rican lunch—fresh pineapple, local coffee, and a splash of sugar cane moonshine are some of our favorite ways to end the day. Thank you for the recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back for another wave of pura vida in La Fortuna.
We were travelling from Manuel Antonio to Arenal and Wave expeditions tour was perfect. We were picked up at our hotel in manuel antonio at 7am and had a 4 hour drive to the rapids. We were dropped off at launch point and were set up with gear. . All of our luggage was kept safe in the van by our driverIt was a little chaotic when we first arrived (got the sense that everything was very rushed and somewhat confusing.) But then we met our tour guide Moises who was amazing. He patiently explained how we should paddle and different instructions we should listen for. Rapids were exciting but never felt dangerous and Moises kept everything under control. He also pointed out a ton of wildlife during the trip. After rafting we had a place to change into dry clothes, get water or a beer and use the bathroom before they drove us to a restaurant in a farm that served a delicious buffet lunch of traditional costa rican food. After that, we were dropped off at our hotel in Arenal. Great way to make the most of a travel day. Special thanks again to Moises!
Thank you for this detailed and thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear our tour added adventure and ease to your travel day from Manuel Antonio to Arenal. Moises will be thrilled to know how much you appreciated his guidance, patience, and wildlife insights—he's truly one of a kind! We’re glad the logistics worked out and that you enjoyed the delicious Costa Rican lunch and smooth transfer. Hope to see you again for more Costa Rica adventures! The Wave Rafting Team
This experience was fantastic, the slightly more difficult section was exciting with the lesser waves meaning you are able to relax a bit and take in the scenery. You may even see some wildlife, we were lucky to see a Sloth, two Iguanas and a pair if Toucan. I highly recommend this trip. If you can get Momo as your guide you are guaranteed a blast.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time on the river and that the balance of excitement and relaxation made for the perfect adventure. Spotting a sloth, iguanas, and toucans is such a special bonus—Costa Rica’s wildlife never disappoints! And we couldn’t agree more—Momo is an incredible guide who knows how to bring fun and energy to every trip. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. Pura Vida! The Wave Rafting Team
We really enjoyed this trip. Everything was smooth. Our raft guide Argenis, did a great job leading us through the rapids. Lunch as delicious. Highly recommend this trip of visiting Arenal area.

Our white water rafting excursion was the highlight of our stay in Costa Rica! I have two teenage children and we all had so much fun. Our guide was awesome and when I accidentally fell out of the boat, he was able to quickly get me back in and continued through the rapids almost without missing a beat. I highly recommend this tour for excitement and fun!
Awesome Review!, Thank you so much for your nice comments, sure they will be very helpful for families traveling with kids looking for a Safe and family Friendly Costa Rican Adventure. We really hope to see you again next time. Pura Vida!. Wave Staff.
Excellent tour with amazing tour guides! A wild ride on the Rio Balsa and so much fun! Jose Oliverares was our driver for the entire day and had great energy for the long day and long drive after rafting and lunch to Manuel Antonio (5 hours). His cooler of cold drinks and upbeat attitude was very pleasant. He informed us about places we passed with a smile on his face and confident singing voice!
Thanks for sharing your River Story with travelers. We´re glad to hear that you enjoyed Rafting Class II-III at Balsa River. We agree Jose its a very professionals and passionate about what they do... we really love rafting and we loved to share it with you. Happy Costa Rican Holidays.
This was our first time white water rafting, and it was exhilarating! We did the Class 2-3 rafting + transfer from Arenal to Manuel Antonio. The guides were very meticulous in balancing the people in the boats, and made sure everyone had a safe but fun ride. Our guide (Georgio?) made us feel safe the whole time, remaining calm and giving clear instructions while we paddled furiously in the rapids. The team also made sure to point out interesting wildlife as well as information about the area. It was a long day between shuttles and on the water, but our driver Jose Olivares was amazing. We made several quick stops for food, photo-ops, and bathroom breaks on the way to our hotel in Manuel Antonio. He was a great driver, very friendly, and professional.
Thanks for sharing your River Story with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our Class 2-3 rafting + transfer from Arenal to Manuel Antonio.. We hope to see you again next time!. Pura Vida
