ORLANDO IS THE BEST!!

ORLANDO is hands down the BEST guide. He gave us all the ins and outs of the town and the best places to eat. He spent 10 minutes in the forest trying to find a poison dart frog just so we could see one. Our raft was filled with all young-ins so he took the most difficult (aka fun) routes through the rapids to give us the greatest thrill. You genuinely can’t ask for a nicer man or a better guide.

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic "best guide" recommendation! We are delighted that you had such an action-packed, thrilling time navigating the rapids with Orlando. He is an exceptional guide who always puts his heart into sharing our local wildlife, culture, and town secrets, and we will gladly pass your praise along to him. Come back and ride the waves with him again soon! Costa Rica Descents
