The white water rafting trip down the Tenorio River was a family favorite

My 12- and 14-year-olds really enjoyed the exciting Class III-IV rapids. The scenery was beautiful with clear water, lush greenery, and cliffs. Our guide, Justin, connected well with the kids and kept them engaged and excited the entire ride. I personally enjoyed the stories he shared about Costa Rica and the local nature. We saw iguanas, birds, and even a tiny snake. The high-quality pictures available (extra cost) were a great way to remember the day, and the lunch afterward was lovely. (As a side note for future travelers, the drive back was quite rough, so hold on tight!)

Amazing tours with amzing people

We use this service to make different tours programmed, these guys are very helpful, they explained each of the places where we were. We did Scenic hiking and Tenorio Rafting, without a doubt it was a perfect combination of nature and adrenaline. Both places were incredible, very good service and the Costa Rican food is simply delicious. Our guides Mike and Esteban were great, very attentive, and very informed about everything we asked them. We had a very pleasant experience with this company, they are an excellent team.

Full Day of Unforgettable Activities (Zip lining, Tubing, Waterfalls, Hot Springs, Hike)

We met Remy on the beach of the planet Hollywood resort. He offered us a full day of excursions (we got to pick what activities we wanted to do). It was a lot cheaper than booking the exact same package through the hotel. The next day two other guys (Ronny and Esteban) picked us up and took us to the blue river resort. The whole car ride Ronny was informative and fun to listen to. When we go to zip lining we were the only ones of the course (the weather wasn't so great and the place was pretty secluded). It was a ton of fun (especially the Tarzan jump). We then had lunch which was delicious and authentic. Afterwards we went on a hike through the Dino area and got to see beautiful waterfalls and a river. We went swimming (as well we were pretty much the only people there). We then went on our "tubing" adventure which was in level 4/5 rapids! It wasn't exactly what we were expecting but an experience we won't soon forget. The team that took was tubing was great at their job and ensured we were safe and monitored at all times. After this we relaxed in hot springs and enjoyed a mud bath and sauna. Overall an amazing experience customized to what we wanted. I highly recommend this company!

White water rafting is a must! Unforgettable!

My husband and I went white water rafting with Daniel as our guide and it was an unforgettable experience! Completely worth every penny and it wasn’t even that expensive. Daniel was amazing and so fun! That day the water was high, so the rapids were intense, but it made it so much more fun. I always felt safe (scared at many times) but quite the adrenaline rush. I knew I was in good hands with Daniel as our guide. We also had a very tasty Costa Rican lunch afterwards. I HIGHLY recommend booking with this company. Even our driver, Harold, was awesome.
