Super Fantastic Experience!
This tour was our last Costa Rica experience before heading back to the US. Out of all the things we did in this beautiful country, the water rafting with this company was the BEST!!! A very qualified and friendly staff took care of us from beginning to end. The full course Costa Rican lunch they served was delicious! Of course, the rapids were fantastic!!!!!!!!! Well worth the cost! Thank you for making our Costa Rica vacation such a memorable one!!!!!
