We had a blast! Our guides were entertaining, and yet practiced extreme safety practices. The equipment was all in great shape so we felt very safe. After the river, we stopped for fresh fruit and a very good lunch when we returned back to Manuel Antonio. Everything about the excursion was top notch; I cant say enough about how wonderful our tour guides were.

This was a great day out. The drive to the river was fairly short. Ulises looked after us in the raft. He was encouraging and safety conscious as he took us over some exciting rapids. Our 12 year old daughter loved it. We appreciated the chance to hop into the water to drift down the gorge. Beautiful surroundings.
Highly recommended.
