Ricardo was a great guide. Trip was easy, informative, and fun. Saw monkeys, iquanas, and lots of birds. No crocodiles, however.

What a pleasant surprise! We were picked up at our hotel and rode in the back of a truck to the Sloth Farm, walked through the farm and saw sloths (YAY!) and then climbed into our kayak for a serene paddle along the river to the sea. Along the way our young guide pointed out many birds and plants. We were the only folks on the river, and the only folks on this tour and the birds put on a special show for us, I think. We rested and refreshed ourselves with fresh pineapple when we reached the ocean. The beach is not accessible by road so again, we were alone. We then paddled back and rode in the truck back to our hotel. A most enjoyable late afternoon!

The folks at the office in Samara were very helpful (and friendly) in making reservations. Alex was the guide and was amazing. He knew the river so well and frequently pointed out the birds and animals. River otter sighting was the best. With all the rain the river current was strong, but the rafting experience was easy. I would highly recommend this trip for those interested in the ecology of Costa Rica and who are looking for a fun and relaxing adventure. Even better if Alex is your guide!
