Wonderful and unique experience - This was such a wonderful and unique experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny and helped us spot so much wildlife. We loved seeing a Jesus Christ Lizard and so many birds and monkeys. Without a knowledgeable guide, it's hard to see all this fauna. The river tour was a special and peaceful way to explore the area!

Great tour guide - The river was pretty low but with lots of paddling we made it through. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the area and answered any questions we had. It was worth going. Saw a few animals, lots of birds but no sloths.

Terrific guides, great all-around tour! - Hector and José (Chino) were terrific guides. Even in the van ride before the tour they pointed out wildlife and pulled over so we could get out and take great photos of a two-toed sloth. The raft ride itself was smooth, relaxing, and chock full of plant and animal spotting. The kids (7 and 11) had a great time, which means the parents did too :)

Do yourself a favor and book this tour now - Infinity stars! This float trip was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! CJ our tour guide and Geovanni our driver were phenomenal. Our daughter requested to see a sloth, and they both worked until the very end to find one for her. They pulled off the road beside some trees and searched until they found one right before we arrived back at our hotel. CJ was the perfect guide- he provided excellent information while also respecting the peace and quiet of the jungle. He was very knowledgeable and even helped guides on other tours spot the creatures he found. The farm stop at the end was a highlight as well. Their banana bread is the best we’ve ever had. Thank you all for a wonderful trip!

Don't high five the monkeys! - The included snacks were fresh from a local farm and very good. We saw a lot of wildlife, including sloths, monkeys, iguanas, different birds, and lizards. Our guide, Jose, was super friendly and knowledgeable. Trust the title; they will bite you if you get too close.
