Great family experience - This was a great experience. Our guide, Esteban, quickly noticed that my son loves birds and certain animals and he customized much of the knowledge he shared around that. My kids range from 6-12 years old and they all really enjoyed it. We saw lots of wildlife including crocodile, cayman, and howling monkeys and lots of rare birds and lizards among other things. The ride was enjoyable, safe, educational and very memorable. Highly recommend.

A great guided tour - The views were amazing. Time was taken to make sure that everything that could be seen was seen by all. Austin our guide was very experienced and made the river a relaxing and educational tour. Being a non swimmer this was really important, I would definitely recommend it to others. Our tour began on land with viewing sloths and countinued down the rio at a leisurely pace. Thank you, Austin and Costa Rica Descents.
