Much better than anticipated - This was brilliant, our guide Moises guided us through some spectacular scenery and quite a lot of rapids.
Definite 5 stars from us and would truly recommend.
Our 13 year old teens loved it.

Very nice raft tour with top guidance. - A well-organized tour with accompanist Didier. He gave top explanations with humor. We had EN our adult chin DER EN and I was afraid that the choice to do class 2 and 3 would be a bit too easy because there were also many families with small children. But our rafter Edwin has made it a party with plenty of exciting moments! Nice also that good pictures are taken while rafting.

Fun experience - It was so fun. Our tour guide Carlos Rasales was great and kept us in the raft… when needed. He also pointed out some wildlife for us.

Head banging water lovin - Carlos Rosales was amazing super funny and a great overall guide. He helped one of our rafters get back on the edge every time and was good on checking in with us especially after one of us bonked our head pretty hard. He was great at pointing out animals and facts about the area

rafting with teenage son - White water rafting with this company was recommended to us by a family we met on this holiday and it didn’t disappoint! Just the right amount of adrenaline and fun, while still feeling safe and very professionally run. Special mention to Imanol who was our guide who picked us up and was on our bus journey.. very fun but also very informative. Extra special mention to William our raft guide… they really know their stuff these guys, and William made sure our trip down the river was extra fun and exciting! Half way there was a stop for tropical fruit, prepared on an upside down raft! Afterwards there was a delicious lunch back at base, and then a lift back to our hotel. An excellent way to spend the day… highly recommended!
