We had the funniest Rafting Tour Guido Immanol with us and were really lucky to see monkeys, sloths, Red frogs and even a tucan! In total we were busy from approx. 9am until 2pm. (Only minor criticism: I felt a bit rushed after getting out of the boats. There was barely enough time get changed before getting back on the van).

It all starts from the top. Danny the owner went out of his way to pick our family up from a hotel not on the pick up list. He is Pura Vida! Such a delightful man who runs quite a large operation and employs so many. Cooks,drivers , guides etc.. who are all so grateful and pleasant. Our guide Colon was superb on so many levels. Kept us safe ! Taught us about the area, wildlife, trees and made us laugh. Balsa River was a blast from the second we boarded the raft it was a thrill of a life time. SO many great rapids!!!

This rafting experience was so much fun! It was a bit more intense than I had anticipated, so if you’re looking for something slower then I wouldn’t recommend. The speeds were up and down though, and during the slower parts you can get out of the raft and swim in the water. The guides were all very friendly, great at giving directions while we were rafting, and fun to be around. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something more fast paced!
