Awesome staff, beautiful location and the water was perfect. We had be of the most amazing guides. Very knowledgeable about the river and chose great lines in some of the higher class rapids.
United States of AmericaGreat staff!! And being surrounded by young people from all over the world, bright and optimistic, interacting with them over meals and rafting - really priceless!!
United States of AmericaWe had an amazing time here. Johanna was very helpful in setting up our trip including transportation. We Rafted in with Louis as our Guide. He was very polite and accommodating. After lunch we did the ziplining over the canyon which was amazing. It’s a good amount of cardio hiking there so make sure you are in decent shape if you’re not a teenager anymore. The hike through the jungle was great though. After that we went back for happy hour and dinner. The food was excellent, and the rest of the staff was extremely nice and accommodating. They cooked some of the best food we had in all of Costa Rica. The next day after a great breakfast, we rafted out which was tons of fun! I would do it again in a heartbeat! I've never seen our 17-year-old smile so much in her life. Oh and the showers are private. Not sure why others said differently. Everything was very clean too!
United States of AmericaVery remote, romantic & simple. Quiet & relaxing just what we wanted. We loved the customer service and staff. They were very accommodating and worked with our special requests. Fantastic experience
United States of AmericaThe property was beautiful. It gave us a real taste of the jungle! The property was well manicured and the lodging was ideal for an eco-friendly resort! Moises was an exceptional cook, hiking guide, and river guide!
United States of AmericaStunning location, incredible experience that lets you switch off and relax in nature. Cool walks and waterfalls! Rafting was very fun. Bring books for your downtime.
United KingdomLike I said, just everything was absolutely brilliant! It was the first time rafting for me and my wife. From the first minute on it was a wonderful experience. Personal pickup, beautiful pure nature, stunning location and the guide(s) unbelievably friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend a 2day stay or even longer. The price... it’s not cheap , but absolutely worth it. We got more than we expected! Thanks Kirk and the whole stuff for that experience! But the biggest thanks goes to our tour guide Ronny!!!
GermanyReal nature experience! The environment around the lodge is so beautiful! The rafting was super, especially with instructor Mau, who learns you how to raft real quick, takes care of the safety and is funny. Good fresh food! Very friendly staff.
BelgiumIt was amazing. Loved the houses in the middle of nowhere. Great rafting, nice walks to waterfalls and luis was an awesome guide.
