We came in last minute and the staff was really friendly and accommodating to get us quickly on a rafting trip that afternoon. Wolfgang, our guide and Vinny, on the other raft were both fun, friendly, and skilled at getting us down the river safely. Great time!

Our guide Max C was very entertaining without compromising safety. I have floated many rivers including class 3 and 4 s in Coast Rica and wanted to introduce my salon and grandsons to the pleasures of river rafting and this was an excellent ntroduction.

Thank you again for writing your review for us! We are so happy to hear that Max was both entertaining and safety conscious, those are the most important qualities that we admire in our river guides! Hopefully we'll get you all out on a river with us again soon!
