Dear Costa Rica Rios,

I wanted to improve my paddling skills on this trip. I definitely achieved that! Hats off to Dani for working with me for so long. Davis was a great model of how it's done. David sewed it all up! Dani did a great job of making the trees and birds come alive to us. Dani knew all of the birds! Davis was very open about his life here and I loved it. I thought everything was great. I LOVED the food and accommodation EVERYWHERE! Top notch, world class guides and perfect accommodations.

Dear Costa Rica Rios,

My biggest expectation was safety in the water and learning about Costa Rica. These were both met. Dani, Davis, David and Julien were all fantastic, friendly and encouraging all the time. They are impressive paddlers who are first and foremeost concerned with safety and fun. They also seemed to really enjoy the Costa Rican people and were always friendly and kind to them, especially the children. It was great to see. Thank you!! Also, thanks Jane for the lunch with you and Archie - it was nice to have some Mom time. :)

Dear Costa Rica Rios,

My biggest expectation for this trip was having exciting, adrenaline-rushing adventures. This expectation was not only met, but surpassed. Everyday was filled with excitement and balanced with fantastic opportunities to learn about the region and to spend time getting to know the fellow travellers and guides. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Costa Rica Rios. The guides were amazing! Danny was not only so knowledgable about the area, the rivers, the flora and fauna, the wildlife, the nightlife, and the culture. Stef was an amazing videographer snf photographer and captured all of the fantastic experiences. Davis, Julien, David, Walter and Arnaldo helped make the trip so much fun with their skills as guides as well as their stellar personalities. I was so very impressed with how accommodating and PATIENT everyone of the guides were. They all truly made the experience superb. It is virtually impossible to think of anything that could improve Costa Rica Rios' Week of Adventures. Every meal was over the top delicious! Every adventure was incredible! Every guide was terrific!

Dear Costa Rica Rios,

Our enjoyment of this trip was beyond any of our expectations. Each guide was kind, patient and willing to share about Costa Rica. We are sad to go - what wonderful people you have. Davis, Danny, David, Julien and Stef: They rocked!

Dear Costa Rica Rios,

The guides really highlighted my experience by telling us all about the plants and wildlife we saw and letting us play with snakes! They were also great at showing me the good lines so I could run everything. It was all awesome... I would stay longer if I could.
