A lifetime experience: Safari Float - Safari float tour was perfect. We were able to see a wide range of wild life animals and birds during our trip. Our captain Greivin was very knowledgable, kind, professional, and kept the raft smooth throughout the trip. Parents and grandkids both had a wonderful experience. After the trip we were served with delicious Costa Rican food and drinks. Best trips so far for La Fatuna! Greivin is the BEST!!!

Beautiful jungle float - We loved our jungle float! Warner was an excellent guide. He spotted numerous birds, capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and native plants. It was a beautiful day. We also enjoyed the delicious food at the end of the trip. The tour of the farm was fascinating with many fruits, baby pigs, goats and herbs. Highly recommend!

The best tour that we have been on in Costa Rica - Absolutely wonderful, our tour guide, Mr Greivin, was attentive, detailed oriented and courteous throughout the tour, keeping our safety and well being above all. He took time to show us the smallest of things as well as the abundance of wildlife on the river. He topped it all off with lunch and an informative tour of the facility, we are thoroughly impressed and would recommend this tour to anyone interested in a relaxing drift down the river.
