Loved it!

This was so much fun! We saw lots of animals on our safari tour; monkeys, cayman, owls, iguanas, turtles, toucans! Hector and Roy were very knowledgeable, I was on Hectors boat and he had the best stories! The farm lunch after was so delicious and a true authentic local experience. I was surprised there was some turquoise colored water here because I hadn’t seen any in the pictures. The pool under the waterfall was pretty cold but it was a little warmer the further away from the waterfall you go.
Beautiful Costa Rica float and waterfalls

It was a wonderful trip down the river. We saw many animals and learned a lot about the community, the native people, and their customs. We also enjoyed interacting with the guides (Carlos & Hector) and the monkies along the river. The trip down to the Falls was also great. Lunch was a real treat. Great guides.

We had a great time with our very polite driver, Hector, and our extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and fun guide, Fabrizio. We were picked up from our hotel in La Fortuna for this private tour with just our family of three, then drove to the raft launch. We floated and paddled down a moving river and saw several birds (Kingfisher, yellow belly flycatcher, heron, and a bare-throated tiger heron that was eating a fish), a Howler monkey troop with at least 6 monkeys, 2 river otters, and a sloth that moved. Fabrizio also pointed out several reptiles like 2 iguana and a Basilisk lizard. We finished the float and went to a local family farm for an incredible snack on plantains, cheese, yucca bread, and juice before heading to the La Fortuna Waterfall. The family farm was 100% farm-to-table and everyone was very friendly. At La Fortuna waterfall, Fabrizio kindly took a few family photos for us, gave us instructions for the rest of the day, then connected us with our next guide, Erica. Erica had a group of 6 and we joined that group for the waterfall and lunch. Erica was also very knowledgeable and shared many facts about Costa Rica and the La Fortuna Waterfall. The waterfall was magnificent, the water was cold and there were about 400-500 stairs down and back up. We had about an hour to swim and marvel at the waterfall, then a chance to change to dry clothes. We went to lunch about ten minutes away and it was delicious. This was one of the best days of out trip. We really felt like we got to see authentic Tico life and experience the Pura Vida. I would request our guides again.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
