We used WAVE Expeditions to book our Costa Rica itinerary and I highly recommend them. All the hotels and expeditions were great. We loved the rafting trip on the Balsa River. We have a 7 year old who had never rafted before but the guides' level of professionalism and concern with safety made me comfortable taking him. Victor, Carlos and... more

they're not lying when they say "45 continuous rapids" ... I can be a bit of a wus at times but for those of you who crave adventure, you won't be disappointed... a few words of wisdom though... tighten your shoes well b/c I lost one of mine on about the 4th or 5th rapid, do not wear any rings... more

Never tried this before, was slightly nervous, but that was all put behind us with such experienced, talented and amazing staff who are all "Safety First" and knowlegable. Gerald was informative & very patient. Of course World Class Kayaker Stanely was constantly watching out for us, but always made it feel like the whole thing was like being in Disney... more

We chose to do the Rio Toro Level IV rafting trip at the suggestion of our hotel. We were slightly concerned that this would be our first ever rafting trip but our guide Stanley insisted that we would be fine. Stanley is entertaining and a great tour guide; throughout our bus trip he pointed out numerous agricultural highlights along our... more

This was truly an awesome experience. The guides were very friendly and professional, and safety was as important as having a great time. The trip was so much fun, and I would absolutely do it again if I ever make it back to Costa Rica. Failan and Victor were great guides and did everything tey could to ensure we had... more

This company does a great job! We are always a bit concerned when travelling abroad and relying on local tourism because although we might know some of the country's laguage, we are often not fluent. We never had to worry or call to see where our ride was. Each time they were early! This is impressive. Also, all of them... more

This white water rafting trip is something that shouldn't be missed! Stanley and the guys were absolutely awesome, in a very safe and fun form! For someone who had never been white water rafting, this has truely elevated my desire to go again. From the wonderful knowledge the guides share, to the thrills of the rapids, and finishing with a... more

My wife and I were rafting novices when we signed up for the full day rafting trip in late July, and Wave Expeditions exceeded our expectations by a mile. The guides were very friendly and engaging, and the instruction before and during the trip was spot-on and made the trip a lot of fun. The pictures on the brochures look... more
