I had a blast! The guide was fantastic!! Very knowledgeable and funny. He even tried to tip our raft a few times(with the consent of the rest of the group of course). The dog(Piqui) that jumped from raft to raft was also very fun to have around!

I had such a great time white water rafting with Dinghy Expeditions. Our guide was super friendly and fun while making sure we were safe throughout the experience. The river is beautiful and you get to see many different types of wildlife. We saw various types of birds, including herons and ospreys. At one point, a monkey sat perched in a tree above us. A truly exhilarating experience I will remember forever!

Had a great day...the guides are the sweatest people out there...small warm company that takes care of their clientele. And the cherry on top there's a dog along for the ride:)

Close friends of mine, all adults and one young child, took a safari float tour with Dinghy Expeditions while in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. The Costa Rican jungle did not disappoint! The wildlife and natural scenery had us in complete amazement the entire time, even when the rains came. The tour started off being picked up by Andres and a driver who took us to the entrance to the penas blancas river. There we donned lifejackets and were provided with all the necessary safety information and procedures in both Spanish and English. Andres was very knowledgeable and a fun guide to explore the river with. He was happy to answer all of our questions and talk freely about everyday life in Costa Rica. He shared stories and encouraged us all to be completely present in nature while floating down the river. We were able to help paddle the raft and stopped often to explore and learn about various plants, trees, flowers and fauna along the way. We also stopped along the river’s edge to glaze at monkeys playing in the trees. Andres shared histories of Costa Rica and the river itself as we floated along. Overall, we were on the river for about 2 hours. We saw various birds, lizards, bats, monkeys and even a sloth. After the safari float we walked to a nearby family run farm to enjoy fresh coffee and juice along with homemade cheese, desserts and fried plantains. It was a fun,memorable tour while in La Fortuna. I would certainly recommend checking out the various tours offered by Dinghy Expeditions. A family owned company, creating lasting memories and sharing the joy of Pura Vida! Gracias Amigos!

The hotel pick up was 1 hour late. The guide seemed to be a last minute replacement for their regular guide. He didnt know what was included in the tour. I've to show him what is included and what is not. Still he skipped a few of the included stops on the tour. I'm not satisfied with this company.

We had an amazing experience using this family owned company. Everything was just perfect! I researched the mayor rafting companies and choose Dinghy because their great reviews, I called ahead of time and spoke with Andres who kindly answered all my doubts. They picked us on time at our hotel and drove to us the river. Meanwhile he explained what we were going to do and was very patient answering my daughters questions. We were all a little scared since this was our first time doing water rafting. When we got to the river Andres explained to us all the commands and safety measures, then we went on the boat and practice several times until we all felt safe. We were placed in our positions and my younger daughter (10) was just next to Andres, he was extremely cautious with her and made sure she was safe during the whole trip, which let me enjoy the experience. We got to see different companies while rafting and most of them use several boats at the same time and looked kind of unsafe. I was very pleased to use a company Like Dignhy that cares for their costumers and got the time to actually learn your name and give you the best treatment. This was for sure the best experience we could have ever asked for! Thank you Andres and Diana!!!

I have done a lot of rafting and this was my favourite. The rapids we did weren't that big but the guides made the day super fun. And I felt super safe the whole time.

Highly recommend doing this! The guides were amazing and you will definitely have a good time. Even the dog goes rafting with you!

I’ve done several guided rafting trips. The majority in Idaho on some good rivers but this by far was one of the best experiences I’ve had with some extremely passionate and experienced guides. Also piqui is the best.

This is a must-do! The instructors were great, and they had stops for snacks and swimming. Wear sunscreen!

The day tour was highly educational, safe, and fun! Would recommend! Super friendly and nice guides.

this was by far the best part of our coasta rica trip. i highly reccomend everyone try it. the guides are amazing and they know so much that they pass on to you.

We explored the Peñas Blancas River on this safari trip. Andres and Diana were excellent guides. It was raining on the day we went on the trip, but we still saw lots including Howler monkeys, long nosed Brazilian bats, many birds (Green kingfisher, Barn Swallows, Keel Toucan, Aninga, Tropical king bird,Buff rump warbler), and Squirrels. We saw many types of trees and plants such as Cedar, Gavilan, Yellow bamboo, Bread fruit and Carob, Bromiliads, Cacti epiphye, Spanish moss, Monkey ladder- bauhinia, Kapok tree, Sota caballo, Yucca, and Cuadrado (plantain). Andres is a fount of knowledge of the local flora and fauna and the local biodiversity. He described how the river has changed over the years due to climate changes or effects from illegal dumping etc. We heard interesting stories about the introduction of certain plants, for example the bamboo and how their introduction has affected the local environment. Andres even jumped into the river to Moore our boat so we could get a look at the Howler monkeys! He showed us bats that impersonate snakes! We then stopped at a wonderful family business where Andres showed us cocoa plants and we had a meal of fried plantains, fresh cheese, sweet yuka bread and fresh organic juice. We wandered around the local farm seeing horses, cattle, ducks, kittens and chickens. We were collected and dropped off as promised. They were able to advise us in the best place to eat and buy local crafts in the town. We would highly recommend Dinghy expeditions. 5 stars!

This was our first rafting experience and I am sooo glad we went with Dinghy Expeditions. We were picked up at our hotel on time by Andres and Piqui. We were not aware of Piqui, the rafting dog, but we were ok with this experience. This definitely was a first for us and made the entire day unique. Our group was small, which included another couple. This is our preference when we do activities and Andres was an excellent guide and instructor. On our way out to the river, we stopped at a local fruit stand where we were able to sample different fruits. Andres is very knowledgeable of the La Fortuna area and is great at informing visitors of many aspects of the area and the country. I, of course, had an absolute blast with rafting, I'm not sure if my husband could say the same, but after reviewing photos it looked like he enjoyed himself. This is definitely an activity to purchase photos for. Additionally, they are priced reasonably. On our way back into town, we stopped at a family owned Soda for lunch, which of course was delicious. If anybody is thinking about white water rafting go with Dinghy expeditions. This is a family run business and it is obvious that they love what they do and they love their country. Pura Vida!

I went on the half-day tour with my mother. Despite of the little downpour, Andres was super passionate about his environment, country and everything else he showed us. Learned a lot about costarican fauna and the dip in the hot river came just right - what a magical place! Thanks for everything!
