Chris was a fantastic guide taking us down the Naranjo. I’ve done rafting many places and his concern for safety and skills through the rapids was impressive. It’s a quick ride to the river in an old, but adequate van and the take out point is even closer to the shop. The driver was are and you have access to your bags at the midway point for quick photos, snacks or water beyond what is provided.

WOW! Me and my family did the white water rafting and it was soooo much fun. The tour guides were AMAZING they knew a lot about the land and told us about the nature and wildlife along the ride. They made the trip so fun! They knew pretty good English as well. BEAUTIFUL sceneries along the river and lots of laughs❀️ Cris and Wesley did an AWESOME job giving us a once in a lifetime experience , the camera/safety crew took amazing pictures and had to save my aunt once or twice 🀣

If you are looking for great rafting adventure, Tico Loco is the place for you. Roy is someone who is super easy to speak with and gets everything arranged in a jiffy. Our guide Wesley was super fun and knowledgeable (especially when it comes to natural surroundings of the river). It was a great river rafting experience πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½
