Guided by experienced naturalists, the experience also provides educational insight into the region’s flora, fauna, and ecological balance. Guests learn how the rainforest functions as a connected system, while gaining a deeper appreciation for conservation efforts that protect this biodiverse habitat.

Customer Reviews
Amazing morning on the river with these guys. They are a locally owned company with great concern for the environment. The guide/owner was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and we all had a chance to take great photos. On each tour they plant a native tree on an area of the riverbank that had been deforested. A lovely touch.
We had a GREAT time with our tour guide, Oscar, and driver, Eddie. They were both super nice and friendly. Oscar is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He spotted many animals for us to see. We were lucky to see the howler monkeys! Highly recommend this tour and company. The whole process from buying online, checking in, the tour itself to checking out. We are thankful for such a wonderful experience!!!
Amazing, relaxing float down the river. Very little paddling involved. Amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and funny. We saw a lot of wildlife including monkeys and sloths. Finished with a little lunch at a really charming farm cafe. Great for all ages!
