If there were an Olympic gold medal for white water rafting guides, Christopher would take it home every time. Our Sarapiquí white water rafting trip in Costa Rica wasn’t just a tour—it was a full-blown adventure movie, and Christopher was the heroic lead. From the second we buckled our helmets, he had us feeling hyped, safe, and ready to conquer the rapids. His instructions were clear, his timing flawless, and his confidence reassuring. He made class III and IV rapids feel like a rollercoaster built just for us—with zero fear and 100% fun. Christopher had this magical ability to balance adrenaline with pure joy. Every rapid we crushed was followed by a cheer, a high-five, and a hilarious story that had us laughing even as our hearts pounded. He knew every twist of the river like the back of his hand and made sure we hit all the best drops. But it wasn’t just about the thrill—he’d point out wildlife mid-run, crack jokes between commands, and somehow keep us perfectly in sync. It felt like we weren’t just rafting—we were part of a legendary team led by the G.O.A.T. of guides. By the end of the trip, we didn’t want to leave the raft. We were soaked, breathless, and smiling so hard our cheeks hurt—and it was all thanks to Christopher. He wasn’t just the best tour guide we’ve ever had—he set the bar impossibly high for any guide, anywhere. The Sarapiquí River was wild, but with Christopher at the helm, it became pure magic. Give this man a cape, because what he does is superhuman.

Went white river rafting with the EF Tours group and Joel was our guide and he was sooooo awesome. Thanks for making my first time rafting the best experience Joel!!!
