Espirit - Jim puts a great trip together. May have gotten married due to Jim's excellent customer service while we were down there. What a trip it was. We went in January and had nice water.

Just got back January 7th from CR. Jim Coffee from esprit will show you a fantastic paddling vacation.

No matter what level boater you are, Jim is amazing at organizing everyone to suit your whitewater needs.

Blackfly optons,ion, Esquif ledges and c1s. If you get tired one day, jump on a slice or raft.

Food is good, you'll never go hungry. The drivers and gudes are top notch!
