Traveler reviews
Crazy fun
It's very fun and safe. Guide are professional and they know what they doing. Very well recommended.
Beautiful rafting tour
My boyfriend and I had a very nice experience rafting. The guide is very pleasant and spontaneous. The food afterwards was also very tasty! Definitely recommended
Amazing trip
We took our family and had an AMAZING time! Even if you’ve done white water rafting before, the rapids were big and unique. The guides were phenomenal, and Jason (our guide) made the trip even more fun with little things along the way. They provided a great meal at the end of the trip, and I highly recommend this entire trip!
A MUST in Guanacaste!
Our white-water rafting excursion was easily one of the highlights of our trip! A huge thank you to our guide, Junior, who made the entire experience unforgettable. As first-time rafters, we were a little nervous, but Junior was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, kept us informed throughout the trip, and most importantly, made us feel completely safe on the river. His confidence and expertise allowed us to relax, have fun, and enjoy the adventure. The rafting itself was exciting, beautiful, and well-organized, but Junior's outstanding service truly made the experience special. If you're considering this excursion, we highly recommend it—and if you get Junior as your guide, you're in excellent hands! Thank you, Junior, for an amazing adventure and memories we'll never forget!
