Fun family experience to repeat - Our first family rafting experience has been a lot of fun. The organization has been perfect and our guide Julio could not be better. He was explaining about the animals and trees we saw along the way, but the best way he has taken us across the river. We have all enjoyed it a lot, especially my children jumping from the top and from the boat. And as an end to what to say about the fruit halfway.....exquisite and in a great environment. Experience to repeat. And a mention also of our driver Mario, who drove like no one else in the rain. Thanks to all the team and especially to Julio for this great afternoon.

An amazing Experience - We had an amazing time on the tour. Julio was our guide and he made sure we are all safe. We had two teenagers on the raft with us and they all had the best time. We were able to see a monkey and toucans. Highly recommend!

Amazing whitewater rafting for a first timer! - Wow! We absolutely recommend using the Arenal Rafting Company for your white water rafting trip. From start to finish, our guide, Alejandro Turri, was professional and made the experience so much fun! Going through the various rapids with Alejandro guiding us was phenomenal! He pointed out many animals - including a sloth! Two of us were novices and a bit apprehensive about going, and Alejandro made us feel safe immediately. Loved the stop for swimming and the freshly cut fruit during a break. And the burrito at the end of the trip hit the spot. Choose Arenal Rafting Company without hesitation. And request Alejandro Turri. Also, our family loved Mauricio who kayaked along side to take pics, even though he is a Saprissa Futbal fan. Let’s go Catago!
