BEST rafting - The truth is we had a wonderful day rafting on the Sarapiquà River. Much of that had to do with our guide, Stanley Esquivel Mesen. You can tell he really knows the river like the back of his hand, so we felt safe the whole time, even in the most turbulent rapids. The whole team was 10 stars, very attentive the whole time and provided VIP service. It was a good mix between the excitement of rafting and being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery here in SarapiquÃ. If you're looking to do something adventurous, I highly recommend it, and Stanley was a fantastic guide who made the experience even better.

Great time for our small group! - Jordy and David took us on a super fun adventure down the rapids. It was only my daughter (15) and me and we appreciate that they were willing to host such a small group. Jordy’s instructions were clear and kept us safe and having fun. We were on the water for 2.5 hours and had some fruit snacks and a secret dessert after. Definitely worth the trip.

Great adventure - Jorge our guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time! The rapids were a blast and we had a small group which was a plus. The fresh fruit and other snacks were amazing! We even got to learn how to make sugar cane shots! Highly recommend this tour and company.

Amazing rafting experience - Amazing rafting experience, snacks and the best part was the super kind and fun staff of Sarapiqui Outdoor Center (10 out of 10). Tatiana was very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed to have a great experience, David gave us a detailed and very clear safety briefing and took pictures during the whole experience, Felipe was our captain and wild life expert (spotting many animals together with David during the trip) and Hugo drove us smoothly back to the main base. After the rafting, we had a very tasty fruity snack and they showed us how to make sugar cane juice that we tried after. It definitely worths the money :)

It is the BEST whitewater rafting adventure - David was an incredible guide! Rafting tour is off the beaten path and well worth the trip! The rapids were incredible and able to be expertly navigated with David’s guidance and when we weren’t in the rapids he was able to point out some of the beautiful wildlife along the way. Such a great adventure on our trip.
