“Blasting through the Rapids - This whitewater rafting trip on the Tenorio River with Native’s Way Costa Rica was absolutely fantastic. All of the staff were very professional and knowledgeable. And we were always given an update on our itinerary regarding what to expect throughout the day. The guides were all experienced and worked together in our big group to ensure everyone’s safety. Before blasting through the rapids, our guide Sammy gave explicit instructions on what we had to do and when we were coasting through calmer waters, he pointed out howler monkeys, native birds and a HUGE Iguana sunbathing on the rocks. The traditional meal provided after the trip was amazing…. so delicious and included ice cream for dessert. Well worth the cost, would definitely recommend using Native’s Way Costa Rica for this whitewater rafting experience. Thank you for an incredible experience I will never forget!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-15

“Highlight of our 5 day Guanacaste Vacation - 10/10. We were in Guanacaste for my husband’s work trip. We had our choice of excursion but we declined the ATV tour and chose the massage at the spa and sourced our own ATV tour. Those couples that did the tour through the hotel had mediocre reviews but I would RAVE about our experience. We saw 5 different beaches, went through rural areas, saw wildlife and went up a mountain. It was just my husband and I and our guide. He was so kind and patient with us and let us spend as much time at each location as we wanted and we were pleased the speed was not restricted and we never asked for a photo- he offered generously at the very location. We saw much more of the area than we had expected to and honestly the photos and reviews previously did not do the tour justice. I would do it over and over again. Honestly the highlight of our trip!” - Reviewed on 2025-05-08
