Rafting! - My husband and I were so happy with our experience! The guides were honestly the best. They were so aware of our safety and answered all our questions. We had time to swim around and jump off a small cliff into the water. They were so experienced! If you like thrill and excitement, do this!

Fun times - Great adrenaline rush with a great guide. Orlando was awesome. The river had lots of challenging sections but always felt in control.

Absolute must do, thrilling fun and safe - My fiance and I had the BEST time with our guides Nicholas, Davide, Mario, and one other name I forget (sorry). I had been rafting before but my partner never. We never felt unsafe and we had a smile the entire time. The views are gorgeous, the river is fun, and even the ride up to the launch point was great with a truck with no doors through the jungle. Can’t say enough positive things. Well worth the money. Lunch afterwards was just what was needed as well. Can’t go wrong by booking this!

Awesome - It was a great experience. A must do even though you’re not an adventurer. Believe me you won’t regret it. Orlando and Jonathan were our tour guides and they were excellent. Very knowledgeable about Rafting and the surroundings. The food taste amazing.

Professional and deaf-friendly - Fantastic experience on the grade 3/4 rapids with Orlando. He completely catered the session to our needs (as adventurous as possible; nature spotting) and was fantastic at communicating with my partially deaf husband. Jonathan took great photos too! Highly recommended!

Great experience! Do it - Very safe and fun! Felt totally in good hands with the guides. The river was level 4 at the time and my wife have never tried rafting before, but had an unforgettable day!

Great experience and adventure - Due to lack of rain we opted to tackle the El Chorro. What a great experience and glad we did this tour. Nicholas and team was excellent. I highly recommend this while in Manuel Antonio.

Go! Safe and fun! - This is with Tucanes Tours and was excellent. I've done about a dozen rafting trips in the US and this was just as good as any of them. Our group of 8 had a safe and wonderful time. My guide, Leandro was awesome! They feed you a typical Costa Rican meal afterwards and you can purchase pictures for $40/boat. Highly recommend!

Great day on the river! - Our white water rafting trip was fantastic. Our guide, Mario, knew the river like the back of his hand. So much fun. Impressed with the entire operation from the guides, to the photographer, the exceptional safety standards and Super Mario our shuttle driver. A don’t miss this experience for anyone visiting the Quepos area.
