White Water Rafting - White water rafting was a blast. Our tour guide was the best, Thanks Kenneth. Tour starts with a great lunch, then a ride into the beautiful Costa Rica for a 2+ hour rafting trip where you will see amazing views and wildlife in addition to your rafting experience.

Fun in the sun! - While the water was low, the trip was pretty fun. The river runs through a beautiful jungle area. We saw a number of birds and lizards and it was lovely. The ride to put in is long and very very bumpy. Our guide Jesus was very nice.

Family rafting day trip for ages 8 to 66! - Our family had a great experience with Amigos del Rio! Our family was a group of 10 and Luis was our guide in the van. It is a long bumpy 90 minute ride mostly on a dirt road (aka a Costa Rican massage) to get to the river put in location but Luis was very friendly and explained what we would be doing and described what we were seeing during the drive. He would stop and hop out and get a plant or leaf for us to look at or smell and have us guess what it was. He told dad jokes and educated us about Costa Rican values, culture, government. When we arrived at the rafting site- we received a thorough safety overview of how to sit on the raft and get into positions for paddling, etc. We had 5 people in each raft (2 kids, ages 8-11, and 2 parents and one grandparent) along with Kennith and Ulysses guiding for each raft. There were some moderate rapids that the kids were a little scared of but they did great and we all felt very safe. There were tranquil spots along the river to slip out of the raft and float and swim. We stopped for a break and snack and after a short walk arrived to see the waterfall. We enjoyed watermelon, pineapple and cookies before finishing the float. We had a great time and Little Jaun took some amazing photos/action shots which we ended up buying. We retuned to the office/restaurant and enjoyed traditional arroz con pollo for lunch at around 2:30pm. It was a good day on the river and we would highly recommend Amigos del Rio!

So much fun! - Mosies and all of the guides were so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. My son and I had an awesome time rafting and floating in the river. Great memories for us. Thank you Amigos!

Fun on the River - Loads of fun on the river. Roller coaster rapids were fun but never dangerous. Not surprisingly, we got completely soaked - which was perfect because it was a hot day. The scenery was gorgeous. We really appreciated our excellent trip leader and guide, Kenneth.

Fun on the River - We had a group of 5 from 47 to 76. A couple of us were apprehensive, but we all absolutely loved it and had a wonderful time. Our guide Jesus made the ride to the river very interesting by telling us about Costa Rica. He had a great sense of humor and kept things fun. He was also our pilot on the river. We had great instruction beforehand about what to do. Great fun! Just a terrific experience. We had a delicious local lunch afterwards. Our favorite excursion!

Incredible time with my family with a great guide/rafting company 5 stars! - My daughter is 11 years old and I have 15 years of rafting/whitewater experience. To be honest my daughter was not looking forward to whitewater rafting. It was her first time rafting and she has only been kayaking once and hated it. Thankfully we were paired with an incredible guide LUIS. I will tell you out of my 15 years of experience this was the best guide I have ever had. He was so patient with my family and so reassuring with my daughter. At the end of the day my daughter had a blast! She smiled the whole way and enjoyed the thrill of whitewater rafting. This run is pretty tame for my standards but our guide made it interesting an fun that I had way more fun then I anticipated. If you are looking for a fun run, or a run for your family with small children, I promise you this is the perfect river / run to go on. It had plenty of action but wasnt scary for my daughter. And if LUIS is around well I would ask for him by name. Hes a legend that truly has a passion for what he does and he will take the best care of you. This was a bucket list adventure that I wanted for my family and our guide delivered and exceeded my expectations. The water level was on the lower side but dont let that fool you. You will have a great time. And the stop at the waterfall with snacks was so much fun. Thanks to all for a memorable experience for my family and If I could give you a rating of 100 stars I would!

Excellent tour! Highly recommend. - Excellent excursion -- highly recommend. Was one of our top three excursions out of the nine or so we did during our trip. Jesus and Ulises were excellent. They made things fun, kept us safe, and taught us a lot about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. And shoutout to the driver as well for handling the rough roads! The Sevegre was a great choice for beginners like us.
