Thrilling- 12 ft waterfall drop!!! - Not too difficult- but thrilling!!!! 3/4 passengers did fall out of the raft but it was so fun. Our guides Mario and Jason were entertaining and knowledgeable!

Adventurous gorgeous river trip! - This is our 2nd time taking this trip (first time in low water season, now in high) and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Luis, was fabulous- a total pro who made us comfortable (even our nervous kiddo) and navigated us through some huge rapids with ease! It’s absolutely beautiful jungle and the rapids are super fun. Will do again!

An experience full of fun and memories that will last a lifetime - By far the best day we experienced in Costa Rica! I would rate this company higher if I could. My partner and I had a blast with our tour guide, Luis. Luis made the experience so much more fun and interactive! He was also very educational with rafting techniques and making sure we knew what to do, as well as providing information about the country, botanicals, and wildlife in the area. The company itself is also fantastic! We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the site to meet our guide. After that, we were driven to the mountains and the river entrance. It's a long day, but it is worth witnessing the beautiful aspects of nature while adventuring into level 3 and 4 rapids!

Fun adventure - Great communication for the team. They informed us of the pickup time for our hotel the night before. The trip to the river is about two and a half hour from Tamarindo. The last leg of the drive was very bumpy but manageable. A quick safety lesson from the guide and we're in the water. Saw several birds and little fishes along the way. The rapid were not too extreme. No experience needed. Afterward, they served us a tasty lunch and took us back. It a nice day trip along the river with some good rapids.

Tenorio river super fun!!! - We had so much fun!!! The rapids were exhilarating. Our tour guide (Mario) had 20+ years of experience and was very knowledgeable of all the different trees and wildlife along the river. His personality coupled with the rapids made our experience full of fun and excitement

Great excursion - Picked up on time. Clean van. Super efficient all around. Boat was well taken care of. Staff very attentive and helpful. We stayed at the Westin and was a quick trip to the dock. Food was was great which is I have found to be consistent with Costa Rica excursions. Very well done!

Best Rafting Company! - We had the best time rafting with the awesome Mario and team. They are very experienced guides who make you feel safe while providing a fun adventure. My teenage kids loved it too. We were looking for an excursion that felt more authentic Costa Rica and less touristy. This one struck the perfect balance. We can’t wait to go with them again!
