A highlight of our trip - This was absolutely a highlight of our trip! We went with our two boys (ages 9 and 11) and felt completely safe the entire time - everyone had an incredible day. We noticed another company on the river with close to 10 rafts, but our group was much smaller, which made the experience even better. It allowed us to explore a waterfall and even jump off a cliff…so much fun! The scenery was stunning, and we came away with amazing photos as well. Don’t hesitate—I would recommend this excursion and company in a heartbeat.

An absolute blast of my first time rafting - Honestly an absolute INCREDIBLE experience. I had a trip today with Ariel as our rafting guide, Daniel as support including photography, and Mario our driver. They were so much fun, hilarious, and helpful. Ariel made the rafting as fun as the river could possibly be by hitting the hardest spots in at speeds and angles than made it SUCH a thrill. I've never gone rafting before and it was a complete blast. I can't recommend it enough. All of our crew loved it.

Unmissable! - 3 out of 4 of us were first time rafters, so were a little nervous about this experience, as the rapids were graded at 2-4, but we needn't have worried. We were looked after by our guide from start to finish. He gave us clear and basic instructions throughout, so easy to follow & he definitely helped stear us away from danger! The views were incredible and our guide pointed out animals along the way (we saw toucans, herons and vultures). Also, he taught us about the local indigenous people and other interesting things about Costa Rica. About half way round we did a short walk to a pretty pool where we had a dip and some fresh fruit, which was a lovely break for us. At the end of the rafting we had a delicious lunch of pork, rice and vegetables with a juice. The meal was a large portion, so you get your money's worth! Also 1 of our party is gluten intolerant & another vegetarian. We told the organisers before the day, but both were catered for without any issue. Another boat travels with you to take high quality photographs. We've bought the package and can't wait to see the photos again!

Exciting and unique - this is the rafting on the Pacuare river! - We made the rafting route of the Pacuare River, near the capital. An incredible experience! Our guide, Carlos, was great and made us roll and laugh all the way. Super safe, quiet and well-structured, and exciting on the lanes. I highly recommend!

Do it! Don’t miss it! Book it… enjoy it! - Excellent white water rafting. Picked up bang on time and driven to ‘put in’ location. Excellent guide; lots of fun in the boats. Superb rapids and plenty of unscheduled dunking along the way. Good meal at the end. All equipment satisfactory although transport to and from the river was rudimentary. The showers and changing facilities at the end were welcomed. Meal at destination was good. Photos looked of good quality - we bought them although these are not yet received. Hmm! Would totally recommend this river and this company for a brilliant experience. Would have liked better advice on anticipated ‘real’ start/finish times but this didn’t spoil anything Great value for money
