Five out of five is not enough! - Absolutely amazing experience! The price is great and includes breakfast and lunch, transportation, and the white water experience. We even had a small hike mid-river to a waterfall which was beautiful. The whole trip was around 12 hours including transportation from San José to Limón. The river ride is 3 adventure-packed hours where you will love every minute. We were a party of 9 people, filled two rafts. Our guide, Ariel, knows this river like if it were family, and will go as far as you let him go. We let him do, and had the best experience! This trip is great for anyone not afraid to get a little wet. We even had a friend who could not swim, and she loved it too! Thank you, Manfred (owner and awesome cook) and your team! Will definitely be coming back!

Best price, professionalism, and hospitality in town - Such an epic trip . The guides were so knowledgeable about not only rafting but also the ecosystem. They even offered us lunch and drove us back to our car, they even gave me a super friendly discount for my residency without having my identification card yet, which just means they made basically nothing from me going. But they treated us like family, with 5 star hospitality. They waited for us when we were a little late. And even responded to my messages at 11:30pm. The guides took us through all the fun parts of the rapids, which we saw some other companies avoid. The safety talk was very clear and professional. Oh and the lunch was epic, some of us were tired and they went out of their way to make us a nice few cups of coffee. I have been to a couple different raft companies in Turrialba but I know I will always be using Adrenalina

THE BEST EXPERIENCE🙌🏼 - I had an amazing experience with Adrenaline Rafting in Turrialba. I work transporting domestic and foreign tourists to this place, and after living the experience I can say that it is really worth recommending. From the beginning the team was very professional, friendly and organized. Security throughout the activity feels great and the guides make the adventure even more exciting and fun. The rafting was spectacular, the river, the scenery and the adrenaline make it an unforgettable experience. My clients were so delighted with the experience that, during the same week, some decided to repeat the tour several times. That speaks highly of the quality of service they offer. It is definitely an activity that I recommend to anyone who visits the Turrialba area and wants to live a real adventure in Costa Rica. If anyone needs transportation to get to Adrenaline Rafting, you can gladly contact me at 8691-8960. Jostin Peñaranda

Maximum adrenaline - Taking advantage of the fact that we were in Turrialba we hired a rafting tour with Manfred. We love the mountain adventure and it was great, it exceeded our expectations. A tour that starts from the moment you leave Turrialba, with beautiful views along the way. And the Pacuare is definitely magical. For those who want adrenaline, recommended 100%.

Super recommended - We rafted with this company and the experience was just amazing. From the start everything was very well organized and the team was very professional and friendly. The guides convey a lot of confidence, explain the safety measures very well and throughout the tour make the experience fun and exciting. The river has very good rapids, perfect for those looking for adventure. In addition, the landscape is spectacular and all the equipment they provide is in very good condition. It was certainly one of the best activities we did during the trip. Fully recommended for those who visit Costa Rica and want to live an adventure full of adrenaline
