Great way to experience the natural beauty of Costa Rica - We had a friend in CR recommend rafting the Pacuare. It was a terrific way to start our CR trip. The first day is pretty mild which was great to get used to paddling. We stayed that night at the Rios Lodge. Our room had an amazing room in a building overlooking the River. Bathroom en suite. Not super luxe but very clean and nice. The food was solid and there is even a bar. We arrived at lunch and spent the afternoon swimming in a natural pool and doing a short walk around the property. Day 2 was more exhilarating - class 3 and 4. We aren't experienced rafters but felt completely safe with our guide Esteban who was amazing. He was knowledgeable, helpful and super skilled. We even watched how the crew (there were a few boats plus a safety kayak in our group) sprang into action when someone fell out of raft. All was well and it was great to see everyone knew exactly what to do. Highly recommend!

Five stars! - This is a great company! All of the guides were extremely friendly and helpful, from Gino who met us and drove us to the water to Kenneth who was our personal guide. Kenneth was an incredibly skilled oarsman. We have done lots of rafting and this man knew the river and his craft! He was so polite and informative, with a lovely smile and always ready to help. Mario guided our experienced kayaking friends and he too was lovely and an amazing in a kayak. The river is gorgeous with constantly changing scenery. The guides have great rapport between them. Go for it!
