Top Costa Rica White Water Rafting

10/10 Would let Elvis (almost) drown me again! 🌊🛶"If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet, and peaceful float down a serene river, keep looking. If you want to paddle until your arms feel like noodles while laughing until you cry, book with Elvis right this second. Thanks for keeping us safe, Jax! If I ever decide to intentionally go over a waterfall, I’m calling you."

Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Amigos del Río! This was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. From the moment they picked us up at our Airbnb until they dropped us back off, everything was seamless, well organized, and so much fun. During the drive, our guides shared interesting facts about Costa Rica’s history, wildlife, culture, and the towns we passed through, making the drive part of the adventure. Our guides were funny, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel completely at ease. Safety was clearly their top priority, which was especially important since we were rafting with kids. They kept the children laughing while teaching them about the river and the surrounding rainforest, creating the perfect mix of adventure, education, and fun. One of our favorite parts of the day was stopping at a beautiful waterfall along the river. We had time to enjoy the scenery, cool off, and recharge while the guides served fresh fruit and snacks. It was such a beautiful stop and made an already amazing day even more memorable. The rafting was exciting, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire Amigos del Río team was professional, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. To end the day, they treated us to a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch before driving us back to our Airbnb. If you’re visiting the Manuel Antonio or Quepos area, don’t miss this experience. We made unforgettable family memories and will absolutely book with Amigos del Río again the next time we’re in Costa Rica. Highly recommend!

This was our first time and it was so much fun! Different guides do different things like a leaf in your helmet, splash wars with other rafts, or just basic instructions while rowing, which makes a big difference. We could have did without the fruit stop in the middle but overall we would do it again. They provided towels and water plus food at the end which was good. The picture package was $40 and worth it as we had over 100 photos.
