Pacuare River Tours and Tickets

Amazing experience. They picked me up from my hotel in Turrialba and it was about 1 hour drive to the starting point. The guides are all fun and knowledgeable and there is a great vibe. I was a solo traveller but felt welcomed in the group. I never did rafting before and I was a bit nervous but the guide explained everything clearly and guided the boat in such a way that we all felt safe and had lots of fun! The river is so beautiful, and you have a very special way to explore it through rafting. I am glad I did this and if I was staying longer I would have done it again!

What a great experience. We had the greatest time. The guide and the photographer were amazing. Several times we were able to jump in the water and float. We felt very safe. We stopped at a small waterfall and swimming hole. River difficulty rating class was 2 to 4. Make sure you wear sunscreen, and some type of shoes you can get wet and secure like water shoes don’t bring flip-flops or crocs you will lose them. You have a break where they feed you fresh fruit and then at the end you get a great Costa Rican meal 10 out of 10 recommend. You will not regret it if you book this.

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!
