Top La Fortuna White Water Rafting

Fantastic experience, adrenaline, fun, nature and a super guide that always remains calm and gives one the certainty to be safe. I loved it from the beginning (entertaining busride) to the end (delicious lunch with foto show) i recommend this rafting adventure to beginners and experienced rafters.

This was the second time I did this excursion. I went seven years ago by myself and this time I brought my teenagers. The whole experience from canyoning to rafting, the meal and sugar cane presentation were all just as I remembered and my kids loved it. Thank you again!!

Elvis was an amazing guide! He made the trip so much fun! On the day we rafted, it was storming and raining SO HARD! Very unusual for this area. We almost canceled but they assured us the water level is regulated by the dam and we would be safe. We were already planning to be wet on the rapids so we went for it! It was a blast!!! We laughed and squealed the whole time! We saw iguanas in the trees. We paddled and got drenched. Was it cold? Yes. Did the rain pour on us? Yes. Did Elvis and the other guides do a great job at keeping us entertained and having fun? Absolutely! Our boat had 2 adults, a 13yo who paddled and an 11 and 9 year old who didn’t paddle. We all loved it and no one fell out!

My son and I had the most incredible experience. The canyoning was better than we thought it would be. It was a lot of fun and the guides were funny, helpful and made everyone feel safe. The whitewater was equally as fun. Our guide gave us a great experience and even when my son fell out we laughed it off. It’s hard to get a 14 year old boy to be impressed, but he has been talking about the experience ever since.

Great experience! Jairo was very informative of the expectations of the tour during the bus ride, and his photos of the experience came out incredible! Our raft guide was Esteban and he did a wonderful job navigating a group of English and Spanish speaking people during stressful moments. We had a scary experience in the raft where it got wedged under a rock, but navigated everyone to safety and we all enjoyed the rest of the experience! I have white water rafted before in other countries and this experience is very equivalent and fair-priced. Be warned if you don’t like long bus rides, there is a fairly long bus ride to and from the experience. However, they do provide drinks after the experience and an opportunity to change out of your wet swimsuits, which was awesome!

We had a great time rafting! The guides were very friendly and made us feel safe in the raft. The class 2-3 were perfect for us as there were many exhilarating rapids and it ended with a relaxing float down the river where our guides pointed out various animals and birds to us. We had a small group so it ended up just being my husband and myself on the raft which was an amazing private experience! We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for some adventure and beauty in Costa Rica

We had a communication blip on starting location as the location didn’t match the text communications. We thought we had hotel pickup and Wave thought we were meeting there. It ultimately was just an unfortunate miscommunication and we missed the morning departure for Zip-lining. Wave worked hard to rearrange our day to ensure we could still experience both. They were very accommodating and this entire experience ended up being the highlight of our trip! We had a blast experiencing the rapids with our guide Kervin. He was fun and very personable. We would highly recommend their company and use them again. Because we had to shift our time, we had to make it back for zip-lining by 3p. Wave coordinated an alternative lunch and got us delicious boxed lunches. We made it to Go Adventure and enjoyed a fun experience zip-lining! The guides were phenomenal and our 8 year old was very attached to his guide that travelled the lines with him! He was nervous at first but his guide made him feel so comfortable and he LOVED the experience. We were so grateful to both companies and the guides. This will definitely be an experience we’ll reflect fondly on and cherish memories from forever. Thank you!!

We had fantastic morning of white water rafting and a nice meal included. The drive of about an hour to and from La Fortuna was comfortable. The guides were great and included safety kayakers which I’ve never seen before. The rafting was about two hours of 3-4 level rapids with short floats between and a couple of stops for swimming and fresh fruit. It was quite enjoyable!
