Michael_G, May 2026

Great experience! One of...

Great experience! One of my favorite things I’ve done here in Costa Rica within the 5 days of me being here. Things seemed a bit chaotic at first. But once you’re on that raft. Amazing, Christopher was a great guide.

Best Rafting in the most beautiful environment

Amazing experience

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!

Exceptional rafting

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.
