This was a fantastic trip. Long ride but so worth it. Our driver. Ed started things off by pointing out landmarks on the trip and made it interesting. Then we got to the river. Our group had 3 boats with amazing guides. Teeny was our guide and kept us laughing and loving every single minute. The biggest comment I heard was -"awe, is it over????". We even got to stop inside Costa Rica on the way back. 2 countries for one price. Oh I almost forgot lunch. Tons of food and so very good. Fresh sweet pineapple, empanadas. Yeah baby. I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip.

Unbelievable experience! So fun! Our guide, Teeny, was phenomenal. He was enthusiastic about birds and nature, capable in guiding the team and raft and he was, above all, safety conscious. The rapids were exciting and the setting was second to none. Highly recommended!

We had so much fun!!! The guide was very experienced and funny. The rapids were big enough to be really fun but not enough to be scary.

We had a really fun time, my 7 and 8 year old kids loved it. It’s almost a 2 hour ride to get to the river but it felt worth it. The tour guides were great and it’s well organized.

We loved this tour! The rapids were challenging and exhilarating and the downtime to float was wonderful. We saw so many birds, monkeys and even a boa! The lunch was so fresh and was perfect. Such a fun day thank you!

Genny,

Highly recommended! Very well organized;
We forgot our passports (please remember, as you will cross into Costa Rica), and Ed (driver) offered us a lift back to hotel to grab them. Ed also returned us back after trip as we waited for an Uber! Our river guide Teeni was outgoing and fun, with clear safety instructions. Get ready to get tossed! Teeni was well versed in the flora and fauna of the river and knew each crevice and turn. Lunch was great, with fruit and empanadas and time to chat with other adventurers. Our family made great memories on this excursion!

Long ride to the river but very fun once you get there! We had four in our boat and Tini was our guide. He made the trip, full of energy, able to get us all laughing, forge team spirit, show us different birds and trees (and a rainbow boa!) on the shore, and keep us from drowning (!!) Exciting, fun - every single person on the trip including a very thrilled ten year old, had a great time though most ended up in the water at one point or another! Thank you, Tini!
Response from Host, Jan 2025

An amazing fun experience, great guides, good quality rafts. Laughs had by everyone. Good for all abilities and really well organised. The bus journey is about an hour and a half from Boquete but well worth it. The rafting catered for all ages.

Super moment en famille. Super ambiance.
Boquete outdoor adventures est un tour opérateur sérieux, excellente prestation. Le seul bémol c'est qu'on attend toujours les photos à télécharger de la journée du 12 août 19, compris dans la prestation 🤔🤔🤔
