Fun day

Sean_Y, Jan 2026

Great activity, great staff and guides. however it was all class I and II drops and there was only one class III and IV drop. The river was shallow and raft keep getting stuck. The road up to the rafting is uneven and you get a nice Costa Rican massage aka back and neck pain the next day.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for your kind words about our staff and guides. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the overall activity and our team. We sincerely appreciate you bringing your concerns about the river conditions and the access road to our attention. The water levels on our rivers can vary significantly with seasonal weather patterns, which sometimes affects the available rapids and can lead to shallower sections. We regret that this impacted your experience regarding the rapids and caused the raft to get stuck. Please know that your safety and enjoyment are always our top priorities, and we constantly assess conditions to provide the best possible trip. We also apologize for the discomfort caused by the access road. We are in regular communication with local authorities regarding its maintenance, and we are actively exploring all available options to improve this for our guests. Your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps us manage guest expectations and work on improvements. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further. If you are open to it, please contact us directly We hope to have the chance to welcome you back under more ideal conditions. Best regards,

I loved this experience and I’m happy we went with this company over others. They provide humor safety and so much fun on the water. It’s only a 4 out of 5 because of the water levels. It was a great time regardless but I wish we had come before and after dry season. Water levels weren’t as high as they could have been

Great Experience

My family and I had the most amazing time. Our guide was so funny and he had a great eye to see wildlife.. saw monkeys and a few other animals while on the trip. Highly recommend this company if you choose to go white water rafting!

Best excursion in Costa Rica

Jacki_C, Jan 2023

Rafting was the best part of our trip to Costa Rica - the rafting guides were so much fun and very good at what they do. We highly suggest you do this excursion.

What an amazing time! My boyfriend...

Natasha R, Jun 2017

What an amazing time! My boyfriend and I had never been rafting and were a bit nervous since the rapids were a bit stronger during our trip, but our guide was such a professional we knew we were in good hands. While other guides wanted to flip the raft, we stayed upright the entire time. Some rafts had up to 7 people. We were lucky enough to have our own raft with our private guide who pointed out the wildlife and was receptive to what we were interested in. I highly recommend making this part of your vacation.
