It was a great experience. A must do even though you’re not an adventurer. Believe me you won’t regret it. Orlando and Jonathan were our tour guides and they were excellent. Very knowledgeable about Rafting and the surroundings. The food taste amazing.

Great adrenaline rush with a great guide. Orlando was awesome. The river had lots of challenging sections but always felt in control.

My fiance and I had the BEST time with our guides Nicholas, Davide, Mario, and one other name I forget (sorry). I had been rafting before but my partner never. We never felt unsafe and we had a smile the entire time. The views are gorgeous, the river is fun, and even the ride up to the launch point was great with a truck with no doors through the jungle. Can’t say enough positive things. Well worth the money. Lunch afterwards was just what was needed as well. Can’t go wrong by booking this!

This is with Tucanes Tours and was excellent. I've done about a dozen rafting trips in the US and this was just as good as any of them. Our group of 8 had a safe and wonderful time. My guide, Leandro was awesome! They feed you a typical Costa Rican meal afterwards and you can purchase pictures for $40/boat. Highly recommend!

Our white water rafting trip was fantastic. Our guide, Mario, knew the river like the back of his hand. So much fun. Impressed with the entire operation from the guides, to the photographer, the exceptional safety standards and Super Mario our shuttle driver. A don’t miss this experience for anyone visiting the Quepos area.

Beautiful scenery and thrilling rapids during this trip. Guides gave great explanations, kept us safe and ensured we had fun. Lunch afterward was nice.

One word- EPIC! We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica- fishing, zip lining, relaxing but THIS ALONE would have made the trip!!! This was an all-in-one experience- nature, traditional Costa Rican meal, adrenaline, sight-seeing, everything. This was by far the best white water rafting I’ve ever done- included cliff jumping and swimming with the rush of class V rapids. Mario and Orlando were FANTASTIC. 1000000% recommend!

The whole trip was great.
From the beginning, the team was professional. The ride to the raft felt very safe, something I can't say of some other rafting. The whole rafting crew was really experienced and they would point out animals, foods, and plants. The ride was so much fun. Between rapids there was a spot to cliff-jump. I had so much fun.
The food at the end was really delicious and we even saw 20+ toucans while eating, though I heard that isn't the norm.
Would recommend 10/10

One of the best activities we did in Costa Rica. The river is wonderful and so refreshing and the team was super fun and very professional, we were in very good hands! They took the time to tell us about the flora and fauna as we saw it on the drive there as well. I recommend if you a looking for a thrilling experience to see the backcountry !

Luckily, my wife and I were the only ones on the tour. We had great guides and were able to see Tucans, Macaws and different types of lizards. The activity is about 5 hrs. So make sure you plan your day accordingly.

We booked a trip with Tucanes to run El Chorro. Because of heavy rain the El Chorro section was unfortunately closed. But the guides at Tucanes took us for a great trip down the lower section of the Naranje. They were the best guides we could ask for. Funny, professional and skilled. Marcos made sure we went through all the best rapids and he made sure we got splashed all day. The river was filled with good rapids the entire way and very scenic as well. Such a memorable and exciting time. We would do it again for sure.
