Exactly what we expected! Not the hardest rapids, but def enjoyable! Loved the drive & the history lesson. Our guides & driver were phenomenal. The walk to the waterfall with snacks was a great break with beautiful scenery. Water was refreshing on a hot day. Would do again for sure! Lunch was our fav tour lunch in all of Costa Rica. Jonathon was our safety guide, he was full of information. Jesus was our rafting guide & he was great! Luis was our driver & he was very kind as well! All around a great tour!

What a blast. We went during dry season so there were many portions that had shallow water. Regardless we felt safe and gad a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible day on the river. seamless organization; from check-in to the shuttle ride, everything was efficient. Our guide Ulises was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the river, geology, flora & fauna which added a very nice touch! The lunch provided was delicious. If you want a mix of excitement and expert-level safety, this is the crew to book with.

Our tour was amazing and definitely the highlight of our trip. The guides were very educational and kept us entertained. Would absolutely recommend this experience again!

Such an amazing trip! Started off with pick up from our Air Bnb and was greeted by our guide Ulysses who was awesome! From there we were provided with a delicious lunch and rode up to the river. The ride to the rafts was a little long but Ulysses made it interesting by giving us facts about the local areas we were passing through. The white water rafting was scenic and we were able to stop at a waterfall and swim at multiple points on the tour. Definitely recommend!!

It was a great experience, guides looked for wildlife along the way. Rafting was mild as it was dry season but still enjoyable. Lunch was great.

Guides made it a fun ride, were super kind and very knowledgeable! Ulysses, Luis, and Jason in particular were awesome and went out of their way to make sure our family had a great adventure!

It was great. They came right to our hotel, picked us up and took us for an adventure. The crew was great, welcoming and very friendly on the rides to and from. They were very professional and help us as needed. Very experienced and kept it light hearted.

joined this rafting tour with my 11-year-old son and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The guides were highly professional, friendly, and made us feel safe from start to finish. The rafting itself was so much fun – exciting rapids but also very manageable for families.
A highlight was stopping by a beautiful waterfall for a break, which gave us time to relax, swim, and enjoy the scenery. Everything was well organised and full of good energy.
I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica – it’s a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and fun!

Today was one of my best experiences in my life. We had so much fun on the river with my friends. A great way to celebrate with my wife my friend's wife birthday. We actually went through a 3+ rapid and survived. Can't wait to do it next time. Big shout out to Kenneth, Juan, JuanCarlos and Louis & Humberto our guides and drivers. They were the best you must always ask for them. Also they served us a great traditional lunch, picked us up on time, and their focus was all about safety!
Definitely gonna do this next time. I will come back to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

This was a great experience, professional and fun. Rafts were on the smaller side, we had six (three adults and three kids) on ours and it worked out well. Great scenery and some mild rapids, our 7 year old did fine with it.
Jacqueline_A, Jul 2025
This experience was phenomenal from the moment we got picked up at the Parador Resort and Spa. It’s about an hour drive into the jungle and small towns. It’s isolated and breathtaking. Our guides were great very accommodating. Pablo was our lead and he shared fun facts and made the experience fun. The entire team is great! The white water was great for beginners and novice alike. We were a group and of 19 and everyone loved it. Can’t go wrong with this company. They serve lunch and the food is delicious they take photos so you only have to worry about arriving enjoying the ride and having fun. Would highly recommend.
MariaC_N, Jul 2025
It was fun for us all! The drive there was a little longer then expected!
But the service was great! We would do it again ;-))

Jesus, Pablo, and the entire team were great. The day started with food at the office that was delicious. They were great tour guides teachings about the land.
Highly recommend.

It was so much fun for the entire family. The guides were great and entertaining. Felt safe and had a wonderful experience.
Tammy_G, Jun 2025
Such a fun activity for the family and a range of ages. We were a group of 4 families (8 adults and 12 kids between the ages of 14-17). Perfect adventure, safe and not an everyday activity. Excellent guides and the stop at the waterfall was an extra special stop.
Christy_F, Jun 2025
What an experience!!! Our guide, Andres, was absolutely amazing and we had a fantastic time on the river. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Most of the group had never been rafting before so it was an exciting adventure for them. We did end up falling off during one of the roughest rapids, but they were so quick to rescue everyone. True professionals! On our way back, we stopped at a restaurant for a delicious ice cold beer. Afterwards, we ate at their office in Manuel Antonio and the food was so good! It was a great day-Andres was spectacular, the river was beautiful, and the food was delicious. Don’t hesitate to book if you are up for some excitement and leaving your comfort zone!

Great day on the water. The guides were all friendly and fun! The time spent was just enough time. Not too short and not too long. The lunch after rafting was the best!
Allie_R, May 2025
This was one of the best excursions we have ever been on. The instructors were awesome and made the experience even better.
Leslie_B, May 2025
The drive takes longer than they admit but it’s totally worth it. Johnny, Louis and Pedro were great during the entire trip. Harrison the driver was amazing and the armadillo is an experience! The waterfall is beautiful and lunch was great. They picked us up at our hotel too which made it easy for us.

Great trip. Been twice. Must go in the rainy season. Water is much better. Highly recommend this trip for everyone

This trip was amazing! We didn’t realize upon booking that it’s about 1 1/2 drive from Quepos but our guide Uylessus kept us entertained and the ride to the river was very interesting. The rafting was fantastic. We got some fun rapids but not too much. I felt very safe the whole time. A guide in each raft along with two kayakers from the company went along with us to help. Loved the stop along the waterfall where we swam. Nice meal back at the main shop at the end of the trip. I would highly recommend. A definitely highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!
James_M, Apr 2025
Great experience! Our kids 11, 9, and 7 absolutely loved it. The rapids were exciting and the water was warm. Our guide Jonathan was really the best. 10/10 recommend this company.
Brandy_P, Apr 2025
We had a great time. It was my friend's first time white water rafting. She said that it was far more fun than she expected it to be. It had rained that morning, so the waters were a little high, but that just added to the excitement.
Keri_L, Apr 2025
Wonderful day, amazing guide!! Such a memorable adventure on a beautiful river! If you are on the fence about whether to go, definitely do it!
Jessica_Y, Mar 2025
This was a once in a lifetime experience! Luis gave a lesson on Costa Rica in the drive to the drop off point. The scenery, river and waterfall were beautiful! The river was both thrilling with the rapids and relaxing when we just floated along enjoying the refreshing water of the cleanest river in Central America. All the guides were friendly and our guide, Wesley was a great teacher. I would highly recommend this exciting excursion!
mathew_m, Feb 2025
Great guides, fun rapids, & really tasty fresh food after. I didn’t fall out of the raft once. I definitely recommend!
Alyssa_E, Feb 2025
Amigos del Rio was great! Highly recommend them! We had a great time and the tour guides are very knowledgeable.
