Amazing water rafting experience - My wife and I had an amazing time on our water rafting trip in Costa Rica! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, everything was smooth and well-organized. The drive was about two hours each way, and while it made for a full-day adventure, it was absolutely worth it. The guides gave clear, step-by-step instructions that made us feel confident and safe, even as beginners. What really stood out was how friendly and detailed the instructors were — they explained everything with patience and a great sense of humor, making the experience both exciting and comfortable. We went during the low season, so it was only us and one other tourist, which meant we basically had a private tour to ourselves. After rafting, we were treated to a local lunch that turned out to be one of the best meals we’ve had in Costa Rica so far — fresh, flavorful, and authentic. They also took photos during the trip, which were offered for an additional cost. We ended up buying them because they captured such great memories, but it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish — a full day of fun, great company, and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

The easy way or the hard way? - Hands down an excellent Tour! Hands down one of my favorite tours I’ve ever done in Costa Rica or otherwise! At first I was scared when reading the description of the rapids with having class 3&4 falls but it was such a fun experience. Our tour guides Luis & Juan were so attentive, knowledgeable, fun and funny! We had a BALL out there on the river. Also, the lunch that you get, choose the pork chop! It was amazing! Had me looking up Costa Rican pork chop recipes on the way back to the hotel. (If you do feel inclined Tenorio adv. company, please email me the recipe!) At the end of the tour, our guide asked us if we wanted to do the class 4 rapid the easy way (staying in our raft) or the hard way (being thrown out) we ABSOLUTELY chose the hard way because..WHY NOT?! We felt safe enough with Luis to choose the hard way and it was great! There were a couple of spots through out the 2 hour tour that allowed us to get out and swim for a few minutes before continuing. We even saw lots of wild life. We will be doing this exact tour and maybe a class for the bigger rapids again when we return. Until next time!

Unforgettable experience - We did rafting as a family, with our teenage children aged 13 and 18 and we all enjoyed the experience very much. During the quieter stretches we could enjoy nature. But on reaching the rapids the adrenaline went off! It was so much fun! In addition our guide Felipe was very friendly and controlled the boat very well. The food was also delicious and the staff very friendly.. If you are in the area it is a highly recommended experience.

Rafting - Great company, well run rafting trip. Beautiful area . could take a queue from rafting trips in the northwest US. Perhaps raft for a while , stop swim have lunch and then continue. Makes for a longer trip and better than having lunch at a restaurant afterwards. In my humble opinion
