Maravilhoso - Very fun! It's worth it! The van picked us up at our hotel in Puerto Viejo and we traveled about 2 hours. Arriving there, they served a great breakfast. Soon afterwards we are taken to the river and one of the instructors was explaining the commands and safety instructions. Already in the river, the little start is a very easy part of practice, you will feel comfortable even if you have never done this activity. The first descents are exciting but as soon as you catch the way, the secret is to hold your feet tight in the kakaka va tennis boat for greater safety. The landscapes are stunning!!! The instructors all very good and fun, ah and also go 2 kayaks in case something happens. Finally they serve a well served lunch and the van takes us back to the hotels. Anyway, we love it!! I highly recommend!

Super experience, definitely do it when you're around! - What a fantastic trip, we only enjoyed four hours with a super smile on our face. Our captain Suce (ryan) was just GREAT. A lot of humor, a lot of info, a lot of positive feedback and most importantly...he guided us through all levels perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone! Another tip...we were in a hotel near Turrialba but the starting place of the rafting is a lot further south, where you can probably also be picked up by the organization.

Amazing! - This tour was fantastic!!! My warning to all of the pale people: WEAR PANTS AND LONG SLEEVES. You get wet enough that you will NOT be hot. Just do it. You can't keep the sunscreen on and you will burn. My legs are purple and I applied five times in four hours. Just take my word for it.

Do it! - This was my husbands and I favorite excursion during our stay in Costa Rica. The entire staff is extremely friendly and the entire event is well organized. Well worth the 2 hour drive from Puerto Viejo

Excellent tour! - We had an excellent time. Our day started a little rocky, because the bus left us at the pick-up location, but they were able to give us instructions on where we needed to be. It was a 2.5 hour drive, but we made in it time. The river is excellent for white water rafting, the guides are friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour.
