Great time rafting! - We had a great experience (our best tour of the trip). Our guide was great. There were some exciting parts and then some parts that were pretty chill. We stopped and had fresh fruit on the beach and also the meal at the end was delicious (typical costa rican food). Went with my 17 year old daughter but lots of older and younger people there too.

Fun times at Arenal rafting - Thanks to our raft tour guide - Melvin. He was thorough, helpful and most of all, funny! Melvin made the rafting experience fun and safe. During the tour, you stop midway and have a fruit snack break. At the end, lunch is provided with different protein options. It’s yummy and delicious coffee is provided. We had a great time.

This was an amazing day!... - This was an amazing day! Our guide Victor was amazing and so much fun. The scenery was gorgeous. Victor even pointed out some sloths and other wildlife that we would have totally missed. The rapids were so fun! Had the thrill without feeling unsafe.

Rafting adventure - Yadar was our guide. He was great! The rafting trip was a good mixture of somewhat challenging rapids and a slower pace float. Lunch was yummy! Only suggestion would be to allow more time when departing the bus to board the rafts. I felt pretty rushed.

Well organized and fun. Excellent guide who was Roberto. He was creative. He called us warriors with black paint on our face. Ja - It was a wonderful adventure and I would recommend it as a must activity in Costa Rica. Two children aged 9 and 12 loved the activity.

Best white water rafting experience! - My family of 4 went white water rafting with Victor. It was amazing! It was truly memorable and couldn’t have had a better time. We even got the luxury of seeing animals and getting a history of Costa Rica during our ride. All of the guides with arenal were very helpful. Lunch at the end was enjoyed by all!
